Hello All,
I need help in explaining what I need to increase my cuts for a 1/2 in seams.
You see, Every quilt I have made in the last 2 years (using the 1/4 inch seam allowance has become unstitched.

I have used 1/2 inch seams before I joined any quilting groups and learned that Quilts should be made using 1/4 inch seams.

When I complete my quilt, I tack it every few inches to keep it together.

If I am making a 4 inch block using half square triangles do I increase my cuts to be 1/2 inch larger than the instructions call for?

Can someone please shed some light?
Thanks in advance, Laura A in Brick, NJ
