Trimming a 5" pieced square to 4" accurately
Hi! Searched for an answer to no avail. Help! This newbie to quilting is attempting a simple table runner, amazing the things one can learn quickly out of the gate!! To spite a couple of set backs my spirit and motivation remain intact!
My question...sewed a bisected 5" charm pack square ending up with squares consisting of 4 pieces...easy enough, pressed them and went on to the next step. The instruction reads, cut each square to 4 inches, that didn't seem like a problem until I layed the now 4 pieced charm square on the cutting mat. While not terribly off each square is not perfect which means in order to cut the square to 4" correctly each side of the pieced square may require a different amount trimmed off it. Question...please tell me there is a recommended way one might accomplish this!!
Appreciate in advance any mentoring you provide!
