I am having a bit of a problem. I thought I followed the directions exactly. To join the two top pages, I trimmed the first page to the registration mark, then lined it up with the page to the right, matching up the vertical lines of the registration marks. The registration look like an upside-down "T" where they join.
However, when I line up the registration marks on the the two sheets of paper, the cutting lines and seam lines don't match up. Also, the grid measures only 1 and 3/4" wide when joined at the registration marks.That's when I noticed that the seam lines and cutting lines don't match up. Only the grids where the papers join are short. The other grids measure exactly 2" square.
I could line up the seam and cutting lines to where I think they should be, but I don't like to do that. I would rather know for sure that I put the pattern together right. I don't want to end up with an oval instead of a circle, or with spikes of different widths. I am afraid that if I don't get the center circle cut and sewn exactly right, that the rest of the quilt will be hard to put together and won't lie flat.
Also, what is the diameter of the circle on the template supposed to measure - from seam line to seam line?
Suggestion: Before you print out these templates on expensive foundation sheets, you might want to print them on plain paper first, to see how yours go together.
