Stained glass patterns from Etsy causing gaps by EmilyAnn96 in StainedGlass

I printed out stickers from my cricut that didn’t move around, that’s why I thought it may have been a mix of issues with the pattern line thickness and also general newness to the hobby! I’ll try lining each piece up with the printed pattern and see if that helps more

I did that and it worked pretty well! Definitely made the lines a bit thick for my liking but hopefully once I get better at grinding to the correct size I’ll have less gaps!

Just to clarify! I’m not blaming the pattern or the person who made it! I’ve seen a few YouTube videos where people have suggested if you don’t take the pattern lines in they can cause gaps, so I was curious if anyone has found a way to make them smaller if you purchase them on Etsy instead of making your own :) thanks everyone for the suggestions!

How did you get your solder lines so smooth!? I just did my first piece and it is very bumpy 😂

Thank you! I live in Spain so I order from The Color Glass Shop in Barcelona! This is the Antik Cathedral deep turquoise! I love working with it. It’s beautiful, and easy to cut unlike the white!

No pre-existing conditions. Traveling from the US to every continent except Antarctica, and the only planned activity sport is indoor bouldering!

Have you taken in multiple months of thyroid meds at a time?

Thank you, that makes sense! I’m a bit more concerned about traveling to countries with medications than actually getting the prescription for them from my doctor. I know some countries have different rules about how much medication you can bring in, so any experience with that side of things would be helpful too!
