    [[email protected];n892713]The applique block is trimmed to 12.5 x 13.5 but the pieced block says to trim to 12" sq. Doesn't make sense to me. What should the finished size of the blocks joined together be?[/QUOTE]

    The pieced block is 12” FINISHED. It is 12.5”,including seam allowances. When sewn together, the unit is 25.5” W x 12.5” H.

    Pam R. If you set your printer to 102 percent that should make it the needed 33.5 inches.. Doesn't really
    solve the problem. Just one type of work around to get it. HelenW

    [QUOTE=scamper;n892676]Has anyone had the paper pieced second border be to short, even though the 1" scale is correct when paper printed? I had no problem with the first paper pieced border size.[/QUOTE]

    When you tape the pages together for a paper pieced pattern be sure the complete pattern is the correct size. The other Dogtooth border needs to be 33" finished, so 33.5" including seam allowances.

    [[email protected];n892601]Barbara, I am getting ready to make the Dresden plates. Is there a reason we are not using the Print n Fuse paper and the method we used for our applique leaves and flowers? If I use the cardboard templates and even using a tiny amount of glue I do not see how I can remove them without a lot of pulling.[/QUOTE]

    Irene does not use Print N Piece Fuse Lite, she only uses the Paper Pieces templates. If you prefer to cut those tiny petals from PNPFL, you can, then it will wash out.

    To remove the paper templates from the petals, first use a very LIGHT touch with the glue. Then follow Irene's instructions to use starch or Best Press to wet the petals a bit then gently remove the papers.

    [QUOTE=sb1959;n892599]Well I pieced very nicely the 2.25" squares and added the corners to set on point but this is not going to trim to 4.5" nicely, 5" yes. I guess I just created some orphan blocks. I just looked at the pattern again and it says 2.25 still. Am I missing something?[/QUOTE]

    The video and Month 3 blog show the instructions. Four 2.25" squares are sewn into a 4-patch, then it is trimmed to 3.25". The background HST cut from 3.5" squares are added to the 4-patch and then that unit is trimmed to exactly 4.5". All of the pieces are oversize so you can cut precisely to the correct size.

    [QUOTE=FJI001;n892493]Barbara,
    This is a little confusing and I have figured it out but the pattern instructions say:
    "Light fabric: 16 @ 3 ½" squares
    Colored fabrics: 16 different colored fabrics @ 2 ¼" squares"
    In your video you say we need 16 dark colored 2 1/4" squares and 16 light colored 2 1/4" squares for a total of 32.[/QUOTE]

    Janice, to make 8 four patches you need 32 squares. I suspect Irene meant to have an additional line that says cut 16 Light squares, 2 1/4”.

    The video instructions are correct. The instructions have been updated.

    [[email protected];n892467]I did spray the Dresdens and let them cook, but it is very difficult to remove the paper. My first is so bad I will have to remake it. What am I doing wrong?[/QUOTE]

    Use a very light touch with the glue. A little dab will do.
