Either 2 clicks to the right to move the needle, or 2 fabric threads to the right of what a 1/4" would be.

A number of us here have noticed that to get a 12 1/2" unfinished block using Quilters Cache patterns, we must use a scant 1/4".

I like to test out a block. If it has 4 components, I will sew them and then measure to see if they are correct, if not, then I adjust my seams accordingly, before assembling the rest of the block. Older patterns seem to like a full 1/4" newer ones a scant :roll: but sashing and other parts that aren't pieced, are based on the pieced blocks being the correct size :wink:
