Begin with a base fabric, such as muslin. Top the base fabric with quilt batting (optional). Pin a fabric piece, right side up, in the center of the base fabric. Place a second piece of fabric on top of the first piece, right sides together, aligning fabric edges. Sew a straight stitch along the fabric edge [Fig. 3]. Flip the second piece over and press the seam. Select stitch “K” and topstitch along the finished seam [Fig. 4]. Continue to add, sew, and topstitch fabric pieces, covering raw edges until the base fabric is covered.
