Thank you! I'll try it tomorrow, hated to pass over it since it's the 4th block in the 1st row of DJ. I'll let you know how it goes. And GGal, I agree--I love those red binding clips. I tried the ones from the dollar store but the red ones just slide right off without slowing down and like you said, there's no distortion of the fabric. I'm going to remove the paper about an inch before the join and draw the line to where they meet.....ok, this sounds doable. And being that we're supposed to get about 8" of snow tomorrow I'll be in the bat cave all day. Snow ranks right up there with y-seams and colonoscopies in my opinion!!
Thank you for the help.
