Clarification from wendy on layout guide

[Barbara B.]

I asked Wendy Williams to clarify the Layout Guide for the Trees Template. As I have said--it is ONLY a guide for placing the trees. It is NOT a guide for finished sizes of Small Houses sewn together.

Here is my discussion with Wendy:

Wendy, PLEASE ADVISE ME: Is the Layout Guide for the Tree Tops EXACTLY accurate for the two Small Houses sewn together, or simply a guide for placing the tree tops?

Her answer:

The layout is the size without seam allowances. It is not meant to show the sizes of the Small Houses, just to give some idea for the placement of the tree trunks. The tree trunks can be different each time, it is a guide only. It is s placement guide only. They don’t need to trim the blocks.


I hope this answers the question about the Layout Guide. Do not use it to compare your Small Houses. Use the size of the accurately printed Small House patterns and an accurately sewn 1/4 seam allowance when joining all the Small Houses into a complete circle.
