and my block
This block does require precision when cutting and sewing.
1. When cutting, the line on your ruler should be on your fabric, not next to it. This ensures you get a full size piece to work with.
2. If you are cutting correctly, you should not have to do a scant 1/4 inch seam. To check the accuracy of your seam, sew 3 2 1/2 inch strips together along the long end (they don't need to be anymore than 6 inches long). Carefully press, then measure. It should measure 6 1/2 inches across. If not adjust your needle position until it does come out 6 1/2 inches.
Another color thread would have shown better.
3. The thickness of your thread can also affect the size of your block. I use Aurafil 50 wt which is thin but strong. There are many quality threads out there and each machine has it's preference.
4. Slow down the speed on your machine. Remember slow and steady wins the race!
