i never understood why, if you're adding 1/4's all over the place, you add 7/8 here. can anyone explain that in english? isn't it easier to make it a full 1" and then trim? not to mention that it's easier to see.

also, you talk about a 4" square made by adding that dratted 7/8. is this the same method used for making, say a seven and 1/2 " finished square? do you always add 7/8? i just go up to the next inch and shave off the extra.

well, technically, Butterflywing (I LOVE that name <g>), since one has to trim, anyway, adding the full inch probably does make more sense. Surely a more accurate measure would result. and, maybe the scraps would be big enough to put into a mini mystery or something <g>

:lol: :lol: if i ever did a mini-anything, it would definitely be a mystery :lol:

Yes, sorry I should have said :oops: I always add the full inch and trim. :D

great information on this thread, thanks
