Hi Ninnie
So you mark off a quarter inch from the edge of the area you are working on so it is all even? Sorry don't mean to sound ignorant I just want to make sure I do this right lol

Yes, the reason you mark 1/4 in. in is to miss the seam allowance, it is easier to quilt that way. Here are picturs of one marked with tape, but not yet quilted. You can see that I have quilted a flower pattern in the center, and now will quilt the 1/4 in around it. I am by no means a perfect hand quilter. but it is my chosen way to quilt. :-D
