I will have to try this - great idea.
|
I use my GO cutter to cut my squares. They are cut perfectly, and they sew together perfectly. I recently did a king size 9 patch, and all my 9 patch blocks turned out perfectly. I had 450 squares to sew together. Not a hitch in any of them.

You might try starching to see if that helps.

I just match the center seams and adjust anything necessary on the outside. Of course, I don't do any complicated stuff...LOL

When I learned to quilt I was taught there was a side of the fabric that had some give and the other side didn't. As long as I match up the sides I have no problems and the small amount of streth allows one to "fudge" a bit.

I finally wised up and started pinning in the center seam. As Eleanor Burns says "looking good" when its a perfect match

I don't use alot of pins when I am quilting however when it comes to matching seams I always stick a pin in right at the intersection. A dot of glue and a tap from the iron is great for holding these seams together also. This way you know your seams are not going to budge while your sewing.
