Paper piecing question
I just started a real pretty paper pieced Lily of the valley today. All went well until I got to two pieces saying 3a and 3b (just an example). In between those two pieces are a = symbol. I know this does not mean equal. I went and traced those two tiny pieces, sewed them together but I guess I am doing something wrong in reversing. Question: what does = stand for???? There are maybe only 4 piece section like this in my project.
I have paper pieced a lot. This is the first time I encountered this.

well, reverse is right. i just don't know what else though. I suggest reading and reading again and maybe it will jump out at you. or someone who does much more PP than i do will help with a suggestion.

I do a lot of PPing and to date have never seen that , so without seeing the actual pattern I do not think I have a good answer for you. Was it a free download or was it something that you purchased?
If it was a free download please post a link - if it was a purchased pattern, I would go back to the creator and ask the question to them.
Good luck!!

It might mean that these two pieces get sewn together before being sewn onto another piece. I have seen this before but without seeing the pattern I don't want to sound positive about it. If you could post a picture or link it would be very helpful.

Ok I got my answer. Ube quilting you are the winner.
Those two pieces are sewn together before piecing into block. I contacted the designer SilverLiningsOriginals.com. She has some beautiful designs. I am working on the Lily of the valley. It will not be my last one.
Thank you everyone.

That had crossed my mind but not having the pattern in front of me I would not have ventured a guess. Hopefully you will post a picture when you have finished it!!!
