In the law, cases are "on point" when the facts of the case in the law books - already decided - exactly match the facts in your case so you can cite it as being the law.
So it follows that it kind of annoys me when folks use the phrase "case in point"... where does that come from? It's like "tough road to hoe" instead of "tough row to hoe". But then I get persnickety about silly stuff like that. You're shocked, I know.
But I digress - another big shock.
Oh - Happy Monday!
Scant.
You'd think such a small word wouldn't have such huge implications. It ought to be insignificant. How much difference could it make - really? Yes, I'm referring to that thing we quilters call a scant 1/4" seam allowance. It's elusive. It's cursed... much-sought-after... and occasionally incomprehensible.
Does it really matter? I wish I could give you a definitive answer but there are times when no, it doesn't.
