yorkiemom gave me a good tip on PP, don't cut your fabric to size just cut it to aworkable size and then sew and trim to a 1/4 seam allowance AFTER you've sewn it, especially on the angles I could never get it sewn right, after I tried it her way it worked like a charm. I just started doing PP with the Jan House BOM. Now I've done 6 and it gets easier with each on. The last two were after yorkiemom's tip and it went sooo much smoother lol

Well, I have joined this BOM to learn new techniques and I even bought new bright fabric to stretch myself even further. (I tend to like muted colors). So, off I go to try this. Wish me luck!
