Hi everyone!, I have a silly question regarding thread color for sewing the roads.... black or white?
- IP
-
If you mean for piecing, dark is better than light generally. But I used the tan or gray I usually piece with. The blog recommends a small stitch length and BACKSTITCHING all the seams so they don’t open.
TIP--when sewing black fabric I like to use Navy Blue thread, and vice versa. It provides the dark color but is somewhat easier to pick out should you have a mistake that needs to be fixed--in case that ever happens to any of you...

Hi everyone
Why do we need to use the plastic templates? Since we are doing freezer paper piecing, we have to trim everything again before removing the freezer paper. I did one segment using template and the other one without and i do not see any difference. But there must be a good reason right?

My interior circle measures 17.5 horizontally, but 18 inches across vertically. I have noticed some people saying they tightened up seam allowances. I am not sure what that means. Should I just increase seam allowances slightly around the circle? The interior circle looks round, not oval--not sure what went wrong.

I wouldn't attempt to oversize the Inner Road--just make it the correct size and "ease to fit"--not hard to get 1/2" eased in over the entire circle.

Judy, I tried to upload a picture of the circles I did for my roads. The small ones (green) are one whole circle, the tan dirt
road for the outside road was cut it 4 pieced. I measure the diameters I needed and drew it in EQ8. HelenWLast edited by Helen W.; 05-02-2021, 11:53 AM.

Okay, I sewed together my road strips for the inner road and cut into 2 1/2 inch segments as the instructions stated.
Well my template is too big for those 2 1/2 segments and now I must "do over". I purchased the kit so I am just keeping my fingers crossed that I have enough fabric for the upper road. The segments should be cut in 3 inch segments or just cut as you go.

I have the roads finished, sewed to the inner and outer edges of my circles. Now will try to sew them together. I really think they detract from the quilt. So much contrast in the area. I wanted my houses and compass rose to stand out. The highway really is too distracting. Oh well. Maybe the next buildings will help.

There is very little extra black and white fabric in the kit. I recommend you first check to be sure you can cut all the fabric you need using the cutting instructions before you sew anything else. If you don't have enough fabric, you may want to substitute a different black and white from the beginning..Barbara Black

I want to share an experience regarding the adding of roads. I paper pieced my houses and roads, trimmed to the the lines. While adding the roads, I noticed that the stitching was opening up on the houses. Removed the road and put a row of stitching outside of the seam allowance.
I strongly suggest doing a stay stitching on the inner edge of the houses before adding the roads. When we make the large houses I'll be sure to do this step.
