Trying to tackle Farmer's Wife, and doing most in paper piecing. Most of the blocks are pp'd in sections. I've learned that I should leave the paper on when joining the sections BUT when I do, most times the seams on the sections have been sewn to the paper with the seams going in the same direction. So when I try to join the sections, there is huge bulk and I cannot "nest" the seams. I am very careful about piecing the individual sections as numbered on the pattern, but still the seams come out wrong. And even if I remove the paper, the seams are still sewn wrong. Is there a trick to getting the seams to lay (lie?) in the correct direction so when sewing the sections together, they will nest? I am soooooo frustrated by all this! Would appreciate any and all help!
