Why Does Using a "Spider" Work?
Why does using a "spider" or a "leader" work? I understand why it helps to start the fabric as you are starting in the middle of the leader, but you don't butt the pieces exactly, there is a little space so again the machine is starting in an empty space, so why does this work for chain piecing?
When I don't use it, my first piece gets chewed up of course, but I don't get why the second piece doesn't.
