I tend to wing it and not always use pins too but found they really came in handy with the plaid—next time I will have to try the basting technique!thestoryofkathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04758325937363366507noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5399579430237930378.post-5153528451914880112011-06-20T12:10:21.300-04:002011-06-20T12:10:21.300-04:00Working with plaid, or really any pattern that has...Working with plaid, or really any pattern that has a straight line on it drives me insane.

I'm not much of a "pinner"...I think you get a bit cocky after a long time sewing and just "wing" it, but with plaid if I don't pin or spray baste...forget it. Take comfort too, if you ever look at ready made plaid products out there...clothes or what have you...a lot of those don't match up perfectly.<br /><br />Happy hammock daydreaming!Meelinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03416420120054309702noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5399579430237930378.post-82543487853589991592011-06-18T01:20:45.437-04:002011-06-18T01:20:45.437-04:00Reading in a hammock sounds heavenly!
