This creates an extra 1/4" margin so that you can sew your new edge without cutting off the tips.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7473428269886970702.post-42026931442391099392010-06-22T19:58:48.971-05:002010-06-22T19:58:48.971-05:00I can't offer any solution to the tips being c...I can't offer any solution to the tips being cut off. I've done a lot of that piecing but can't figure out why that would happen unless it has something to do with the small pieces. I've used much larger pieces. I'll have to do some thinking about it. <br /><br />Like the hexies for the next pincushion though. Bright and colorful.Debhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00792171420098351093noreply@blogger.com
