All of my seams are going the right way, but I just can't seem to get them all butted correctly. Could be because I've been sewing most of the day, so my visions probably a bit crazy....but is there a secret to these? I thought small would be good, maybe not so much.
Thanks!
Are you reversing the direction as you sew the strips? Sew the first 2 together, than when adding the 3rd one start from the bottom of the other 2. Keep reversing your sewing direction until you have sewed all 6 together. Clear as mud? Your strip set will be straighter.
