Had to rip several times and replace fabric. Loving the freezer paper method! I had a much easier time of it when I added more fabric

You can always make the pieces bigger, an extra 1/2” or more can really help. Another reason I recommend cutting and making only one house first, so we can make any changes we want before cutting them all.

I bought the freezer paper before I realized it would not work in our lazer printer. jamming! I have a really nice light box, so will just trace the patterns as I have done for years. I have made a ton of Ruth McDowell patterns and she uses the freezer paper method.

I love it. Where there’s a will, there‘s a way. I made a quilt top tracing the pattern pieces taped to my plate glass window in the living room. Worked just fine.
