Stitching in the Ditch:
ok, you are looking at your block, seam line is right down the center, your seam allowances are pressed to your right...
now...to stitch in the ditch, do you stitch to the right of the seam, on top of the seam allowances OR
do you stitch to the left of the seam on the "no seam allowances" side?
I read that if you do it correctly, it strenghthens your quilt and since I had to 'skinny' up some of my seam allowances, it needs all the strength I can give it. It's going on a five year olds bed and probably will see the inside of a washing machine a lot! :D
