Thread: What method do you use to make 9 patches?

Do you sew 9 squares together, use 3 strips and cut 9 patch, or use another method? What is the best way to have every seam match up?

I strip piece them. So much easier.

I strip piece if I have/need a lot. I also piece them if I'm using up precut squares.

Me too!

If they're small I strip them. Larger than 4 inch. I sew them together.

I prefer to strip piece too :D:D:D
For piecing there is a great tutorial here on the board in the Tutorial section :D:D:D

I use strip piecing for both 4 and 9 patch. Love doing both-

"strippin' is the only way to go

I strip piece unless I'm doing scrappy and then it's the old fashioned way of sewing squares together.

I'm a stripper! I also use this method for a D9P.
