Spinning seams -

I have been making 4-patches forever -

But it has only been recently -

That I finally figured out to “spin seams” -
Like everyone else -
YAY for me! - ;))

BUT -

I often wondered what would happen -

If I accidentally “unsewed” an extra stitch or two -

Would I wind up with a “hole” in the middle of my 4-patch? - ;))

So I did an experiment -

And did exactly that -

I “unsewed” an extra stitch on each side -
To see what would happen -

And - YES - there is a small hole -
But NOT in the middle -
It’s where the seam ripper is in the photo -
It’s just to the side of center -

The center seam is still intact -
Because of the long seam -
That joins the 2-patch units -

Whew!

Now I know for SURE -

What everyone else already knows - ;))



Talk to you later - gotta go - gotta sew -
