Emma, thank you for the picture. I had planned on trimming all 244 chevrons today but on my very first one, if I trim to save the chevron points it's to big by 1/4". I'll either have to re sew the bottom part or not care that it's very blunt. I actually walked away from it. I decided to use the strip method and followed the directions to a T. My sample worked so I dove into them. One or a few bad points I wouldn't care about. But all of them... I'm sure it's my error. If I had it to do over. I'd 100% use Bonnie's method. I sure haven't saved time doing strips.
