Originally posted by Suekona View PostI 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.Barbara Black

Still having trouble getting my circle with the houses to lay flat. I want to correct this before moving onto roads. Barbara, I noticed someone referenced an earlier post by you on what maybe the problem. I’ve adjusted ant seam lengths that seem off. The circle is flatter, but still seems off at the bottom of the circle. Any suggestions on how to correct

Try checking the open hole in the middle of the ring of Small Houses. If you have a wall you can pin to or a floor you can crawl around. The OPEN HOLE should be 17.5" from raw edge to raw edge. If it is larger than that, you still have some seam allowances that are narrower than they should be. Get as close as you can. And if you can pin to a wall, you can "block" it to size, spritzing a bit of water, use LOTS of pins and carefully pin it to the correct size. That is a lot of work so I wouldn't do it on the ring of Small Houses unless you feel it's really necessary.

I am just cross cutting my 2.75" pieces for my inner road....there is no way to get 16 pieces as my usable fabric is not 44" wide, ugh! Guess I will have to figure out a way to cut and piece one more section without wasting too much needed fabrics.Lower Mainland, British Columbia, Canada

I didn't word my previous comment correctly. It is the pieced black/white strip where I cannot get 16 pieces cut, maybe I am misunderstanding the directions, but if I cut 2 @ 1 3/4" pieces and sew them on either side of my white 1 7/8" piece, I really only have one WOF to cut from, correct? If my WOF does not measure the 44" then I need to cut and piece more, right?Lower Mainland, British Columbia, Canada

I am just starting to paper piece the upper road using the template. I notice that when I fold the template on the middle line, the two sides do not line up. One side is a quarter inch longer than the other. Has anyone else noticed this as well? Should I adjust my pattern in some way?
