Thanks for that kind comment, Jane! I'm so glad you're finding some useful ideas to use. With me, it's WYSIWYG - (what you see is what you get!) - and there's no changing that! There are a few folks I've scared off but overall I couldn't ask for a better group of quilters to engage with. I sure appreciate you following along! Happy Quilting, Lea Louise

I keep missing the info when I replay the video ... What is the dimensions of the FQ that you trim your fabric to in order to get the markings to line up easily ... I realize these are 5 inch sections

15x20 (3 by 4 rows)

@InspiredQuiltingbyLeaLouise

Good question, Anna! My fat quarters are cut to 15" x 20" which gives me 3 squares by 4 squares for a total of 12 squares measuring 5-inches each. After they are sewn and cut, each one is trimmed to 4.5-inches and they finish at 4-inches. It works great for making lots of HSTs at once! Thanks so much for watching! Have a great New Year and Happy Quilting, Lea Louise

My problem comes when trying to sew through all the material in the corners, even though I press my seams open.

@InspiredQuiltingbyLeaLouise

7 ай бұрын

It can definitely take some practice, Jan. There's a lot of fabric in the corners. Try pinning the seams in place so they stay where you want them. Use a new, sharp needle so it doesn't drag or have difficulty going through. You might even try the next size larger needle as it may go through a bit easier. Then sew slowly using your left hand to guide the fabric and keep it moving. I some times use the point of my seam ripper or a stiletto in my right hand to help move that side along as well. This should help at least a bit. I hope this helps. Have a great New Year and Happy Quilting, Lea Louise
