Oh - the other tricky part is remembering to change feet when you go to straight to zigzag stitches! Had that issue on the first one. After that I chain sewed them and it was much easier. Did have my "Purple Thang" to push the fabric under the foot at the center.

First few dozen I pinned and pinned. After a while, you don't even need that. Just fold, snip, flip
