Not tried this, but maybe cutting it on the bias may help...

Hi, can anyone help please. I'm making up the Penguin Doorstop that I downloaded a while back. I printed the templates & cut the fabric, followed the method but when I've got to join the front & back panels, the front is .5" longer than the back almost. I've gone back to the paper & that's the same, as is a reprint. Also, from how it looks now, the head opening is much smaller than the body opening. Does anyone have any pointers to where I've gone wrong ? My guess is the printing but there's no check square on the pattern I've got to confirm that. I'm making it as a memory item so my fabric stock is limited so I've stopped making it until I can work this out. Any ideas welcome. Thanks very much, Helen.

Must be your printer, the patterns measure 7" long and the neck opening is 3" on the back pattern and 1.5" on the front, the head should measure 6.25" across the width, to be honest even without a scale square the pieces should have printed out proportionally... could you attach a photo of your print out please? And it may be an idea to make one from scrap before using your precious fabric, a pengiun tiole!

This may be silly but I am having trouble matching the diamonds when they have been put into groups for joining the star wreath for the Christmas quilt. I cannot get the pieces to fit together. Can anyone help please?
Laura replied: 18 Apr 22 at 21:25
Hi Ceels ...trying to imagine what stage you are at. I am guessing that you have completed the six groups of diamonds so that you are ready to sew them together. Do the groups all look the same shape and measure the same when you compare them. If they are not the same you may have to correct this by checking your seam allowance or diamond size etc. If they do look/measure the same then they should fit together. Keep comparing them to the diagrams in the instructions and arrange them to make the star space in the centre as it is important that you get them in the right order and colours to make the wreath shape. Once you are happy with the shape take two of the groups and put them right sides together and oversew the sides of the diamonds needed to construct the shape required. Keep checking against the shape to keep the star in the middle of the groups and continue sewing the groups together one by one to construct the wreath. Hope this helps to get your wreath complete.

Hello everyone I?m a bit confused on step 6&7 of the reverse appliqu? tea cosy. It says fold in half the 3inch strips which makes them 1.5? but in the picture Debbie?s strips look much thiner that 1.5? so have I miss understood or do I need to fold edges to the center and then fold in half?
