Making a 9-patch block - piecing it

"Piecing" is the term for arranging and sewing the patches together. I do machine piecing on my Singer 1507. It is important to get the seams all going in different directions so that later, when you come to do the actual "quilting" (sewing lines across the entire quilt) there are no lumpy seams to sew through.
