I'm so impressed!
I never really thought that sewing the seams in opposite directions could make such a difference, but seeing it compared here, was very eye opening! It is amazing how much the piecing was affected!
I promise never to take the expertise and wisdom of the board members, with a grain of salt, ever!!!!
I was going to add in that I starch very heavily, especially when I will be working with smaller pieces.
I have used glue too, but right after pressing the glue, you must stitch and you need to press again and open it up right away or the glue will stick beyond the seam and could damage your fabric. You can check out the process by looking up a Sharon Schamber video on binding.
