MARINER'S COMPASS-ASK QUESTIONS HERE

[Barbara B.]

Excellent! Glad you found the videos helpful.

Hi Barbara I have finished Small houses 1 & 2 and the Mariners Compass today. Had the kit for 2 yes. Thank you so much I couldn’t have done it without your videos Julie Nims also working on this years BOM. Cutting circles now.

No. The black and cream solids are only for the roads and a few places in the skyscrapers. Add your own black white if you want it in the compass.

Is there enough black fabric and cream fabric in the kit to use for the mariner's compass? I am a little late getting started but loving the journey of the Color My World !

My Mariner's Compass measures 14.25 inches instead of 14.5. Is this going to be a big issue or will it 'all come out in the wash'?

see if a little “assertive pressing “ will find the 1/4”. If not, you will be able to ease the Inner Road to fit.

I am substituting a star for the mariner’s compass. What is the size of the block, including seam allowance?

Marcia P, I think it was 14 1/2" and that includes the seam allowance. HelenW

Take a look at the front page of the directions.

I'm having trouble with sewing the left and right segments together! Rip and sew X 4. It seems to be a visual distortion all the points and seams coming together! I've even replaced some large sections because they're chewed up from the needle. Due to the thickness, the stitching goes in a different direction than what I want.
do I place the template on top and stitch through it?

Are you trying to sew the sections with the paper still on? After trimming the sections to the proper size, remove the paper and sew the sections as you would any two pieces of fabric.

Greetings, I am experiencing great challenge sewing each compass section together to achieve correct aligned points. What are the tips to have the points achieve alignment? Thanks

I reduce the foot pressure when sewing bulky seams.
The Bernina pressure is 70 by default and I reduce it to 50 or even 40.
