[@themelodyofsewing6369]

Good day! My large rug is 34 inches. It is not necessary to buy such a large rug, because it is expensive. You can take less. My first cutting mat was 23 inches. The most needed mat for trimming 16 inch. and two more rulers: one 60 cm, the other 12 inches. By the way, it is more convenient to have two rulers: one longer, the other shorter.

I love this scrappy pattern. Thank you But are you sure you gave the right measurements? My block not 7 1/4 on the end😔 I think we need for this pattern 1 1/4 “ strips You gave 1” to make the block.

[@themelodyofsewing6369]

Don't even know. But I sewed and took measurements in real time on camera. Now I don’t remember. I don't know, maybe I was wrong...

The only way I could get this square to work was by using a 3 inch centre square and the finished block measured 7 inches

[@themelodyofsewing6369]

I sewed and measured all the details in real time.

[@wilmasmith3974]

@ I don’t doubt you, it’s me that can’t do it!

[@GrandmaPatty49]

I’ve tried several times, but after sewing the 2.5” square onto the first 5.5” piece, the second piece is too short for sewing on.

[@themelodyofsewing6369]

We cut the pieces to a length of 5 inches. And sew with a 1/4 inch seam allowance.

[@GrandmaPatty49]

@@themelodyofsewing6369after I trimmed all to 5”, it still doesn’t work.

[@SusanKeong]

It’s lovely but what is it? There was no communication.

[@themelodyofsewing6369]

You can use these patchwork blocks to make whatever you want. I made a table topper. And, unfortunately, I speak English very poorly, sorry.

[@CynithiaHenning]

I was always told never to cut towards myself. 😢

[@lesa6399]

I think we’ve all learned to cut away from ourselves but there are exceptions to every rule! For some I think it’s like trying to force a left-hander to become right-handed…

[@hugg724]

You were taught right. Cutting towards yourself is very dangerous and one can easily get their hands cut with a simple slip. It only takes one slip to do some damage!

[@themelodyofsewing6369]

What you were told was absolutely correct, but I physically cannot cut it any other way.

[@themelodyofsewing6369]

Thank you for your understanding and support!

[@themelodyofsewing6369]

@@hugg724 They taught me correctly, but now I can only cut like this. I just have a damaged tendon, and PHYSICALLY I can’t cut other way.

[@hadleywooten3689]

Y seems are not beginner friendly

[@deannaosmer6098]

This is not a "Y" seam. This is known as a partial seam. And very well demonstrated, at that. Not hard at all just different. But gives amazing results.

[@themelodyofsewing6369]

I did not understand your comment, the translator translated it incorrectly.

[@GrandmaPatty49]

I’ve given up on this pattern. The pieces do not fit in without stretching them to fit. Sorry, but it just doesn’t fit together like in your video. Don’t know what I may be doing wrong.

[@themelodyofsewing6369]

I’m not sure what might be happening on your end, but when ironing, it’s normal to stretch the piece a bit in width. I sewed everything on camera in real time, and it all came together for me. Maybe give it another try and see if that helps?❤

[@GrandmaPatty49]
