    Thanks for the tute and the explanation. I printed out all the remarks so I have it with me when I'm sewing. I kinda giggled when you quilters mentioned how much you use a seam ripper. Oh how unfeeling I was. I have ripped and resewed and reripped until I had to buy a new ripper. Thanks again

    Thanks for the tip. I have been doing the partial seam (just a thread width away from the point) in larger stitches then sewing proper sized stitches at exactly the right place. That way, if its wrong I can pull them easily. Usually works well.

    Sometimes I have found that I don't have 1/4" at the top to be able to get a perfect point. What did I do wrong?

    Also, how do you get your pinwheels so each seam matches in the middle??

    I have problems with that without quite a strugle and then it still doesn't work. I almost wear the fabric out with tearing out the stitches over and over.
