yes, it was! I am one of those dial uppers :mrgreen:
also, butterflywing has a thread with a link, which she put here, and it will give you pictures.
Does either of these methods waste fabric?

Thank you, butterflywing, for posting that thread w/that link for those who are visual learners and prefer the pics.

Thank you, quiltncrazy, I haven't tried it yet, but I think personally very little fabric is wasted w/this method. You're taking the ruler all the way down the whole strip so there is only waste at the very end if it doesn't come out even. Essentially, these are not two different methods but one and the same method. As a side note, the pics above in that link show two dbls put together one on top of another. The video shows a single sewn on top of a sewn pair. Others have done an Amish version of several strips sewn tog along with the single piece that gives a whole different look. This is an appealing "sew first, cut later" concept that is very effective so you are not limited to sewing just like the video explained but try different combinations of fabrics placed tog. Hope this is helpful to you and others. Have fun w/this method. 8) 8)

Thank you so much for the tutorials, now I can see what is expected of me :roll: Looks like so much fun, hope I don't lose my points :D

Thank you n2scraplvr and butterflywing, truly appreciate this info and see that there are many of us still on dial up. :shock:

you're welcome and yes. you can use this method with one or any number of strips. it will always work as long as the top layer and the bottom layer are the same width across (not length).
