Moda Cupcake Mix Recipes
Have you seen the new Moda Cupcake Mix Recipes? They have a layer cake version and a charm square version. How to describe it, well it is preprinted papers that you layer on top of fabrics, sew on the lines, then cut them out and piece them together. The sewing part was easy, but the cutting is so tedious. You sew on the dotted lines and cut on the solid lines, giving you accurate blocks.
It says to sew the blocks together with a scant 1/4" seam. I tried this but I can't seem to maintain an accurate scant 1/4" seam. My question is why can't i just use a 1/4" seam. Will it make a difference in piecing?
Also how to get the papers off without ripping out the seam? I did use a smaller stitch, and folded the paper and scored it, but it is still difficult to get the paper off. Any tips?
