Precision Piecing: Fons and Porter - Row Alignment

Today I want to talk about Precision Piecing, but focus on tips for sewing blocks together with sashing.  It is all too easy to get our blocks misaligned in this process, but there are some great tips for precision piecing blocks with sashing.  

SewCalGal originally released this post sharing a link to a video where Tony Jacobson, from Fons and Porter, shares insights on how to achieve perfect row alignment when the blocks in your rows may be of different size.  That particular video has be re-created under the Sew Easy lessons, with Jean and Colleen, from Fons and Porter, and this post has been updated accordingly.

This SewEasy  video for Sashing Alignment provides excellent tips for precision piecing rows of blocks with sashing:
