measure twice. Top and bottom. This may be the first time the cut was off, I've never checked before. But a few of these starts need every inch of the fat quarter width and it would be foolish not to. Edges are fully serged, I have not cut.
It happens, I'm sure not intentional with all the pieces flying out for shipping. It may only be one in a thousand but if you're that one that measured the top and it's good, measure the bottom too, just in case.
This is the Paperbark that was too apricot for me, so I got out the Rit and now it is Bitch Beige with meno mottling. Not bad, but the result looks more like it was tie-dyed. The very small piece of Creme Brulee by Tabbycat that I ordered has one side with solid dark mottling and the other side has none. Like half of an Oreo. Can't help that in a small piece.
I started Ann Stone on 30 count with two threads over two. Meh. It's like the old days when all my projects were 25 to 30 unbleached with two threads.
It's been a frustrating morning dealing with someone that .... well ...... why bother.
Hope your day is swell.

Bitch Beige is beautiful!!!
Ooo, love "Bitch Beige"...and the linen color is pretty stinking cool too. Your meno mottling is awesome. I am having severe stitching disenchantment...and estrangement at this point. I had been making significant progress on Halloween at Hollyberry Farm and was even over halfway through that bloody border, but the linen color just was not sitting right with me. I THOUGHT I was stitching it on the called-for linen (as I ordered it from Traditional Stitches and that's what they said it was stitched on) but something was off. I finally looked more carefully at the pattern...it was stitched on 35ct rook...I had 36ct rook. I had a small piece of the 35 in my stash and compared. Wow...2 totally different colors. So now it is laying on a pyre.... I guess you can add "read at least once, stitch once" to your proverb. 🤬 ~Robin~
