also, remember "Baggy Bottoms" which means if you have one layer longer than the other and you are working them in, put the one that needs eased in on the bottom. The feed dogs will help to make it easier to work in than the foot. And sew each row/ strip in opposite directions. Example: if you are looking at your quilt and you started sewing one row on the right, then sew the next row starting on the left.
