Is it better to sew your blocks with a scant 1/4 inch seam all the time, or do I sew a regular 1/4 inch seam?

As long as ALL your seams are the same, it shouldn't make much difference, however, I usually stick to the standard 1/4 in seam UNLESS the directions specify "scant"

Hello and Welcome to the board :D:D:D

I start out with a scant 1/4" and when I get a quadrant of the block done, I measure it to see if I am right on, or need to adjust to a 1/4" seam :D:D:D

Welcome from Louisiana. I use a scant most of the time:)

My foot for my machine is a scant so I always use it.

this sounds like a dumb question but what is a scant 1/4" is that just a little bit more.

Its approx one thread less than a 1/4.

Welcome :-) I use 1/4" unless it specifies.
