Hi Cyndi H, When working with blocks/pieces that have alot of biased sides- starch your fabric heavily BEFORE you even cut the pieces out-then PRESS your fabric. There is a difference between ironing and pressing.Starching helps to keep the fabric from stretching. line up the seam ends first and then PIN across the seam not with it then pin the center of the piece, The pins keep the fabric from sliding and shifting as you sew it.
