I have never alternated my strips and have never had a problem.
I have an ironing board with measurements on it and just line up the strip on the line to make sure it is straight before I iron it. Press dont iron. Set your seams first. I like using the small travel iron also, its not so heavy and dosnt stretch the fabric. |

I was taught to alternate them - to be on the safe side just unpick every other one - you will never be quite confident about it if you don't... and that is the correct way... I learnt this in a bargello class...

I really don't think there is a right way or a wrong way. Everyone has what works well for them.
Some people alternate strips, while others don't. Some people use quilters safety pins, others use just straight pins. Some use a walking foot, others don't. I think it's just what works best for each individual. Not saying to NOT try the suggestions, but don't always discount them as being wrong. |
when my strips get "womperjawed" it's usually because I'm stretching one or the other.
|
BTW, if your strips are selvage to selvage to be cut to size later, they will not all be the same length, I always start at the same end , it just seems like less waste when you cut the selvage off it's even at least on one end.

Don't want to get into an argument, but I wouldl like to see the work, that has not been sewn alternately, hanging on a wall.... to see if it hangs straight... !!!

joy, my mystery runner is one:))I only sew one direction...don't ask me why....I just do:))I never knew or even thought to run different directions..makes sense though and maybe if I had sewed many, it would have moved on me or something....I think anything is possible..espec. for me:))Skeat
