Pat,
Hi from a former Texan, now living in VA. :-)

I created a tutorial for easy 1/4" seams that might make things easier for you. Check here...

This may sound crazy..but everytime I over think and over pin ..I mess up..when I cut.. piece and do everything.. by the seat of my pants it comes out all right !!

I used to have that problem and I was really pretty accurate on my 1/4" seam. I now use a scant 1/4" and everything fits together nicely. Just a suggestion, good luck :-D

Welcome from Michigan.:)

Hi from Ohio! See, your in with the right crowd.

Hello, Welcome from Josephine, Texas.

Welcome from Missouri! I've been quilting for 40 years and still can't get the points to match every time. But I sure have fun trying!!! I try to be very careful with the 1/4 seams, but fabric is going to stretch at times--- I just don't worry about it, I just enjoy the process, colors and patterns.

Welcome to the board. You will like it a lot.

Welcome from Minnesota and happy quilting :)
