Fortunately, it was only a class -- but I did feel badly for the ladies who had problems. Frankly, I like doing Y seams. There is a bit of a challenge to getting them right.

Good thing we all have scrap fabrics that we have no use for except for testing.

I'm so GLAD to be at QB, when I hear others have a little trouble with something, I no longer feel "it's just me, and I'm stupid" THANKS for your information.

Thanks so much. That as you said is critical.:))

Maybe the scissor cutting time was better our society is just on a fast track and we might all be better if we slowed down and enjoyed life to its fullest in all aspects not just quilting

Shamrock twister
 

Hey Jen I just bought your shamrock twister pattern. I am in the process of making it. Thanks so much for designing it.

That's why you should use the same ruler for your quilts. I mean rulers made by the same manufacturer. I heard that one time in a class I took.

Oh, forgot to say. It also makes a difference if you put the desired line "on" the edge of the fabric or "right over" the edge of the fabric. People place their rulers in different places and sometimes we don't think it matters much but that is why sometimes when you do blocks swaps that the blocks are just a teeny bit off.

Good Point! I'm never sure where to line up my fabric.

thank you so much for giving us a heads up, you never know about these things and nobodies perfect

I believe this also, when they started coming out with all these gadgets, it seemed to get harder to cut triangles, or just straight, but i still use my scissors alot and not the rotary, sometimes i will use the rotary if i am making strips, then i go back to the scissors. People are in such a hurry to get things done and they want to do it the fastest they can and that is not always the best.
