I have a quilting problem that I would like some suggestions from other quilters. I have been out of quilting for a few months and have forgotten this important technique.
I can sew a consistent 1/4 inch seam when piecing. However when I come to the end of the seam it moves over on the last 2/3 stitches so it is less than 1/4 by just a smidge. This is not good when you are doing miniatures. Can anyone help?

I use a scrap piece at the end and sew right off onto it. I also use a stiletto to hold it steady as I go (smile).

I agree about stitching unto another little piece of fabric, or maybe a small piece of paper would do?
Sounds like you freeze in winter and fry in summer????My son in Houston says its 100 this week. Welcome to a really cool place.
