As it leaves little saw tooth edges on the fabric, I noticed when sewing two pieces together that you will never get your "teeth" to match up, but it doesn't matter, they can be uneven, as it doesn't effect the final work.

And, there are not ten thousand threads stuck to my clothes and all over my dining room and kitchen floors, either! (Longing for the day when I can build a proper sewing room...*sigh*).
