Paper piecing help please!
I am trying my first paper piecing and have run into difficulty (why does this not surprise me!?) I hope I can explain this so someone will understand what I mean. The block is a 4 inch center square with 4 rectangles to be attached around it. The pattern is from AQS Sept 13 - Spinning Wheel. It is done with a partial seam on one of the rectangles.
When I am putting on the final rectangle, there are a lot of seams coming together and it seems that I need to cut the seam allowance to make it lie flat. The pattern doesn't say you need to do this. (mind you, the pattern also says it is easy....*sigh*).
So....clear as mud? Any suggestions for this beginning quilter??
thanks!
