Practice makes perfect. Or at the very least, practice makes
for fewer imperfections. I made two more Good Luck blocks yesterday, and they
gave me much less trouble than the first one. I was afraid to try strip piecing
methods with yesterday’s block. I wasn’t sure I had enough fabric to get away
with it. When I was done I realized there were plenty of scraps left over. So I
was much less stingy with the next two blocks. But I believe the thing that
made the biggest difference was that I reversed the way I fed my sewing
machine. Instead of stitching with the solid fabric on the bottom and the
pieced sections on top, I did it the other way around. I guessed that the
bottom fabric was moving just a hair faster, and as it turns out, I was right.
Look at me! I’m making my own luck!
