Pre-cutting the fabrics is a mandatory requirement prior to taking this course. Please begin preparing for class at least 1-WEEK prior to the class to make sure that you are able to get familiar with your pattern and complete the pre-cutting beforehand. It is important that you have your pre-class cutting completed. If this step is not completed, you will have a very difficult time keeping up and participating in the instruction. We recommend reading through your entire pattern before beginning.
CORRECTIONS: PLEASE visit our website prior to class and before cutting out your fabric to make sure that you have the latest corrections for the pattern. Corrections are listed in our pattern gallery on our website at. http://www.quiltworx.com/corrections/ Click on the Cactus Flower Table Runner pattern and check the right column of the webpage for more information. If your pattern has a QR Code printed on the back, you may also scan this with your smartphone to go directly to the page and upload the corrections to your phone.
Foundation Papers and Template Sheets: Please refer to Page 1 of your pattern (under the 1st QR code) , and ‘Setting up your Bags #1-3′ on Page 2 of your pattern.
Cutting Instructions: Please read through ‘General Information’ on page 1 of your pattern before completing the steps below. If you didn’t look up the corrections be sure you do it now! Note: Please make sure all of the Template Sheets, Foundation Sheets, and fabric pieces are placed in the correct bags!
When cutting out your pattern and fabric, do ONE step at a time so you don’t get overwhelmed.
