TIP: SET-IN SEAMS are needed to add pieces that require two separate seams
because a straight seam will not work. A set-in seam is made by sewing one
side of the piece being added (in this case a square or triangle) to one side of a
diamond. The fabric is then removed from the sewing machine, the pieces are
folded so the second side of the triangle or square aligns with the side of another
diamond. That second seam is sewn, then the piece is pressed flat. All stitching
begins or ends at the 1/4" seam at the inside corners (Figure 12).
