I must have missed the 3-step pressing process, too. What is it?
And, Cindy, someone on this board recommended Presencia 60-weight cotton thread for machine piecing and I love it! It's a little thinner than the thread I'd been using (50 weight?) and makes a huge difference when putting together these tiny blocks. I found it on line at Red Rocks (I think that's the name of the company), but I'm sure it can be found elsewhere.
