[QUOTE=AngelinaMaria;5497701]I am sewing a large number of 10 inch long by 1 inch wide 2 and 3 strip sets. The background strip is a regular cotton and the other strips are Hoffman batiks. When I sew 2 strips together, they come out of the sewing machine slightly bowed. The center spot is bowed down (so it looks like a smile when placed on the cutting board the same side up and was sewn) by 1/8 of an inch. I am wonder if there is something I should be doing or changing that would prevent that.





Do not sew from the same side every time. Switch sides it will fix it right up - if your strips are all even. I have found some of my earlier strips were not cut as well as I do now.
