I can't stress how important it is to do a test sew first.
.......... even if it's not as large as 1/8" and just a thread or two off ... it multiplies incredibly!
And if you do 1/4" on one strip, but not the other ....!!
Or ... if it's 1/4" in the centre of the strip and gets narrower at the end(s) ... well, you get the picture, though it seems a lot of others don't!
