Well, first snag. When I made my practice block out of scrap, I kept having trouble getting the 1/4" seam. Last night I realized why. My sewing machine is made for a 3/8" seam. I can get a 1/4 seam, but it is a struggle. Would a 1/4" presser foot help? Couldn't hurt? Right? Anything to help hold the fabric on both sides of the needle instead of my fingers!
I guess I'll go to Joann's and see if they have one. I've only been there 3 times this weekend and Hancock's once. Now I understand why quilters accumulate so much stuff! I only thought I had everything I needed to get started!
