Ladies, please forgive me. This is my first Boomerang and I didn't click "watch" or "bookmark" so I didn't know you were posting these beautiful blocks or that I was supposed to also post as the F8's came in and I sent blocks out. I wondered what a "grown-up" was when one of you referred to that on my block! I'll get better at this and I'll post all info and photos of blocks later today.
Be gentle with me... it's my first time! |

When you are sewing and come to the end make sure that your fabric is following a straight line. Use a stileto to guide it through. That very end point can make a huge difference in matching seams. At times I found I was veering off to the left. Pressing is very important..press, don't iron. Ironing can cause your fabric to stretch out of shape..again causing seams to not match. Some don't starch..I always do. It makes your fabric more stable.
I hope this helps you. Your blocks look great..keep up the good work. Peace and Blessings, |
Sorry, I don't yet know your avatars and have only made note of this by your real names. So far I've sent blocks out to the following people:
Jami Perkins Judy Impellizzeri Linda Mosbacker Karen Patrick Lisa Tennant Jean Allen Judy Brownd Patty Self |
I rip out twice - the third time is often the charm.
