Try setting the printer for A4 paper. That works for some with the Small Houses earlier
-
I have a pdf file of the patterns to scale for the Tall buildings. Not sure if you will have the same issue printing from these but it might be worth a try. I am not able to upload the files to this message (I keep getting an error message) but I would be happy to email them to you if you'd like.

Hi Barbara, So continue to have issues even with A4. I went back and tried printing my small houses and they came out fine. Same settings with large houses and still is cutting off the bottom. Any other suggestions??? From. Others as well. Would have been nice to split these pages up more as it is so critical to get them accurate.
I have it 1/16 but I know that is not good enough!Last edited by lholzhu; 06-01-2021, 04:32 PM.Linda H

Hello Barbara, Thank you for the blog info on measuring the sides to see if we're on the right track. I am ready to stitch the shadow on the side of the four TB #1 RS. Taking the freezer paper template as the size to cut the shadow (and my 1" scale is just right for printing), The shadow piece is too short to fit the full length/side of the 4 sections. The side measures 7" and the shadow piece measures 6.25". I believe all my seam allowances are accurate. Thoughts on how to correct this? Thank you.

The RS shadow is 6.25" finished so is cut a bit longer than 6.75"--because of the angle on the shadow.
The 4 building parts of RS measure 6.25" finished--exactly the same as the shadow.
Are you saying you sewed the 4 parts of the lower part of RS together and they are 7" long on the Shadow side? That's only slightly longer than it should be to fit the RS Shadow.
Another thought--the two Shadows are two different sizes. Be sure you have the RS Shadow to sew on the RS TB#1.
If your patterns are printed accurately with the 1" scale box, the parts should all be the correct size.Barbara Black

Thank you. I am only working with the RS building thus far. If I skimp a little on the top edge, not coming all the way to the top of my building, the shadow piece will nearly fit. Alternatively, I think I might just cut the future shadows a bit longer. Do you see any reason NOT to do that? I think, also, my seams to put the building pieces together may be a little scant, but the finished side does just about measure (within an 1/8") what you had mentioned earlier...Thanks.

My first shadow piece for the left handed houses proved to be about 1/8” short after cutting out. This might be explained by the fact that freezer paper shrinks slightly when you iron on it. Not really a problem, I just added a little on the bottom end when I cut more of those pieces out.

We get the patterns from the designer and do not change those patterns.
Some people have printing problems when printing from a phone or tablet. Some cannot print accurately from the View File copy--only the Download copy on a computer seems to work for some. Others suggest they get the most accurate printing in Adobe.
For Tall Building #1 you are the first to ask about printing problems. Perhaps if someone else has had your issue, they can make another suggestion.

I discuss the Shadows on the Video, at about 1:30.
And the paper is only used as a CUTTING TEMPLATE. When you are ready to sew it to the side of the TB, remove the paper--be sure the narrow end is down at the bottom of the TB.Barbara Black

I have finished my first Tall Building 1 Right Side. I made sure my scale was correct both on the printed copies of the templates and the copies on to the freezer paper. Every think came together very well except the top piece that is attached to the roof. It is about 1/8th of an inch off. I'm going to try taking it apart and moving that piece over so it lines up. If it looks too off, I'll try making another one. I thought I did it correctly. Any thoughts on what I could have done wrong? ThanksBeth Palluzi

If you are using freezer paper, it could be how you folded the line back to sew beside. If sewing through paper, it can be how close to perfectly you hit the line. Put it on a wall, stand back 6 feet, and see if you can see the slight amount that is "off". Bet you can't. I wouldn't worry about it. I had to stare at your photo a bit to understand the "issue". Make the next TB and see if you hit it perfectly. You get to decide how perfect this all has to be.
Another question. In the cutting directions for Tall Building 1 Right side, it says to cut 1 piece j (1 1/2 inch square). I needed 2 which was not a problem since I have a tremendous amount of background scraps. I was just surprised and wondered if I missed something. Thanks again. I really enjoy working on this quilt. I was so excited to see the June pattern come out a day early.

We were able to mix up the houses in the small house circle and not follow the 1,2,3,4 order. I'm guessing because of the top angle of each tall building that we won't be able to mix them up as we did in the small house circle. Correct?Laceflower
