| James shared a "nightmare 1/4 inch seam story. On his very first quilt the 1/4 seams were not accurate. Blocks ranged in size from 11 inches to 13 1/4 inches! Good pal Vanessa ripped it apart for him and he re did it to come up with this result. He also promptly went out and bought a better sewing machine. |
 |
| Diane shared her favorite pressing bar tool. When using this tool it is very easy to flatten the seams open for better accuracy. |
 |
| Janell shared different gadgets quilters can use to ensure an accurate 1/4 inch seam |
