The backing fabric hasn’t made it here yet. Not a problem as
I decided a test block and sashing needed to happen before I start layering and
machine quilting.
Take a look and you can see testing was a wise choice as the
block, as sewn, does not fill out the 12 ½” square-up quilting ruler (see
below). Using the edge of the Bernina 000 straight/zig-zag presser foot for a
seam guide wasn’t clever, especially when you consider that I’d read in more
than one place the importance of the scant ¼” quilting seam allowance…
Before I drop in on eBay for a proper quilting foot, I want
to try moving the needle from the center just a hair. Whatever method I end up
using, I need to get the block to 12 ½” before I move forward. Otherwise,
those sashing pieces aren’t going to fit…
