Hi...I've done PP before and I like it, but this one has really driven me crazy too. My tip first of all is to use tape when you have to rip out a seam. Then, just be patient.

I finally did get my church done, but this was really a challenge. Hang in there!

Happy Quilting,
Debbie

Try long stitches to check to see if its right, then sew over with the short stitches. This little block was pretty challenging I thought, but you'll get it!

Suzi Q I found that that worked quite well,,, if you needed to take out any stitches it was much easier!! Good tip to have passed on.
