Tiny Tips for Perfect Piecing
My first tip starts at the very beginning and may sound really
 basic, careful cutting and a perfect 1/4" seam are essential.
When piecing with small pieces there is not much room for
what I like to call fudge factor. Your cutting must be spot on!
Next check your seam allowance. Using a scrap of fabric sew
a test seam. Use your ruler and measure, your stitch line must
be right on the 1/4" line. If you off a little in either direction
your block will not come out the correct size. Check back
next week for another Tiny Tip for Perfect Piecing.
