suehenyon OFFLINE Posts: 1796 Thank you received: 51	Thanks, Margo. That's what I thought, but figured I'd better check. I also figured that if the middle strips are cut properly, we make sure the pieced strips fit.

Margo OFFLINE Posts: 6522 Thank you received: 129	Susan, if you paper-pieced your units they should be exactly the right size when you trim the cutting edge before you remove the paper. No blocking necessary!

suehenyon OFFLINE Posts: 1796 Thank you received: 51	speaking of joining sections, are ya'll blocking each strip before sewing to the center strip, as suggested in the Month 1 directions? Dang, I thought I was almost done month one but maybe not.

lynberchtold OFFLINE Posts: 1	I went back and watched episode 602 with Carole Doak. Her tips were wonderful and worth watching. The best tip I got was about joining sections. She suggested that you machine baste and check if your points match, saved me a lot of time picking out stitches.

Hey Margo, I reckon that you could use the Cutting edge strips to make your own Add-a-quarter or eighth ruler as well

Just been looking for their availability in UK and found them here http://www.creativegrids.com/acatalog/info_TCE001.html and since the strips are 3/8" wide, I can have a go at cutting one down to give me the the 1/4" & 1/8" for the add-a bit rulers (I also have a retired 6" x 12" ruler - the markings have all but gone - that I could get DH to cut in two for a couple of dedicated rulers for the job too, at half the price and re-cycling something I already have.

)

Elaine53 OFFLINE Posts: 25	Margo, thank you all your great videos and quick responses to our comments! I'm almost finished with this months sashings, bit will try the freezer paper method for next month.. My local quilt shop has 8.5x11 freezer paper ready for my printer. I might just splurge and save myself some prep work.
