But after sewing I realized that the freshly cut fabric edges crept away from the paper edges in between the pins while I was sewing and of course I couldn’t see that it was happening because my fabric edges were hidden between a paper sandwich. That’s why I felt like, since my grain lines were all good, I might have been better of removing the papers so I could watch that the raw fabric edge stayed right along the edge of my ¼” presser foot throughout the entire seam.<br />Rebecca Gracehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14801489818836195754noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3816121512164080677.post-21195547663703840572016-02-26T11:11:17.755-05:002016-02-26T11:11:17.755-05:00Very nice!

What is you put a pin in from top to bottom just to line up your points or intersections and used clover clips rather than pins to hold the two pieces together?Paigehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09165119758309263620noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3816121512164080677.post-13798504352567209362016-02-26T09:39:51.529-05:002016-02-26T09:39:51.529-05:00I leave my paper in place generally until I sew th...I leave my paper in place generally until I sew the sections together: at that point I tear away enough paper so I can sew the seams without the paper being in the way! If necessary, I'll mark the seam allowances in pencil if I want to be extra accurate but usually the quarter inch foot is sufficient.verykerryberryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07485169920671733941noreply@blogger.com
