Learned an Important Lesson.

Happily at home for a few weeks and busy with lots of projects.  I even have been able to work on quilting my own quilts for the booth and for, hopefully, competition.

Yesterday I continued work on the super secret quilt and I was trying to work out how to get perfect points.  I had been pinning well but it still seemed that the points would shift and I was having to unpick and adjust all the time.

So I decided to take the extra time to baste the seams.  I used a pin to line up the points exactly then I basted through that pin hole.  Then when I sewed the seam I sewed a thread distance from the basting thread.  Yeah - perfect points.  I have pictures but I have to work out how to get them on here!

The lesson learned from all of this is slow down, take your time, enjoy the process and get those points absolutely perfect.

Ok - off to learn some more lessons today and discover something new.
