Pressing the seams opposite so when you put the two together they nest. And I use the Clover "U" shaped pins. I don't remember what they are called but they hold the intersection on both sides. Love them!

The 1/4 inch foot on the machine helps a lot too. And quiting when I got tired and not as careful!

I did lose 2 points when I put the binding on. OOPS! But I didn't redo it. By then the time rush was on to get it done before he left. I should have taken it out and adjusted but........oh well!
