Your explanations and pictures are great! I have one suggestion on the feeding of pieces through the machine when you have seams butted up as in picture 12. If you put the pieces through the presser foot with the loose edge of the seam going through first on the top piece, rather than on the bottom piece, your machine will actually push the pieces together even tighter than you can hold them with your finger, leading to a perfect match. :lol:

You're all very welcome :D . Been doing some work on the next block and I will have to make a change of plans. It's all got too big so will concentrate on putting some little triangles into our blocks this month and leave the split 9 Patch untill next time. Hope y'all are having a great month
Cheers
