I thought I would just cut them a bit smaller with a template, but it gets stuck on the join of all four centers and moves all around and I can't cut accurately around it.
What in the world am I doing wrong? I have done them over and over and they just don't turn out the right size. Suggestions?
I always press my seams open for this, it cuts down on the bulk in the center and makes it easier to square.
Hope this is what you were asking for.
