Good morning!
I need some help. (teehee!)
I'm working on a d9p and while sewing my 9 patches together, I'm using Izy's easy intersection tutorial (from this forum) to chain stitch them together. It's really great... in theory, and I've been fairly successful- but here is my problem: I can't seem to butt the squares close enough together to make the chainstitching 'worthwhile' in a sense. I can get them close, but not close enough where it holds them perfectly in place.
Maybe I'm just being really retentive. They're not bad, but they're just not PERFECT, and it's driving me crazy because I KNOW I can do better...
I've been measuring and squaring up and measuring and double-checking and everything- and I can't seem to get it right. I'm ironing to the side (which I've thought about ironing seams open, but I need a different iron, or asbestos fingers... neither of which I have at the moment), and I'm still not lining up.
So! Any suggestions? any other tricks or tips that you're willing to share so I don't go crazy?!
Thank you!!!
