Sewing along a cut edge or sewing along a drawn line
I can sew along a cut edge and - usually - the piece turns out okay.
For reasons I have not been able to figure out - yet - when I sew along a drawn line - my piece ends up skimpy.
I think part of the reason for that - when I cut pieces out individually (with a rotary cutter) - they are a smidge larger than the "designated size" -
Anyone else have this problem?

I don't think I do, but now you're making me wonder and want to test it out and see!
Although...I can't think of when I would sew along a drawn line (for piecing) unless I'm doing HST, and I make those oversize and trim down. So maybe I do have the same issue but I never notice because I do everything a little larger to start out.
