So how are these put together? I mean.. if they are small and you use a 1/4" seam how is that going to work.. don't they need to be turned under so they won't unravel? I know lots of questions sorry... thanks ladies
check this String Piecing on adding machine paper
It is much easier using a foundation for those little strips of fabric and thy don t have to be perfectly straight because you just trim the sides when your done...the worst part is removing the paper lol but I enjoy doing it
