It’s been quite a while since I’ve used a forum, so I have a lot to relearn! I’ve started my January blocks and will be doing a scrappy Color My World with fabrics from my Kaffe Fassett Collective stash. I have been using freezer paper almost exclusively for foundation piecing, and I have a couple of tips. 1. Set your iron one little click below the hottest setting for your fabric. I found that the fabric sticks better. 2. I put a piece of parchment paper on my wool mat, so that I can iron my first piece of fabric onto the parchment by putting the fabric right side down, then the freezer paper print side up. Then iron. Let it cool a second, then just peel it off the parchment. No gumming up your iron, and no fuzzies from your wool mat stitching to the freezer paper. I also keep a smaller piece of parchment paper available to use like a pressing cloth for those times when I’m ironing with the fabric side up so that I don’t gum up the iron if the fabric isn’t covering everything any my iron is bigger than the fabric area. 3. I use my edge joining foot with the guide in the center to sew my seams. I just align the guide with the folded paper and get perfect seams. Hope these tips are useful.

 I have finished my first month of houses, bought the kit, the suggestion of the edge stitch foot was priceless! Thank you! Had to print at 102% on my Epson. Barbara is a Saint to be fielding all these questions! I have subscribed to this forum and believe there are valuable things we are learning, but the amount of questions coming in that are answered in the other materials is insane. Hopefully this changes or I’m going to have to turn my phone off!

Here are my group 1&2. I thought I was finished until I looked closer at photo’s and notice that the Bright dark Orange in Group 1 at the end is missing the piece below the roof...How’d I do that? So tomorrow I will redo w/same fabrics and call the 16 done.
