The more cuts the wonkier things can become. I square the blocks up in the end....so no worries.MariQuiltshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07024634370648175612noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5805537764081475169.post-85044153448681406172017-03-05T14:25:54.022-07:002017-03-05T14:25:54.022-07:00Hi Marianne,

I'm experienced with curves, followed your wonderful instructions, watched the video tutorial... I've tried to sew three first-cut seams and so far, the concave piece is extending nearly an inch beyond the edge of the convex piece. What am I doing wrong?

You're not doing anything wrong. With this technique, the seam allowance has not been factored in. The more cuts you do the more distortion starts to happen.....which is all taken care of once the block is pieced, with some starch and steam to flatten things out and once that's done the block gets squared up.<br /><br />In Leanne's video she was probably piecing a block that had the seam worked in as when you cut the blocks using templates, special rulers or the Go Cutter. Things usually line up more precisely in that case.<br /><br />Hopefully this helps. Have fun!!MariQuiltshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07024634370648175612noreply@blogger.com
