Tiffany, I do that when I'm sewing pieces, I use a little "tail flag". It also saves on thread. Someone might think, "what's with the thread saving?". Well, if you do a lot of little pieces and a lot of quilts, that adds up to a lot of thread tails. I took a quilt block class several years ago and one lady there used to put out about a foot of thread each time she sewed two pieces together. The instructor told her about "tail flags" and how it saves on thread. This lady had a real attitude and continued all through the sessions to waste thread. She seems to really go out of her way after the instructor hint to show off how much thread she could waste. When the instructor would have a helpful suggestion, this lady would go out of her way to do something different even if it did waste time or fabric. Anyone else have someone like that in their quilting classes? Like my Gram would say, "Contrary".
