Great tips! For folks that don't have a serger for the edges, you can use Pinking Sheers (scissors that make a zig zag edge), which will also prevent fraying.
Most important step with any kind of patchwork is to constantly iron your seams as you go so you get a perfectly flat piece of fabric and all joins lie flat
I usually stitch everything together and on the inner side i iron the fabric to the sides, and on the front side i use a flattening decorative seam (u have it on Singer machine) it's zigzag +direct stitch together. It awesomely flattens everything and keeps the ends of fabric away from ragging... and makes the final patchwork piece even and flat.
I usually apply starch on the fabric, dry it, iron it and only after that i start cutting and stitching. The fabric is like paper afterwards. I do it with light colours only.

Happy to help! :)
Would pinking the raw edges work too?
I love your intro
Love it Nicole!
But what if you want frayed edges showing?😢
if you get a seam and you want to sew o er I get a hammer and flattern it it works believe me
Omg so true! This is something I just adapted recently as well as using a walking foot! Definitely learned more tricks since uploading this video!
As in a "thick" seam that your machine may have a hard time getting through it? If so, what GREAT idea.
@@conishkee yes exactly! It really helps to flatten the seam before sewing 🙂
