I'd love to have someone help me out. I am just a beginner. I have done a couple quilt tops, and completed one lap quilt and one table runner. I get very frustrated though because my points/ corners never seem to line up right. I have a Singer Simple machine and an old Singer Fashion Mate 252 ( I can't figure out the tension on this one though- no owners manual came with it). I'd also like to venture into paper piecing and applique in the future, but I think I need to get my points and corners to match up before I go any further.
