    Oooh I wish I had known about the corner pop tool when I was making Elephant Stomp last week. I had to snowball a 1”x3” rectangle with a 1” square. Not much room for error. I ended up using a dot of glue to keep the small square behaving under the needle. Thanks for the info.

    I like to cut a little bigger and trim. So much easier for me. There is always some waste somewhere.

    A quilt teacher taught me to start a couple stitches on the line then ver off slightly on the side of the corner of block sew and just be fore the last stitches sew back on the line this give a little more when you fold it back and square up.

    I find die cut blocks make it easy.
