Thanks for the tute cutibuns. I have sewn the Y seam by hand but never by machine. This just might be one that I sew by hand. I've never done reverse applique either. I have heard it is easy, just hope so.

You are all welcome, I will see if I can come up with the picture that was requested,
You can also do a combination of hand sewing and machine on it though as well, it will be interesting how everyone deals with it, though for those that never have done a Y seam, it is the same basically when doing it by hand as well, though easier to see when it is in your hand, especially when dealing with such small seams,

this is true, for those that have the speed control you can slow your machine right down, it is also some times easier to get the needle to go through exactly where you need it. that is very important for to get a point there.

What a freak I am.... as soon as I read that phrase everything just clicked into place, thank you!!
I have a hexagon WIP that I've been doing for over a year, it's all handpiecing and I tend to work on it when I want to sew but don't really want to think or concentrate, just handsew. So I've done millions (maybe not quite millions, but definitely lots) of Y seams! I didn't even realise.
And now that you've said that, I can "see" in my mind exactly how it goes. I was having trouble getting my head around it, but now it's crystal clear.
Funny how something that's obvious can be the difference! LOL
