Roxanne, when I placed the bottom edges of House 1 and 2 on top of each other, there was about 1/16" difference in width. The 1" scale on both pages is the same. There is only a slight difference at the top edge. I don't know if this will affect the final results or not but 8 times 1/16" equals 1/2". That's why I decided to redraw them for my 75% size version, plus I wanted to use 1/8" measurements to make it easier to assemble without paper.

nervous. When 360 degree circles come out short or too much, it won't lay flat. I normally leave the paper on when connecting units, like the wedges, and you can sew two
wedges together and look at the bottom piece after stitching and see if it is right on the line or narrow, or wide. That is why I love paper piecing for accuracy!!! HelenW

Traditional paper piecing works the same as freezer paper it just takes lots more paper and a few other differences. Use whichever method works best for you.

However, my Janome 1/4" presser foot drags on the exposed freezer paper when sewing the long background pieces.
I did raise the foot pressure to help. Any suggestions?
