I used to think that I had to settle for being "close". But after watching some videos, and reading this forum, I have discovered that with a little extra effort, with cutting, sewing and ironing (pressing, not ironing) I have gotten much better. The extra effort up front will save time in the long run. Now when I finish a block it is square and not skewed to one side. Still not "perfect" but getting closer.
