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!
Cut the thread off short with the machine cutter at the end of the row. So look for the short thread where you ended sewing, no need to mark it. Start sewing at that end, keeping in mind your arrangement of strips. alternating the direction every time.
