Long Seams Should Be Straight

I don't sew long seams. I sew my blocks into fours and then the fours into eights. The block seams always match that way and the quilt comes out squarer overall. I only have one long seam in the whole quilt and that's to sew the top and bottom halves together.

when all else fails draw your stitching line. sometimes it is easier to follow a drawn straight line; but you still need to alternate directions to keep from getting the curve.
sometimes no matter how careful i am until i grab a pencil and draw that line i just can not get it right.
