This is my first attempt at paper piecing blocks and then putting them together in a table runner. Not perfect, by any means, but then again, I learned alot. Mostly to be careful with your seam ripper
I stitched in the ditch around the parts of the houses which was a challenge in itself. I also had trouble with ending the binding strip on a diagonal. Thorn in my flesh!! I bought a tool to help with that; watched videos on it; sewed and ripped and sewed and ripped the joining seam out numerous times. I either sewed it the wrong way or it ended up being too big--like 1/2 inch too big. Never did figure out what I did wrong, so I just trimmed it 1/2 inch and then sewed it together. Suggestions on why it was 1/2 inch off. I used the Binding tool where you leave a 12 inch space between tails. Tails are to be 10 inches long on each side. I butted the tool up to where I started the binding and marked on the correct markings. Flipped it 180 degrees and did the same to the other side, except this time I measured and then cut from the tip of the tool like the instructions said. If anyone has used the Binding Tool (large one), any suggestions on my problem would be appreciated. Thanks for looking and overall I did enjoy making this.
