I am amazed at the precision in your sewing. How do you do that? I'm making a quilt right now with alternating nine patch blocks. I'm having a really difficult time keeping the strips the exact same width and the blocks precisely 9.5 X 9.5 after sewing the strips, cutting, and sewing into blocks. I have tried every imaginable trick but still come up anywere from 1/8 to 1/4 inch off. Suggestions?

Did I forget to say that the seam ripper is my best friend? I am very picky on have seams match, there are a couple of blocks in those that aren't perfect but isn't that what makes it handcrafted? I use starch to keep the fabric stiff so it doesn't warp out of shape as much and that seems to work for me. Thank you for all your kind words, keep it coming I need all the encouragement I can get, LOL.
