All done w/my blocks - need to snap a few more pics but plan to mail on Friday if all goes well. The blocks that scared me the most were the Plaited Block and the Rick Rack block. Both turned out surprisingly well - was proud of myself or getting them all done w/no issues on final measurements. I am in love with my new machine - but also discovered what the problem was w/the blocks in my last boom. When I bought my new machine I left my old one off for service. When I picked it up the service guy said that the thread tension was all out of whack and totally inconsistent. That made me feel much better about my off size (by 1/4") blocks - as I had used the same thread/1/4" presser foot/and tension setting for all my blocks. He says she is good as new now but I haven't tried her out yet as I am still getting to know my new machine.
