Joanna, I agree with your husband. Although I'm not so sure my hard
drive is full--instead it seems I need more RAM (or whatever the proper
term is these days). I just can't multi-task the way I used to.
Best regards,

Karen, I think you are matching seam intersections??? You draw the seam
allowance/stitching line at 1/4 in. and then match the intersections at the
1/4 in. line so when you sew it together they are all lined up nicely.
Hope this is what you are asking!

I'm pretty sure it's what Leslie said - that that's what you asked us.
The reason is that it takes a little while to eye-ball the joining point
on a non-45° diamond. The seam allowance seems to go on such a long way
after the point. You could make a 'corner' from thinnish card which you
could place at a quarter inch from each side and put a dot at its point.
You would have to do two, to cope with the two angles in your diamonds.
I think I remember that they were 60° diamonds? If you measured the
distance at first, then got used to the placement, it would save you
loads of time. I used it successfully for several pieces. In fact I
made, for differently angled diamonds.
