Okay Ladies, here's a tip I just learned from QNS. It's about reducing bulk when 8 seams meet at a point.. sew the seam from the outside to the center of the point stopping at the cross stitching line, back stitch or turn it around and make several stitches so the seam won't open.. do this to all the seams...trim the joining seams then sew together...tear the paper so that you can lay the seams flat in opposite directions and Voila! the center will twirl open... I am so tickled that it worked so I have to pass it on...Has anyone else been doing this with PPing?
