    I don't like sandwiching it all together. It is so frustrating to get everything to lay straight and flat.

    My leased favorite now is the cutting as it is very painful. I use a rotary cutter,but with a toner rotator cuff makes even that difficult.:)

    I hate straightening the fabric before cutting! I don't mind "squaring," but the extra effort to straighten the whole thing is a pain in the ... . I struggle with believing that it's necessary.

    Sashing is my least favorite; cutting out is my most favorite.

    I can relate to all that. I put cardboard extensions on my dining table.

    I enjoy all of it, but the hardest part is looking at all tne fabulous fabrics and deciding what to make!
