I have an awful time achieving consistent scant 1/4-inch seams and welcome any method that helps me achieve good results. Cutting a smidge wider works for me, but I have used many other tools to get where I am today. I do not compare my completed works or how I achieved them with others (and there are masters on this board!) but feel a sense of accomplishment when I have finished a project to the best of my own ability. What is one person’s so-called “skill” may not be another’s. Who is right?
We are our own worst critics and I’m sure we hold ourselves to a higher standard. However, this Board is here to support, encourage and advise. Not to judge others for the methods they use to enjoy their art of quilting. Sorry, hit a nerve, I guess.
