Bowed Attic Window help
 
I am having a real hard time getting my blocks together. The angled blocks attaching the sill part. Not the large one on the bottom and top but the window pane.

Not sure if I can help but do you have a picture to show us?

I haven't done a bay window, but if we could see the part you're having trouble with, maybe someone could help OR have you solved your problem?

Welcome to this board.

What troubles are you having? Strips too long? Puckers in the seam?

How are you joining those strips that make the pane? With miter corners make sure you have a 45 degree corner. You can also use a square sashing block in the corner to make the connections between the two strips.

Are the window blocks cut to the right measurements and squared up? They may be rectangle in shape but should be straight on the edges.

What seam allowance are you using? Check the strips to make sure they are at the right size for attaching to the block.

You may have to mark the seam line in the corner. Mark 1/4 inch on both pieces with an intersecting line into the (inside) corner. Stitching down that line, stop right on that the corner mark, pivot the block and continue sewing the other strip.

Hope that helps & Welcome to the boards!

the photo is in Photos under Bay Attic Window. i think it is the angles giving her fits. she's done the top and bottom section fine, but the window is troublesome.

Christine,

If you still need help, post your photos here in your thread. I can't find the photos as referenced above.
