\"M5<\/a>
M5 Yellow\/Grey Rosette<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

As you saw from the other post<\/a>, I was able to get this rosette together, but I did really struggle. I couldn’t get the points of the various sections to line up. I am not sure what the problem was.<\/p>\n

Yes, I know if someone can’t see it from a galloping horse, I shouldn’t worry about it and, ultimately, I accepted my fate and just did the best I could.<\/p>\n

The whole point of EPP, however, is that it is possible to line up complicated designs because all the fabric is stabilized and there is no bias stretch to worry about.<\/p>\n

The papers are die cut. I am using quilt shop quality fabric and I wash and press all of the fabric. Still, when I put the first section of the yellow and grey rosette together, the points were off.<\/p>\n

I wasn’t as worried about the center point (yellow meets stripes) as I was about the edges (see orange and blue arrows). If there are gaps there, there will be a gap between yellow pentagons.<\/p>\n

In order to try to get the pieces in better alignment, I unpicked what I had sewn and tried again.<\/p>\n

I was able to re-center them a little bit so the future gap on the side would be more evenly distributed, but I wasn’t able to get them lined up as perfectly as I would have liked.<\/p>\n

Still, I think the Rosette looks good and adding other pieces doesn’t seem to be a problem.<\/p>\n
