I am practicing foundation piecing on scrap material while I wait for my fabric to arrive. I am planning on doing a foundation pieced quilt for the first time.
On my practice block, I am running into an issue. I can make beautiful squares and rectangles, but when I go to sew them all together into a block, there is way too much material at the points and my machine is struggling to get over the "hump". I never ran into this with traditional piecing because we are instructed to press the seams in opposite directions. Is this just an issue that I have to learn to deal with when doing foundation piecing, or am I doing something wrong?
I'll attach some pics so you can see what I'm talking about.
