Thank you, I have trouble with following row, I can get the first seam aligned, but then that next one is off, slips or whatever, but as careful as I can get, there are a few that are just a weeee bit off. No police here thank goodness.

What an awesome idea! Thanks for sharing.

Looks like some of us have questions..........
Fan intersecting seams??? Flip seams???? Clapper????? Having a duh moment here (again) Thanks! |
me too!

VERY GOOD IDEA. I SOMETIMES USE GLUE BUT LIKE YOUR IDEA BETTER

I remember being so thrilled to be given "permission" to pin seams, and now I have "permission" to flip seams! Wow! I love this place! Of course I found myself flipping seams when necessary, but always felt guilty about it!
Thanks for the tips! |
I was taught this tip from a seasoned quilter and it works very well. It saves on time and ripping if the seams are not aligned properly. Thanks for posting this!

i also do this as the seams are line up, i also dont iron my blocks until they are done. then press. i known they frown on this but who cares as long as my blocks look nice ShySally

I'll be trying this one :-D
