I don't let the booboos in quilting get me down, not sure who came up with a 1/4 seam, so just try if possible to skip that part, same size work well enough in this sewing room normally 3/8, are we saving fabric?, most of us have way too much :) and were saving it for what?
Do understand some patterns require these seam sizes, think I'll by choice skip those:)
Do strive to make pretty, useful goodies, and done is the Greatest !! Happy Sewing
