Since I'm using vellum, its pretty easy to tear and I'm leaving my stitch length at slightly below 2. I generally don't have a problem with it like that. I just hate to pull the paper because it hurts my hands...but thats just part of it. So..I'll have to do it when I count up the pieces of the already done blocks :oops: :lol:
When I am cutting out my pp patterns, I draw an arrow on the outside edges to remind myself not to trim those sides until the very last. It allows a little "fudge" room for me.
