Kerf is a definite issue and especially when I blew up the JB grid the draft lines are very thick now. But no, the instructors I have spoken to say I do best to machine or hand piece this, as do the women at the JB studio. I guess it can't be paper pieced easily.
But it's more than kerf because even when I draft with a mechanical pencil, very thin lines, I am still having lots of irregularities.
