Can anyone suggest how to get your blocks lined up perfectly at the joints without so much back tracking; fixing blocks that moved.
Thanks, Mariah.
On one of the professional's TV shows, they used a U shaped pin with a prong inserted on ea. side of the seam. She then inserted a reg. straight pin between the prongs & then removed the U pin. So I went out & bought U pins but forget to use them. Duuuh. I've often wondered if anybody actually uses them.
