Been busy with "life" today! So am just checking in. But wanted to share a tip that my mother in law pointed out when I was telling her about this post.
She thought it was an excellent idea to glue baste and laughed because she had never thought of it in all of her years of sewing. Then she said, "Would that not have saved me a lot of time and stress when working with Plaids! All, I would have had to do is put a dot of glue on those matching lines and not had to mess with all the slipping and ripping seams to get them to match up. This is a brilliant idea!"
She is so right, when you work with any type of material that you want those sections to line up perfectly, dab a bit of glue and get those pesky sections to stay right together!
