i'm going to try the regrouped center that i posted but i'm not sure that will really make a difference.
what i will be doing for sure, is a long running stitch first to make sure everything matches up first before i sew in the tiny stitches used for paper piecing.
sadly, i ripped the stitches out a few times and those tiny ones are a pain to rip out plus it made a mess of my paper.
LOL, thats when i knew it was time to call it "done" because my paper was falling apart in my hands from all the needle punches.
