hi patrice, i have a question or two. i am the one trying to make a bergello and am taking a class. my next class is this weekend. as you have read in my threads about the twisted bergello and sewing strips i am having problems. i haven't alternated my strips and found out that yes my cut is alittle off. so there for i have what my friend says is a small bow in my strips. if i were to keep on sewing them and not match the edges up as i should. such as just matching the top and bottom of the fabrics could or would it striaghten out or will this hurt me alot when i go to cutting them on my next step? i am still stuck on my first 6 sets of the one color. because i am afraid of how it is going to look. but i really need to get a move on the weekend will be here before i know it. if the bow isn't real big will i have alot of problems with it? hopefully you can help sincerely jeanette
