Learn Stitch in the Ditch Quilting

From Rosaland Hannibal

Like any other quilting skill, stitching in a seamline takes practice.

1. Begin by dropping the sewing machine's needle between the two fabrics that meet at a seam.
2. Stitch along the seam line, pulling the fabrics apart slightly on both sides of the seam as you sew. It can be a challenge to hold your hands steady as you guide the quilt under the needle -- don't give up, just keep practicing.
