I just went back and looked at the Zoom Quilt. Those points are certainly not lined up "perfectly". So what if they aren't On with the show...

As I was sewing/ripping/resewing my paper piecing to the center strips yesterday, I finally had to invoke the law of the universe taught to me by a colleague: better is the enemy of good. In my zeal to lime those points up "precisely" I was starting to make mincemeat out of my fabric. After that, my evening at the sewing machine was much more fun. Margo's picture makes me think that Pat and Sue must feel the same way! Thanks for the validation!

Margo OFFLINE Posts: 6522 Thank you received: 129	My assembled units are not perfect. My points are pretty good, but they don't all line up exactly opposite each other across the center bar. For what it's worth, I just saw the original quilt at the Ricky Tims' Super Seminar in Atlanta! Attachment {!-- ia1 -->Month 1 sashing.JPG{!-- ia1 --> not found

I learned of another way to do paper piecing!! Just use Ricky's Stable Stuff when you print the designs from the computer!
When the fabric is sewn on and the units trimmed, you DON'T NEED TO REMOVE THE PAPER!

Why didn't I think of that?? It's brilliant!

Get the Stable Stuff here: http://www.rickytims.com/online-store?page=shop.product_details&flypage=flypage.tpl&product_id=65&category_id=26

Now if it would just match these needle-sharp points on either side of the center strip, we'd really be in business!

Not me, I just retired. (I said that already, didn't i? ) Edit: Dixie, did it say Wahl mustache and sideburn trimmer? How much was it? The curious want to know.
