I’ve been sewing long enough that I don’t really think much about the actual mechanics of line up the fabric – lower the pressure foot – back stitch etc. Until I look down and think “huh”
There’s something strange about discovering something that you yourself have been doing – like the fact that I never realized I line up my HST blocks on the opposite side of my presser foot from every other seam I sew. Anyone else ever have these moments? Or is it just me?
Yep, that’s the way I do my HST’s too – maybe it is something about that center line. I always try to put the smallest amount of fabric to the right of the presser foot.
It never occurred to me that I do them differently than other seams :) Thanks for pointing it out – I’ll have to pay more attention and see if I do anything else strange I haven’t noticed!
