I have been working on my EPP and want to show what is done so far and what I did to compensate for my not so perfect hand sewing talent.

Here we go!
The finished blocks I have so far

My trick to hold the unsewn pieces together while I stitch them together

I saw a tip here on QB about not holding the two pieces back to back, but hold them side by side and you will never have show through at the seam.

Another trick to help keep my stitches in place. A simple index card and I added lines across it to guide the size of my stitches.

This may look weird and like over kill but my stitching is so bad I had to get creative solutions to help me out. Thanks for looking.
peace
