Then I only take off 4 or 5 at a time to sew them together - chainstitching so both halves are done at once.
Irishrose, this is what I did but I ended up short one set because my strata turned out not to be wide enough for the last one. I made sure it was 22" wide but could not get that last one on. I made a whole new strip set to make sure I had them all.
I just don't know where I messed up. Now I can't figure out the instr. for beginning to sew them together. It says to put the 2 smallest pcs. of one color way right sides together aligning the narrow edges (points) (sew the right hand edge" on Pg 6. That isn't making any sense to me since once I stitch down the R the sm. top pc. hangs off the R side of the other pc. What am I misreading here? Then when I do the same to the next 2 pcs. I can't see how they're going to be added. I sure hope somebody can get me on the right track.
