When you think about how many decisions are made while free motion quilting, it boggles the mind. Do I want pebbles here or swirls? Should I fill in this space next or go over here? Turn right or go left? 🤔 You definitely need to take breaks!

Did you know there are two extra layers of fabric Did you know there are two extra layers of fabric in the point of flying geese made with the 4-at-a-time (no waste) method? The good news is it’s easy to fix!
.
➡️Draw a line from corner to corner where the two smaller squares overlap.
➡️Cut the top two layers on that line. ✂️
➡️Now the smaller squares will butt up against each other. Continue as you normally would.
➡️Do NOT trim the remaining small squares.
➡️Now you have 5 layers of fabric in the seam allowance at the FG point instead of 7! 😃
.
More photos and details are in today’s blog post (link in profile).
