Whether you’re sewing a quilt or a garment, masking tape is great for helping to ensure your machine-sewn lines are straight. Here’s how to create a guide:

1. Prepare the fabric pieces that you want to sew

2. Get your masking tape

3. Use a craft knife to cut though about 5 layers of tape and peel off about 30cm. Cut the tape

4. Stick the tape to the bed of your machine at the seam allowance mark that you want and then carefully stick it down the side of the machine and on to your sewing table.

5. Butt the fabric up against the little ledge that has been created by the tape and feed the fabric along as you sew.

Tada! Easy straight lines!
