Video Transcript

Traditional piecing is a quilting technique that involves sewing fabric pieces together using a sewing machine or by hand to create a quilt block or quilt top. It is the most common and basic quilting technique, and it involves cutting fabric pieces into various shapes and sizes, then sewing them together with a seam allowance.

To begin traditional piecing, a pattern or design is selected, and fabric is chosen to create the design. The fabric is then cut into pieces of the appropriate size and shape, and each piece is sewn together using a straight stitch and a seam allowance.

The most common types of seams used in traditional piecing include a quarter-inch seam and a half-inch seam. These seams are used to join fabric pieces together to create the block or quilt top. After each seam is sewn, the fabric is pressed to set the seam and ensure that the fabric lays flat.
