Marti a stitch in the ditch foot is much like a 1/4 foot . It has a guide just like the 1/4 foot but it’s aligned with the center needle . I hope this answer your question

I saw the youtube video today about making the first blocks. I noticed that a difficult part could be placing the triangles in the correct spot so the fabric, once sewn would completely cover the area needed. I was thinking surgaridoo's little handmade tool for doing stitch and flip blocks might help. I hope it helps some of you. :)

thanks so much for posting this photo. I had been wondering what livelier house fabrics would look like. This may change what I do in that I'll think about "peppering" some livelier ones with my solids. Appreciated seeing the background you used with the busier houses as well. It's going to look great!
