How to lock a quilt, so you can sew?

(Not so) short answer: After you click on the block, which was a cutting mat and place a square with diagonal lines in the block. The rule must be at least as large as the block. Find the midpoint of the correct block size. By example, if the finished block is 12 "unfinished block should be 12 1 / 2". The focus would be 6 1 / 4 "each board. Mark this point in his rule (a dry erase or wet erase marker works well for this). Place this in the middle of your block. Use diagonal lines and lines with your ruler to place correctly. Look at the edges. Is this something that comes out of the last board Sovereign? Can I safely leave it will still not cut a seam 1 / 4? Does it make you cut into the seam allowance? Evaluate four sides. If everything looks good, use a rotary cutter to cut both ends exposed. Turn the block halfway and place of the rule for the game straight lines of the edges you just cut to size. (In this example, the lines should be 12 1 / 2 "in both directions.) Cut the other two sides. Special rules may block a little easier to square. (Very slightly) long (ER) Answer: If you want neat, apples, you have to work throughout the process construction. Cut fabric accurately. Measure the outside lines, not the center or inside. Only Thing 1 / 4 "seams. Make a several layers of tape guide blue paint stuck in the bed of your machine. Butt against the fabric in the seam to keep the size of the seams straight and good. Plaza to each section of the block as complete it, and before sewing the next section of the block. If you make half square triangle units, cutting the pieces a little larger than the model application (Eg, 1 / 4 "). The assembly, press, then cut the right size. It takes a little longer, but accuracy is worth it. If you make a block it has points, and points are too close to the edge, the square block will not solve the problems – always closed to sew the blocks together. It is necessary to work on accuracy every step. However, if you're willing to put aside the rules a bit, try some of wonky "or" caveman "style quilting or others like them. Instead of making any precision what freewheel. Make a block of wood cabin? Cut the strips that are wide at one end and close to each other. Do a sawtooth star deliberately break points in one hand and the floaters on the other.
