Instead, if a pattern calls for scant 1/4" seams, I have to cut my pieces a tad bit larger.

One other thing to take into account is the thickness of your thread that you are using to piece with. There is a huge difference between a 50 wt. thread and a 20 weight thread in the amount of space it takes up in the fold! Using thread meant for piecing (usually 50 wt) consistently means you will always KNOW Farm Quilterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01670652033638218941noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3629206884986270822.post-31052811061606999772017-07-20T10:04:32.615-07:002017-07-20T10:04:32.615-07:00Thanks for keeping it real Kelli!

And, yes, it was years before I knew the notch was there.
