I'm not sure I'm posting this to the right place on the forum. Please forgive me if it's not!
I have a question about sewing the pairs of houses together. I am relatively new to patchwork and the BOM is going well so far - I think because of the freezer paper to help with accuracy. I'm nervous about sewing the houses together accurately without the foundation paper. Would it help to spray them with starch before sewing? I have not used any starch on my fabrics (or ever before for that matter) - not for cutting or piecing. Would it mess things up to starch now? I have practiced sewing an accurate 1/4" seam and used tape to mark 1/4" on my machine. Just wondering if that's enough. Any suggestions would be very much appreciated!

Great way to spend Easter, in my sewing room. I have put all my houses together. The outside sits nice and flat but the inside is a little big. Will I be able to ease it in when the road is attached?
