blocks
#2
1/4" is mine. To make sure this happens, I read somewhere to put a stack of post-it-notes by my foot (This is so I don't have to really concentrate on my 1/4" foot). I start it probably about an 1 1/2" in front of my foot backwards. Actually really works!!! Now I can concentrate on other things. :oops: :lol: :lol:

After sewing for a while, the seam allowance "just sort of happens." I don't really overthink the blocks any longer. Straight pieces without points get less attention than those with points. I try to be consistent and it usually works out.
