i did this 30 times before noticing that when i pressed the piece to the side it was lower than the larger adjacant piece. about 1/4".....how am i to sew these together without cutting the finished piece to match the added triangle?
the diagram shows it matching in one straight line when pressed open, but it is not, and i am quite angry. i have tried pressing the seam in a different direction and pressing it open.
.......is this clear as mud?
Sorry, I can't quite visualise this, a pic would help.
