Hi,
I hope someone can help, I am a newbie at quilting, so have been teaching myself on this wonderful craft. I have started one of Jenny's tuts where she uses the tube to create the double hourglass block.
All goes according to plan until it comes to putting the four blocks together. My seams aren't always nesting properly and I have to then hold down the bit to make it nest. Also, when the block is finished, I have some seams going one way and others going the other and I am sure that they should all lie flat.
Clearly, I am doing something wrong and probably not sewing them in the right order or something. (I sew small blocks 1,2,3,4 and then 1&2 to 3&4).
Would a pro quilter be able to help in getting flat blocks. Quilt so far looks good and will focus later on piecing those pieces together.
Thank you.
