I was talking to my father, a woodworker who understands a bit about tolerance, and mentioned that on a particular quilt involving a lot of pieces, if I were off 1/32" each piece, it would be a little more than 3" over the width of the quilt. UGLY! It made him respect quilters even more.Deannahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16967242215534982128noreply@blogger.com
