jlmjlm OFFLINE Posts: 9 Thank you received: 27	I decided to bond my windows and doors to give me something to play with. These are houses No2, and today’s play. I also intend to add some parks as I live in a rural area, but that’s for another day! Great Idea Jillypea. I'm glad I saw yours before I started mine. I might do something similar. (Sorry, I haven't learned how to include the statement to which I'm responding.)

Linyo OFFLINE Posts: 2 Thank you received: 12	I have another basic question. Which thread am I supposed to be using—the thread kit comes with 60wt and 80 wt. I don’t know the difference.

LesMorris OFFLINE Posts: 10 Thank you received: 51	Hello MckPwll, good question: answer: we are making 16 houses this month all in all. Eight House #1's and eight House #2's. I know it can be confusing. Can't wait for February.

McKPwll OFFLINE Posts: 3 Thank you received: 1	I know this may sound like a lame question, but for this month are we making only houses 1 and 2 or are we making 16 in total?

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? Try covering the exposed freezer paper with a yellow sticky note as it feeds under your pressure foot. The sticky note has much less friction.

PhillippaK OFFLINE Posts: 8 Thank you received: 47	Hi, I have a Janome 9400 and am using my HP foot. If you don't have this foot try using the F foot or the Teflon foot. I just tried both and no problems. Also use your straight stitch plate if you have one. Hope this helps.

I assume everyone is using freezer paper. Tried it that way but prefer the traditional paper piecing. Guess I'm a dinosaur. The end result, however, is that the houses are beautiful and can't wait for next month.

Pat, you posted this in Alex Anderson's Classroom--I moved it here to the 2021 BOM.

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.

lholzhu OFFLINE Posts: 6 Thank you received: 46	Finished up Small House #2. I can say they are addictive! Thinking of what else I can make with these houses. They grow on you once you get the hang of them. Now on to another project... *angle of camera makes row one appear smaller...but are the same” Attachments: 91DE2F6D-B...C88.jpeg (49KB)
