How come they say your sew piece should be 4.25" instead of 4.5"?
Math is not always my friend!

Jenny, the one who did the video, said it would be 4-1/4" but this is not correct. I just went by what she said without thinking about it when I typed the instructions up. You are right - the new piece comes out to 4-1/2". :wink:
Thanks for the well written directions. I just tried it and it works perfectly if you forget about that 4 1/4" cut that was a mistake on the video. You could be a pattern writer!
