Pre-class cutting and Supply List

www.quiltworx.com

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 before hand. 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.

Fabric Selection: Choose 9 bright textured batiks, ranging from light to medium and 12 dark textured batiks, ranging from medium to dark. Refer to the yardage chart on the backside of your pattern. Note: Fabric calculations are based on 42″ wide fabric. If your fabric does not measure 42″ you may want to consider buying a little extra yardage to compensate.

Preparing the Template Sheets and Foundation Papers: Please read through ‘General Information You Should Know’ on page 2 of your pattern. Make sure to copy the S-1 and S-2 template as stated under ‘Choosing Fabric Colors:’.

Cutting Instructions: Please read through ‘Background Pieces’ on Page 2 and ‘Spikes’ on page 3 of your pattern before beginning the steps below. We recommend checking our website for pattern corrections before you begin cutting your fabric. Please refer to the cutting illustration on page 5 of your patternfor the placement of your templates, as you cut your fabric. Note: After the cutting is completed please make sure all of the Template Sheets, Foundation Sheets, and fabric pieces are placed in the correct bags before coming to class!

 Background Pieces:

 · Complete steps 1 – 4 under ‘Background Pieces’ on page 2 of your pattern. Place each group of colors into it’s own bag. Do not subcut the Template sheets (step 5) as Julie will demonstrate this in class!

 Spikes:

 · Complete steps 1 & 2 on page 3 of your pattern under ‘Spikes’. Clip pieces together using large paper clips or binder clips and place in the Bags specified.

 Center Templates:

 · Complete the instruction on page 3 of your pattern under ‘Center Templates’. Clip pieces together using large paper clips or binder clips and place in the Bags specified.

 Set the rest of the fabric aside for the border units. These will be cut after you are finished with the foundation paper piecing.
