Helen. Can you explain how you put the 9 patches together and they need trimming? Have I missed something important? I’m confused
TammyW, You have not missed anything. I am sorry if I confused you. When I started, back in Jan. 2020, I made a small sample batch of little nine patches, and several were
about 1/16 off matching at intersections. I was frustrated so I decided to find a more accurate way of doing it. I have the book , Mini Mosaics by Paula Doyle and knew that
would work for the process, giving me exact point matches, much like paper piecing. It takes longer and uses fusible interfacing, much like paper piecing uses foundation papers.
When there was a request on the forum on how to trim the applique blocks to size, I knew I had used that template on both the applique and double nine patch, so that is why
I inserted the photo. I did not have an applique that needed trimming at the time, and I did have that 9 patch. HelenW
