I love the wreath...its funny but the original that was given to me has the upper right hand corner 1" and the rest 3/4" and the 6-1/2" I did is all 1-1/2" in each corner, does it really matter??? I don't think so

I tried either way doing the two I did, & they still don't exactly line up with those cross seams, so I just wing it? Any suggestions on this problem?

is this for the 3 1/2"? I think what I would do in that case...do the line from upper right to lower left first /, do at 3/4" first, mark upper right with "up" and then lay it down on the seam lines of 4 blocks and mark the left to right line...check what the measurements come out at. I haven't tried this but would be interested what they measure...Like I said when I bought my 3 1/2" template with the pattern the upper right was one inch and the rest 3/4"????? don't know why but it worked fine :thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup: :roll:

I think LindaR is on target with her comments but the one thing worth noting is you have to have "up" marked on your template with a Sharpie/permanent marker. If you are not consistent with putting the top side up all the time, it will not work either.

LindaR--was it a template or the actual twister tool?

It doesn't matter if it is your own acrylic home-made template or the actual tool. The only difference is the $$ it is costing you!

LindaR had stated that when she got her template with the pattern and I wanted to know if it was a template or the actual twister tool. Sorry for the confusion.
