[ATTACH=CONFIG]315955[/ATTACH] I think it looks better with the points lining up (I did this on the office copier, just folded and taped! no sewing
)
But being short 1/8 to 3/16 on the width of the outside triangles may not be such a big deal. Better he sleep under it knowing his mom loves him than not get it because I damaged the fabric seam-ripping. That photo-fabric is very difficult, and some of the fabric is thin batik, and some printed fabric is ravelling already. Ugh. There's a good excuse!
Risk aversion!
DogHouseMom, I got myself a scalpel with a turned-up blade , but I am afraid to use it. Do you open the seam wide, then hope to cut straight? I need a tute on that one!
Thanks folks, I appreciate the comforting ideas. And the thought of not ripping has made my day!
