Thank you so much. This is the simplest way I have ever seen.

Moda Bake Shop has a "recipe" using that method -

Great tut oma..thank you for sharing this with us. I would have never thought of doing it this way!

A friend of mine told me about this at the hospital last week too. So it was great to hear that this really works. I had come home and tried one and called another friend who right away commented about whether it would stretch or not (Q.P. big time) and I told her I assumed it would since it was on the bias but that it went real fast and according to the lady who told me about it that the work went fast and she had no problem. I like the idea about starching so now I am going to tell my Q.P. friend (quilt police friend to the max) about the starch and I am going in today to cut lots of 9 1/2 inch squared for my scrappy quilt!!! Oh I love this idea!!!! Thanks for sharing all the ideas.

Sorry for being so dense. Never mind I found the math. Should read full thread before I ask questions. Sorry |
Thank you so much for the info

Joann's does carry "Mary Ellen's Best Press". I've seen it on the web site.

Thanks for the tutorial. I had never seen them made this way. Looks lots easier will be trying it soon.
