    Great way to begin and end colors!

    I just tried this method this morning. I'm sure many of you already know this - but it looks so much better than the way I was muddling through it before. I have posted pictures of two squares using my old "method" and this one. The old method is in the top light pink square and the new one is below it in the hot pink color. I am so happy with the result, it is worth the little extra effort! The steps are #4 - #7 in the following tutorial. I hope this helps someone!!

    Thanks for the tip I will work on it but for now I use the double square and I am happy with it. It does make a knot but I can hide it usually.
