If only all problems in life could be solved as easily, even with caring help.

I don't have a "quilt" to show, I was trying to do table runners ... here they are. I've taken them apart so many times trying to fix them that the fabric frayed and I can't, so they are done and who cares LOL

I don't have a pic of them sewn together yet, because I still need to do the border (and need to get my machine back from the shop this weekend)

But what I was running into was the middle was being "chopped" so it looked like this in the middle:

I didn't even know that kind of perfection was possible!

That Feline Fanatic is just super. Your triangle points come together perfectly. Good job.

I found my problem! I wasn't using a scant 1/4 inch seam ... it was THAT easy!!!! And I have PERFECT triangle points!

I didn't have to pin / glue or anything ... wow ... the hardest problem, solved with the simplest solution!!!

And here's a picture to prove how easy it was ... this took me all of 3 minutes with some scrap fabric! LOL

I love using scant quarter inch seams but never knew there is a specific foot for it. My new Juki came with both a 1/4" and 1/5" foot and its totally awesome.
