It is not a problem. I am glad that it at least gives you the nudge to do it. Once you have it figured out, it it like breathing. So easy. I will look at anyone and everyones fabric that needs me to.

Awesome. Now the hard part Sharon. Lining up your six repeats as close as you can. Along the edge. Find an easy spot to recognize a tip of leaf or corner. Stick a pin through all the layers in exactly the same spot.

Oh, crap! Here I go......

Do this in several places along each side. If you are really careful, you can fully pin it. But you have to make sure that you don't shift your layers when poking them back up through.

ok, question umpteen:

pin along cut sides and both ends? pin in middle, too?

cutebuns 02-01-2010 04:52 PM

Just the edges. The middle should line up if the edges are matched. Some when printed are a little off so a tug here and there sometimes to make them lay flat. When cutting your strips you will be able to see if it is lined up along the way.

OK, off to get my silk pins and get the blues together.
