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!
Don't cut the threads off where you start. That will tell you which end you started on. Once you start the next seam, then clip the thread off. I do the same thing when I do stitch in the ditch. I alternate which side of the quilt I start from for the same reason. I don't know if it makes that much difference when quilting, but I don't take a chance with it.
