Isn't it nice we don't all do things the same way.......lol.
Me, too! Exactly that. I have to make adjustments when I sew blocks together. I cut them exactly right but when I go to put them together, they're not always exactly right (busy gremlins visiting in the night, I assume). I also sew my pieces together very carefully, only to find that I have a "pointless" point or my seams are off by a thread width or more. Again, it's gotta be the gremlins! If I press with an iron, it's almost impossible to make adjustments ... the crease made with the iron is a real problem (like the gremlins) so just finger pressing works very well for me until the quilt top is complete. And, yes, in spite of the gremlins, the end result has all the points and seams and measurements correct.
