Hello,
I've started piecing some of the 6" blocks in Lori Holt's Farm Girl Vintage book.
I am happy that I have my 1/4 in just right and with squares and rectangles I am getting the sizes right.
Where I am getting it wrong is when I have to place a small square in the corner of a larger square (or rectangle) and sew across the small square from corner to corner (in order to add a triangle to the corner of the larger piece of material). No matter what I do, when I fold back that small square it is off from the larger fabric, i.e. I'm not getting a perfect 90 degree angle. I am drawing on the line first and sewing right on the line.
Has anyone got any advice for me or pointers for where I am going wrong. I'm not out too much but enough to mess up the block.
p.s. I am starching and pressing (not ironing) my fabric before I cut it and I am using a dry iron.
I want to be having fun but this is getting me down
