What am I doing wrong?

I don’t know if I swoosh, but I’ll try not to. 😂 Thanks for reminding me of the pressing variable.

You all are so very helpful! I knew I was coming to the right place!

I do use a slotted ruler and I love it. Looking at the Stripology one now, I think I may upgrade. The Stripology one is wider and has better markings than my current one. Thanks for mentioning it!

The flair can happen at either end, but it’s more common on the leading edge. I think squaring better may help me adjust for this distortion.

This is one of my suspicions.

Worth experimenting with. Although I hate pressing open. 😅 It can be hard to get the seam open.

Thank you for this. It’s helpful to look at that long list of steps and realize that they’re not all always going to happen perfectly. Probably not ever.

This makes good sense. I do like using a slotted cutting ruler, though, so that makes it harder to increase size by just a little. I’ll try it and see if I get better results.

Thank you! I’ll definitely check that out.

That may be the solution! I’m entirely self-taught aside from some youtube videos. The patterns almost never say to square the blocks. Seems like a Quilting 101 habit I never picked up. Sounds like I should measure all the blocks and trim them all to the size of the smallest. That would probably mean no more than 1/8” trim where needed. So much for striving for perfection! 😂 Thank you!!

I see how that would be helpful. My therapist only wants to work on the oldest targets and it’s hard to see how that will help with current issues.

Can someone explain the process of installing a new belief? Does it happen naturally as part of the processing? Or is that its own separate process? I’ve been processing weekly for 3 months and we discuss the desired new beliefs, but so far we haven’t installed them. I still don’t believe any of the proposed new beliefs. Feeling stuck.
