"Y" Seams
Can anyone guide me to the instruction for "Y" seams.
I watch a video and it was as thick as mud for me.
Does anyone have any insight, help or tips.
Thank you,
Kirsten

Draw a scant 1/4" seam line down the two seams. Where they cross is where you do needle down and pivot. then get next seam together and sew down. If the seams keep slipping glue them together lightly. Once you done a few they become easier.

Dottymo had good instructions. Here is a good video to illustrate them. https://www.jinnybeyer.com/quilting-with-jinny/tips-lessons/detail.cfm?instanceId=71DAA699-0AFE-8A90-85D38BA999BD18D8

They're really not that hard once you get the hang of it. I'm machine piecing a gfg. If I couldn't do y seams I would not ever be able to make one. I think half square triangles are more difficult to get right.

I just worked on a diamond logcabin pattern where all the blocks are put together with "Y" seams. I always stayed away from them but then I watched Jinny Beyer's video on them plus I marked my 1/4" at all ends so they matched up and now I have the body of my quilt done. I now have a respect for "Y" seams. Still don't like them but not afraid of them anymore either.
