I know I do it and always catch myself falling into the habit. Chain stitching a leader or ender helps keep me "in line". Your blocks look great to me...
Thanks, every now and then I have the swing out at the end, but the main reason for the error is my seam guide moves, my machine is from the 50's and I tape a credit card to the plate and sometimes it shifts. I just need to check it more often.
