No matter what method you decide to use, the number one rule is to make sure your bobbin is full. It's amazing how big a pile of unstitched pieces can build up on the back side of the machine or the floor before you notice the mistake. Ask me how I know...

Thank you all for your responses. I have no idea what "Thangles" is, but will look it up. Since I'm working with strips, none of the grid/ square fabric ideas will work for this project, but I'll keep the ideas for other ones. It's frustrating that I can make flying geese with little or no trimming, but have yet to master a simple hst without having to trim. Practice, practice, practice!!!
