I will always pin 4 patch from now on!
I think pins are the answer. Even if I don't need to pin a patch to sew it together, I use a pin to indicate which is the side to sew. Has saved me lots of "unsewing" time. But for those that say, leave it and come back later. I'm one of those that can't rest until it is undone and redone. That would drive me crazy to walk away from it!
