C Turn foundation over and stitch along the printed line between #1 and #2, through paper and fabrics, using a small stitch (15-18 stitches per inch), and starting and stopping 3-4 stitches beyond the printed seamline. Clip all threads front and back. D Slip scissors between paper and fabric and trim seam allowance to approximately 1/4". Eyeball it, you’ll be fine! To prevent show through, trim dark fabrics narrower than added light ones. E Press seam allowance flat from fabric side, then flip fabric to cover #2 position and press again. Note: If you have photocopied the foundation, avoid the printed side. Toner will melt and transfer to your iron and fabrics. F Place, stitch, trim and press remaining fabrics until you have finished piecing the entire block. Be sure to allow plenty of extra fabric beyond the edges of the paper foundation.
