Reply To: Keeping Plaid Matched

yes, matching stripes and plaids is not easy so don’t be so hard on yourself. There are a few things you can do. You can use a lot more pins and when you sew, don’t remove them until you’re right up on them. You can hand baste the seam first. Or you can use a walking foot. You probably did a good job pinning originally, but when you’re sewing at the machine, the fabric could be sliding apart, making it no longer match. Don’t give up 🙂
