I'm out of my corner now. I have everything cut for three blocks.
Has anyone else had issues before with using a 1/4 guide foot and coming up short on the entire block length? I have to rip out part of a block that I put together because it's a 1/4 short of the 12.5. I know it's not me. I made sure I went slow sewing so there's no wobbles and I made sure I checked a billion times before cutting and checked again when I was done cutting to make sure everything was correct. I think I'm going to take the row apart and then get another colored painters tape and mark for a smaller seam allowance.
Ugh I hate malfunctions but at the same time I'm glad because this is giving me time to learn more and get better. And even through teething my monster is letting me get sporadic spurts of work done during the day plus working during naps and bedtime.
