I just joined this wonderful group and at fairly new at quilting, I have been taking lessons in town and loving it, I love your work and think you should stop picking on yourself so much, some of the things I have turned out make me blush but everyone else can't believe I did it. I loved all the answers you received and will try them myself, the one pin in each seam and holding them together to match really helped me, but think I will try the glue just to see which is better. Don't laugh at me, but what if our 1/4 " foot isn't really sewing 1/4", now wouldn't that be something...your doing great!
