I sure didn't know that when I started to quilt that there were so many tiny little things I would need to learn to make these quilts so beautiful. Thanks for all the great tips.

Jan, I was so impressed with your computer generated art work. Great job!

I have been shying away from strip sets due to bowing even when using half the WOF pieces. With some new tools and pressing ideas I might just try them again. Thanks everyone.

I just ordered the long one. I figure I'd rather pay the person who came up with the idea than drive 1/2 hour to town and find a p;ace that sells this specific piece of wood. I always buy from the inventor, always! I figure they pay for the ads, which cost a lot, and they came up with the idea, which is pretty cool, so I give them credit. They are usually quilters themselves trying to make a buck.

I also set my seam then I press from the front to avoid the little creases that can sneak in on me when I iron from the back. If, as usual, I'm pressing to the dark, I put the light down on the board and hold the dark up with my left (non-ironing) hand as I let the seam allowance lay to the side and press carefully - that probably doesn't make sense to any of you...does it?

My dh made me a pressing stick by splitting a 1" dowel rod down the middle and sanding.
