New trick to me.

7 years ago

I was able to get some sewing time in this afternoon. I am making plain blocks with snowball corners as alternate blocks for a string quilt.

We always hear about sewing a second seam in that snowball and snipping between those seams to get bonus triangles. Wel, I have done that in the past but the new triangles are pretty wonky in size.

Today I sewed the first seam, then set my needle as far right as it would go, lined up the first seam with the left edge of the presser foot and sewed away. On my machine, it turns out to be exactly 1/2" away. So now I can cut right down the middle and each seam allowance is 1/4".

Feeling good!!
