Jan, you are always a great help. I do that but did not know the term. Yes, I always cut setting triangles a bit large because trimming is less toil than being exact.
|
Never heard it called "floating" before, but have used the technique cuz I figure it looks better to have a floating point than a cut-off point, especially if it's just a teensy bit of a float. I will have to remember that term. It will make me sound smart, anyway!
|
I've heard the term often. Thanks BigSister and Jan. for the demo and explanation. This board is the best.

Jan, thank you so much. That was most helpful.

You can use the same idea when setting a quilt "on point" by cutting the setting triangles larger than needed and trimming a bit after the whole top is sewn together. Leave enough 'extra' to allow floating of the design. Jan in VA |
Nice to know someone understands we visual learners NEED a picture to fully "get" it.<:

Awesome, Jan! You helped me learn one new thing for today!
