I've been quilting for almost 15 years...still struggle. My piecing has gotten neater and I press so much better but just recently discovered that what I thought was a 1/4" ISN'T!! My piecing will match up soooo much better on this next quilt...and I've used the same 1/4" foot for at least the last 10 years...I just wasn't lining up my fabric right!! Learning is good!!
