"I have been trying for several months to download the itty Mountain Quilt pattern. It comes up from time to time, but I have never been able to get to the link. It is the Moda Bakeshop site, and it is a free pattern, but I cannot get it. Very disappointing because it is a beautiful pattern. Any suggestions???"

"Almost ten years ago when I started sewing, I read a sewing tip. It recommended always splitting seams and ironing them flat. This method protects thread the best and prevents wear and tear and possible breakage of seams. For almost ten years, I ironed all my seams open. It was tedious work, but I knew it would make for the best quality quilt. (Even though I had a terrible time getting my corners to line up well.) Learning to nest your seams, my friends, is a quilter’s best friend."
