Mariner’s Compass

my mariners compass finished at 13 1/2. if i continue with this one can I adjust road to make up the difference?

Jmlcb If your mariners compass is an inch in diameter short, are your houses also going to be short??? If your printer is just giving you a smaller version, it might all work out. If it is a quirk and your houses are the correct size, you could use something like Cindy Needhams circle template to make the road the size you need. You really start having a lot of mental work when messing with circles that are divided into 32 sections. I am doing a 60 percent size and I made my circle for the road one whole circle ring. You could
do something like that too. It might be easier to do a turned edge using the Rosa Rojas appliqick technique. Then you would just applique it to the top of the compass and the houses. You have to be ready for a lot of trial and error if you go that way. You should
measure your compass paper and see if it measures 7 1/4 which would be the radius. The diameter is supposed to be 14 1/2.

I doubt it would be easy to adjust the road but give it a try. The roads are made in small sections so if one additional section does the trick, that would be easy. No way to know until you do it.

Do you know why your compass is an 1” too small?
