Did I miss something? (Tube blocks)
#1
I just watched the tutorial video for the tube block. In it, she says start with 2.5" strips, sew together with a 1/4" seam, press, and then sew it into a tube with a 4 1/4" strip...but if my math serves me correctly...shouldn't it be 4.5"? I haven't tried this method yet...but 2.5+2.5=5....5-1/2"(two 1/4" lost in the seam)=4.5...no?
Please enlighten me...

Well, I guess that is why I always measure before I cut my strips, but I am with you, I am not sure why it wouldn't come out to 4.5.

For the bias, strips lift the iron to move it around rather than pushing when you press anything bias. Actually, I pretty much do that with all blocks before they are stitched together. I think spray starch would help, but don't push the iron. If they still don't behave, loosen the presser foot pressure if you can (I can't) or use your walking foot.
