Quilt in a Day Forums

I think I am brain dead because I can't seem to understand Eleanor's instructions on the center seam of the pinwheel. I read the instructions on the Merry Go Round Pinwheel pattern on how to treat the center joining seam to keep it from puckering, but for the life of me, I can't understand how it's done. I have seen Eleanor Burns do it either on TV or one of her video's, and it seemed so simple, but that was a while ago, and this is now. I think I am just a visual person and need to see it done. Any advise or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

My rookie advice, to center puckering..1st try by hand to visually grasp the idea..I had that problem with pinwheel at 1st till instructor, suggested sew from ctr out seam, eliminating most of pucker. Try it! It might work, like say only rookie advice.
