I am taking a class next week and making a quilt called Cleopatra's Fan. The instructions stress that a scant 1/4 inch seam is VERY important. So, I adjusted my needle to a scant 1/4 inch and had a problem starting the seam. For the first time I tried a leader--it worked great. I never thought it was necessary, but now have changed my mind. I have been working on a sample block, and it is harder than it looks. It is a beautiful quilt, and I hope I am able to finish it. Same teacher as the double wedding ring, and I did finish that one after a lot of sweat and tears!!
