I mark if sewing with my FW. I use the laser beam if sewing with my BL crescendo.
|
I have to mark it somehow --either with pencil, etc or by pressing in a crease/sew line---otherwise I end up having matching up problems later.
|
Yes! I always mark it. I saw this on Fons & Porter and they recommended marking it.

Am I just getting old?? Isn't this called snowballing??? No wonder blocks can have so many names.

I agree with this method. It is the way Jenny from MSQC shows to do it. It only takes a second to do this.

You can finger press the diagonal to get a sewing guide. Faster than actually marking it with a pen. I do it a lot with small bits. Sewing straight is helpful too. :0)

I don't like to rip! I find I do a whole lot less of it when I take time to mark things carefully than when I just decide to wing it. However, if you are accurate on other things without marking, give it a try.

I just eyeball it & I rarely have a problem. (Notice I said rarely, rather than never!)
|
You can also mark the bed of your sewing machine with a piece of painters tape. I find that helps also!!

Since I drive a sewing machine about the as straight as I do a car, (which is why I gave up my license), I draw nearly all my stitching lines with a #2 pencil on light sand paper. Works for me.
