Blocking Template - Check Printer Settings

[catlewi]

My printer didn't have an option to print actual size...so how big is this square supposed to be? I'll just draw one the right size...lol Thanks, Cathy

The square for Clue #1 should be 4 1/2" x 4 1/2".

Thank you!

Thank you for the sizing! Saves time, paper, and ink.

So are we supposed to actually block it into a square? Can we have a picture of a blocked granny square? Thank you.

If you look in the spoilers thread, you'll see quite a few photos of squares other members have already blocked.

I made a photo of my blocking template for Clues 2, 3, 5 & 6.

This one has to be printed out 4 times, and taped together.

When were the blocking instructions given, I printed the templates but missed the instructions. Are we to block as we go along or when all the clues are finished? I always use a steam iron on top of tHe wet towel, you just lay the towel on top and let it dry? Just wanted to make sure I have it right. Thank you.

I don't know if they had instructions on when to block the motifs or not, but I am going to try and get mine blocked as I go along since they take a while to dry, and my blocking set up is rather small.

After I block my motif to the blocking board I spray it with water. Just enough to dampen it, then wait a few hours to dry. All done. I bought a small spray bottle for a dollar.
