Check Matching = nightmare!

So I struggled last week with trying to get my checks to work, so I asked not one but two tutors today about it. Of course they gave me two opposing views!
My tutor Kat said I should just essentially bully the fabric into lining up with the pattern, but my tutor Graham said if I do this as soon as I take the paper off the fabric will be the wrong shape.
As much as I wanted to follow Kat's advice because it would make everything line up, Graham had a point so I resigned myself to just be as close as possible. Now all of my pieces are cut we'll see tomorrow whether it worked! I have left my self A LOT of allowance to nudge things around into the right place, and I just pray that it works out!
On the plus side, I learnt how to put in a zipper!
