Piecing Sashing Strips

PIECING SASHING STRIPS

When you must piece sashing, borders, or binding strips, sew together with a 45 degree angled seam. The diagonal seam will be less noticeable than a straight seam.

Begin by layering right sides of fabric together.

Cut away excess fabric leaving a 1/4" seam allowance for borders/sashing. Press to one side.
