I do this alot when I am piecing. If I don't my first piece gets yucked on.
I try to do that most of the time. it is easier and saves a lot of time and frustration.
Same here. I have a bunch of 1 1/2" squares cut and handy. I jsut reach in and grab a light and a dark piece and run it through at the end of a seam. I have a medium sized box about half full now and will soon have to put them together for something! :roll: :thumbup:
Saves thread plus I get to use those tiny scraps ... heaven forbid that they should be thrown out!
