**************************************************************
FYI:  What is a scant 1/4” seam? There are occasions when you sew two pieces together, carefully sewing ¼ from the edge of your fabric and find that the finished size after pressing the seams toward the darker fabric is slightly smaller than it should be.  When piecing a quilt, the perfect seam allowance needs to be a SCANT quarter inch, rather than a true ¼”. This is because the fold of the fabric over the seam allowance can shrink the finished measurement of the piece just a bit. To get a “scant ¼” seam, sew a couple threads narrower (closer to the cut edge) than a true quarter inch if needed. You can always test your seams using a couple of scraps before you begin.
