Subject: Quilting rows

Question
I have constructed all my pieces and sewn them into rows and now the rows are not the same lengths.  2 are the same but one is too long and the 4th one is too short.  Do I need to rip out the stitches and start over?  Or is there and easier solution?

Answer
HI Alissa,
This usually happens when you do not take the time to square each unit and make sure they are all the same size before putting them together.

This can happen if your seam allowance is not the same on all pieces.

Sometimes you can make them all the same by adding borders to the ones which are smaller.  that way they will all be the same size.
