Welcome!! Welcome!!

We are happy to see you. Points!! I've been quilting since the early 1980s & I still have trouble with some points. I just did some flying geese & some of the points didn't meet. I find a thin pin through the tip of one point then into the tip of the other point helps line them up. I then pin it to hold it together.

What are you working on? Tell us all!

Hi and welcome to the group. I decided years ago that only God can make things perfect. I get them the best I can and live with it. Yes, people don't see the mistakes unless you point them out. They are too busy admiring the beautiful creation that you put so much time and work into. Relax and enjoy the process and welcome to the group.
