Stitch and flip is just one of a variety of methods of achieving the snowballing.

I agree with this method. It is the way Jenny from MSQC shows to do it. It only takes a second to do this.

I don't like to rip! I find I do a whole lot less of it when I take time to mark things carefully than when I just decide to wing it. However, if you are accurate on other things without marking, give it a try.

Since I drive a sewing machine about the as straight as I do a car, (which is why I gave up my license), I draw nearly all my stitching lines with a #2 pencil on light sand paper. Works for me.
