The 1/4" seam. The pain in the neck seam! I am President of our guild. You do not know how many demo's and workshops have been held. We show the different feet that can be used for a scant 1/4" seam; have on display what the seam will look like using these different feet; even to bring our machines and have the members sew the seam. I am in the process of putting together a community quilt for our local Veteran's Home. Some of the blocks cannot be used. Block is not the correct size, some seams are larger than 1/4", some are sewed with a 1/16" seam. Others do not check their thread tension. I had to go back and reinforce the seams. With frequent washings these quilts will fall apart. I'm not in the habit of complaining, could you bloggers tell me why someone would not be proud to hand in a usable block. I'm not a perfectionist but? Our Board needs help.
