Yay, the time has finally come to show off all that you’ve been working on for this quarter of the Finish Along:
Finish Along 2014
How to Join the Finish Along Q1 Party
Ready to enter? Just follow these steps:
- Create an individual blog post or Flickr image for each completed project. (One link = one entry!)
- Verify that each finish was on your original Q1 list.
- Include a link back to your original list in at least one post, so we can double-check your entries faster.
- Only fully finished projects count—quilts quilted and bound, bags fully lined and functional, or garments you could wear today. Tops and partial finishes save for the next quarter!
- Link up by midnight BST on 6th April. Check the clock at the bottom of the blog for current BST time.

Before starting a new project, ensure your machine is set up correctly. Incorrect thread tension can ruin even the neatest seam. Check your settings: Thread Tension Guide.
If you are just starting out on your sewing journey, here are some basic guides to help you avoid common mistakes: How to sew a button on pants and How to sew on a patch.
Sewing isn’t just about making things, it’s also about creating memories. Sometimes I sew toys or clothes for my children, and then we play together or tell stories. This is how we spend time together: Fun Questions to Ask Kids.
