The slit should be cut straight down, parallel to the line of stitching. If it is angled, you will see it right away in the V shaped cut that results. It\u2019s no big deal, but try to keep it straight so it is parallel to the sewing line and makes a neater cut.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Now, continue on to step three in the <a href=\"https:\/\/artquiltmaker.com\/blog\/2022\/06\/finishing-bullseye-blocks\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">previous post<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>**Obviously, you should shop at local quilt shops.
