Does anyone have an easy method for remembering which direction you sewed each strip?
Should I just use a perm. marker to mark an arrow in the seam allowance at the start of each strip? Or maybe there's an even easier solution . . . . please post any ideas.
Thanks!
There are pins that are already marked L, R, T and B. Or you can use the flower pins and mark on them with a Sharpie. It really makes a difference - if you sew all the strips in the same direction, the feed dogs seem to make the fabric shift away from your starting side and then you get wonky!
