I don't know about you but I'm not sewing just to listen to the machine, I want to make a quilt where all squares line up! Now you go back to your 1/4" seams and let us sadists who aren't doing so great using that method find a solution. How about THAT???????

What did you change doing to get your blocks to come out to the right size now?

(Whatever you did, glad you got the blocks to come out to the size you are hoping for)
