I like the wing clipper technique but would like the end unit to be a little bigger so I can trim it down cuz mine are never the exact size. Going to give it a try!Kathyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04542316557930857074noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33029276.post-50367586249637885112011-04-19T06:38:35.604-04:002011-04-19T06:38:35.604-04:00Definitely agree with the starching part!

And I like to use the 'no-waste' method for making geese - no special rulers needed. My tip for making either of these - starch and press your fabrics before cutting - you will get less 'stretching' of the bias edges giving you more accurate piecing.Vroomans' Quiltshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07258050499246235109noreply@blogger.com
