You cut your strips the same width the unfinished squares will end up. I started with 20cm squares, which gave me four strips. If I had made the squares a little bigger, maybe 21cm, I could have used the last corners as well.Vireyahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16464838238295059335noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6876943005305984410.post-67794363677686311612013-12-17T10:40:11.522+11:002013-12-17T10:40:11.522+11:00Great idea?

What I do is place a small post-it note (sticky side) right up to the needle, but not quite, and sew over this. The reason that those pesky bits get caught is the little ridge on a lot of machines, just before the needle and the post-it note makes a smooth path. BTW I also love your colours.Joy Vhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18370241122283127366noreply@blogger.com
