Hand-Sewn Quilting Series I: Kkekki, a Fine Seaming Technique

A Virtual Class with Youngmin Lee

Colorful patchwork fabric squares sewn together.

Kkekki is a beautiful and tidy seam technique for use with sheer fabrics. The finished seam is fine, neat, and sturdy.

Using sheer and lightweight fabric, Youngmin will teach how to use this technique to make narrow seam lines. Pick any lightweight fabric to pair together. This is also a great technique to use if you are making a textile where both sides are visible. At the end of class you will have a sample block with seams you will want to show off!
