FREE LIVE WORKSHOP FOR THE SEWING BEE

Why Your Corners Never Quite Match Up (And the Fix That Actually Sticks)

🐝

Join quilter and pattern designer Sammy Dahlstrom for a free live workshop on getting a truly accurate 1/4" seam.
Thursday, September 17 at 8pm EST.

If you've ever squared up a block, pressed it just right, and still watched your corners land a little off... it's probably not you. It's your seam allowance.

Tiny differences add up fast. A hair off on dozens of seams turns into real inches by the time you get to the border. And most of us have never actually sat down and figured out exactly what our machine is doing.

That's what this workshop is for.

— free, open to all Sewing Bee members

What you'll walk away with:

🐝 How to calibrate your machine's seam allowance using a simple test project

🐝 Troubleshooting for needle position, thread weight, and pressing technique

🐝 Which tools are actually worth buying, and which ones you probably already own

🐝 A documented, personal seam allowance setup you can come back to every time you sit down to sew

Less guessing. Less cussing. Less seam ripping.
By the end, you'll have points that actually match.

What to bring:

Your machine, and a willingness to sew a few test strips with scraps. That's it.

Meet your teacher:

Sammy Dahlstrom is a quilter and pattern designer based in Chicago, working under the name Sonder Quilt Studio.

After thirteen years in operations and people leadership at a fast-growing startup, she came to quilting looking for something to make with her hands, and stayed for the math. Her work favors modern-traditional lines, muted palettes, and a Scandinavian sense of restraint: quiet geometry over novelty.

She's a member of the Chicago Modern Quilt Guild and the Craft Industry Alliance.
