    Thank you for your excellent videos! I especially enjoyed the tour of the new site. I didn't realize that there are two sets of videos for BOM, that's a lot of work and I appreciate it. God bless! BTW: I live in Mobile!

      I would like to do decorative stitching on my houses before there put together. What kind of stabilizer would you recommend me to use. Thamks Julie E.

        Julie, If you don't want to wash your fabric you could probably use a tear away stabilizer. If you use cut away, it might leave an edge
        and give the fabric a different feel if in a quilt. Would not matter if using as a wall hanging. I like using Pellon Sheerweight 906 on
        a lot of my applique. It is fusible and very light weight. You could lay in on the back of your house ring. Cut it to that shape. Then
        fuse it on. It does not change the feel of the fabric. I use it all the time. HelenW

          Barbara,
          I have a question. The outline pattern for tree placement...if my houses are a bit too wide, should I trim them down to the pattern? I assumed that the pattern includes the 1/4 inch seam allowance.

            No, don’t trim anything. I am trying to get some clarification on the Layout Guide for the tree placement.
