Pre-cutting requirements for technique #1

Please come prepared with your fabrics and papers cut out for technique #1.

Cutting out the Foundation Papers – the cutting should be done by trimming the excess paper away, approximately 1/8” beyond the outside cutting line.

Place the papers for Unit-E into Bag #1 and the papers for Unit-S into Bag #2.

Cutting out the Template Layout Sheets – Cut out each of the Template Layout Sheets. This is done by cutting on the dark solid line which forms a box around the outside perimeter of each group of templates.

Note: Do not cut the individual templates apart on the Template layout Sheets.

Unit – S Template Layout sheet, Background Fabric: Cut out (1) copy, and place in Bag #2.

Unit – E Template Layout Sheet, Background fabric: Cut out (1) copy, and place in Bag #1.
