27 four patches down . . . lots to go!
So when we are 'spinning' the seam to press are you all having to pull out one or two stitches to get the center to lie like Bonnie's pictures show? .
The seam "spinning" is easy once you have a couple of things down
1. When you do the piecing you HAVE to put together the "twosies" exactly the same each time...for example...
bottom seam pointing down, top seam pointing up when you stitch the middle seam..
2. Spin before pressing after stitching the middle seam...grin!
3. I hold the unpressed block so that the seam I just sewed is facing up and grasp with two fingers just beyond the middle and give it a twist to pop the stitches. Sometimes I have to snip one or two and then it will just spin them into place.
Hope that helps
