paper piecing - where to stop sewing?
When paper piecing, do you sew past the sew line and into the seam allowance, or do you stop right on the sew line? (I hope that makes sense). It seems I have seen tutorials going both ways, and I wonder what are the advantages/disadvantages of each method. Thanks in advance.

In the middle of the block, I just go a few stitches past the seam line. On the edge pieces I often sew through to the edge of the seam allowance. Just habit. no idea if it helps anything.
