That fold actually uses up threads on the fabric, so your block might be smaller pressing to one side than it would be by pressing to one side.
Are ya tired, Omak? Did ya mean to say, "so your block might be smaller... than it would be pressing open?"[u] Or, am I losing it? :) I read the same thing too, recently. Great minds read alike, lol. :lol:
Don't think I was tired, probably trying to watch the news, flip through advertisements and type <g> ... the correct way for it to read is:
If you press to one side, it is possible that your block will be smaller than it would be if you pressed the seams open. (Something to be considered on any type of seam ...)
THanks for catching that, Quiltgranny! You were definitely watching my back <g>
