i only change my needle if it breaks.
WOW, I better watch out for them then because I do about all of these. Some of my squares that I have cut are not exact, but close to it and I figure during the Civil War they didn't have rotary cutter and the things that we have now to make things SO much easier.
I roll my squares of 24 and that way when I get to them the seams are already folded down without ironing. I always cut towards myself and my one finger is still paying for that. lol I have not had bowed strips yet, crossing my fingers.
I am glad that I seem this post.
