Circling Back Around -

There are some projects that just don’t work well with Leaders & Enders for me.

Any paper piecing project where the seams are short and in the center of the paper template make it really hard to chain anything without a complete and utter waste of thread (and time) so Leaders & Enders take a back seat there.

That also applies to things like string piecing where I can use the units themselves as Leaders & Enders and just work on two blocks at a time – one engine, one caboose – trimming my work off from behind the presser foot. I complete two blocks, and when one is done (or both) just pull in a new foundation and start on the next ones.

When I piece on paper the stitch length is set smaller, and I just don’t like to work on a second Leader & Ender project at that point.

She looked at me for a few seconds and decided it was better to head on over the fence.

I love how she steps so daintily!

I’ll get more time to work on my blocks today – going for as much variety of everything that I can pull together.

Some days there isn’t much time for sewing progress – and that’s okay.

We do what we can in between all of the other must-do’s that fill up our days.

What will you do wtih your Friday today?
