So when sewing on triangles, how do you line them up to come out right? I know there's little pieces on the ends to cut off, but what do you line up?
I had to rip out block #1 and do it again.
Line up the center of the triangle side that is to be sewn with the center of the piece to which you are attaching it ... i.e., if you are sewing the triangle to a square, match up the centers of each; make tiny center creases with your fingers, put the creases back to back, pin & sew ... make sure it is exactly centered before you sew; once you get it pinned, you can tell just by looking at it if it is centered. Some folks do not pin when they are quilt piecing, but I pin at strategic points.
