<p>Hello! My name is Aimee Griffin, from <a href="../../../../../">overallquilter.com</a></p>
<p>And today’s video is on Chain Piecing. I’m going to show you how to do quick stitching of the pieces using the half-square triangles from last week’s video.</p>
<p>But first, a thank you to Elsie, Diane and Pebble for their donations this week.</p>
<p>We are going to be making a pinwheel clock, using our half-square triangles from last week’s video. To do a quick chain piecing of this, we are going to take one block, and flip it on top of the other. I have here two blocks, and I’m going to show you how to chain piece those. So let’s go to our sewing machine.</p>
<p>When you are chain piecing, you want to start with a little piece of fabric, and that’s called your started piece. And what this does, is prevents your fabric from going into the well of your sewing machine. So, it’s a good idea to always use the starter. I do not pin because it’s such a small distance. So, I’m just going to lay my two squares on top of each other, and start stitching on my starter, feeding the next piece right after. When you get to the end, use your stiletto to hold down any of the seams that might want to come up.  Take your next piece and feed it right in.  Between each unit, there’s about 1 to 2 stitches.  Pull that out so you can see.  From each unit, there’s about 1 to 2 stitches between each other.</p>
<p>And that is Chain Piecing.  That will make it go quick and easy for you.  I’ll see you next week.</p>
