warning about those triangle template rulers
#11
Fortunately, it was only a class -- but I did feel badly for the ladies who had problems. Frankly, I like doing Y seams. There is a bit of a challenge to getting them right.
Good thing we all have scrap fabrics that we have no use for except for testing.

Shamrock twister
Hey Jen I just bought your shamrock twister pattern. I am in the process of making it. Thanks so much for designing it.

Oh, forgot to say. It also makes a difference if you put the desired line "on" the edge of the fabric or "right over" the edge of the fabric. People place their rulers in different places and sometimes we don't think it matters much but that is why sometimes when you do blocks swaps that the blocks are just a teeny bit off.

I believe this also, when they started coming out with all these gadgets, it seemed to get harder to cut triangles, or just straight, but i still use my scissors alot and not the rotary, sometimes i will use the rotary if i am making strips, then i go back to the scissors. People are in such a hurry to get things done and they want to do it the fastest they can and that is not always the best.
