Around 2000 I made a pp string quilt. It required Y seams and when I started to put the quilt blocks together I was unhappy with the results. So I put it away. In 2002 I was on the computer and saw a video or read someones tutorial on Y seams. Her first comment was to not backstitch at the "v" Always start at the outside edge of the seam and sew toward the v. At the v turn the fabric and take a couple of stitches. DO NOT BACKSTITCH! Also, pin at the exact 1/4 inch spot you want to stop your stitching. I tried her method and was able to finish the block and the quilt. Sorry about the picture. Cannot seem to get a larger picture to upload.

This quilt was quilted on a Artistic SD with golden thread paper and a pantograph from Urban Elementz.
