Matching Angled Seams
Angled seams often cause problems because they seem so difficult to match. To make sure your angled seams match well between blocks, units or rows:
1. Press seams in opposite directions as you would if matching straight seams that are to be butted or nested together (Photo 1).

 |
2. Mark and position a pin 1/4" from the edge through the seams at the intersection of the seam allowances where the seams will cross to form an X. Pin the edges together (Photo 2).
|
 |
3. Stitch the joining seam, removing the pins as you come to them. Do not stitch over pins (Photo 3).
|
 |
4. Press the joining seam open to distribute fabric bulk (Photo 4).
