When I went to school, South Africa, and was just metricated Daan Decimal around to all assistance to the metric system. Kwilters harpers and queen older than 55 have to do with thumbs harpers and queen had but those younger than 55, from thumbs learned from American kwiltboeke. Since I love to do arithmetic (it is one of the reasons why I patchwork enjoyed-I can be very calculations) and I easily diagrams can read, it never made sense to me to be an American pattern to follow. If I get an idea to see what I like, I decide what size I want my patterns (if necessary). Nowadays we would without patterns with multi-line ruler. I prefer my ruler in centimeters and my whole system is in centimeters. When I started patchwork and do it with the machine to do, (in 1980 there is still mainly worked by hand), I soon realized that the seam admission and machine feet with each other must be related. The U.S. magazine has a special quarter inch heel speaking people had to buy or lines drawn on the machine bed had to the extent to give. I figured if I machine the foot of the needle to the outside of my foot measurement, I seam admission and so I added a 7 mm. I have seen my blocks is not always the desired size is not (So 2-4 mm less) but it was not small differences that affect my accuracy did not. I millimeter graph paper and could I pull out templates. It is also the seam allowing the templates in my book: Patchwork Machine.
With the template-free era where we took the lines on the ruler worked, I was 1 mm short of the 1.5 cm that I could read the ruler. harpers and queen If I square or rectangles cut where there is a seam admission to each side, there were two seam allowances to be counted, a 1.4 cm. I went back to the machine foot dop-mindful of my blocks harpers and queen as 4 mm smaller and then the whole foot measured. Yes I forgot the mm space needle takes! The foot was 1.5 cm wide and half of 7.5 mm. Now I could also work patroonplaatvry squares harpers and queen and rectangles with my ruler and rolsnyer to 8 layers high cut. In the inch system, the following: Square: add 1/2 inches by HST Half Square Triangles (It's triangles where two triangles from a square cut) - add 7/8 inches harpers and queen by QST Quarter square TRIANGLES (4 triangles from a square harpers and queen cut twice diagonally split) - add 1 and 1/4 inches by. If you sign out or mathematical calculating the measurements for the decimal system as follows: Square-add harpers and queen 1.5 cm to HST - add 2.5cm to add QST to 3.5 cm It is important not the two systems to return. harpers and queen Do the square in centimeters and use the triangles in inches and then combine the panels. Essential: The seam allowance you add the seam allowance you need to sew. The way the material guide you determine harpers and queen your admission seam real. If you have a special quarter inch heel but you use cheap materials so that you can clearly see (then picks 1 mm material) not sew a quarter inch seam admission but closer harpers and queen to 7.5 mm. (This is why American books of a "scan harpers and queen quarter inch" seam talk. Naat admission stick out same applies if you are using the 1.5 cm heel guide the material is just equal to the outer edge of the foot visible and from down. Correctly Does it matter? People seam admitted mistakes harpers and queen will not notice all the pantjies same. example if you only square work touches the seam admission harpers and queen unimportant. then the only thing that is important: constant maintaining the same seam admission.
The adhesive strip that you use mirrors glue is thick and provides a good guide to the material to the machine foot in the right position to take. Essential: Maintain throughout that same seam admission.
Wonnerlike news that you are an African blog also! I was wondering why you are still on your other blog and then caught my eye last night this one. I work in centimeters and my "thumb" rulers harpers and queen only for classes and straight cut. :-) I also enjoy working out and arithmetic part of patterns. Do good work and all that is beautiful!
