You said you ended up adding an additional line on the pattern using the template that comes with the pattern. You flip the template over and trace the line again so that it looks mirror image, and just make sure you match the squares back sides together with the lines matching up the same on each side.
My question is this ..
when I fold the square together matching up the lines does this form a kind of a "V" shape where the lines are matched up. Is that right?
I just can not get this pattern to turn out looking right. I have never had such a problem. Thank you for you tips
I'm not sure I understand what you mean by "fold the square together" Hopefully this will help? First you sew two squares into twosomes, (two squares back to back,) then start sewing those together. If you look at this picture you will see that on the left is a group of four already attached. On the right is another twosie I'm ready to add to the last square on the right of the bigger piece. You can also see that extra line I draw to be sure I'm matching correctly. Can you see the clip holding them together? The smaller points on the squares are at the top, and the wider bigger points at the bottom? I use the clip to hold them together until I get it under the needle.
