What say you? It seems like such a great idea but somehow I'm just not very successful at it. So I tried a "thangles" block of the month through our local quilt shop to improve my skills. Stitching on the line never gave me a true 1/4" no matter how hard I tried. They suggested that I sew just a thread outside the line which I did but then the corners didn't come out right. I put my thumbnail on the sewing line and ripped the thangle off as was demonstrated but no matter how I did it, usually, there was some still stuck to the fabric at the ends and when I pulled it off it undid the stitches at that end and I had to resew. Plus my finished block was always still too small.
