Pre-cutting the fabrics is a mandatory requirement prior to taking this course. Please begin preparing for class at least 3-WEEKS 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: There are two different colorways displayed on the cover of the Meandering Stars. Please refer to the yardage charts on the back of your patterns.

Preparing the Template Sheets: Please refer to and follow the instructions under ‘How to make the Templates’ on page 2 of your pattern.

Prepare the Foundation Papers: Please refer to and follow the instructions under ‘Prepare the Foundation Papers’ on page 2 of your pattern. You only need to cut one page of each of the foundations papers prior to class. Judy will demonstrate an easier method of doing this in class!

Cutting Instructions: Please read through ‘Cutting Instructions’ on page 3 and 4 of your pattern before beginning the steps below. We recommend checking our website for pattern corrections before you begin cutting your fabric. If you are uncomfortable with completing the cutting instructions before class, just follow step 1 for each section. Note: Please make sure all of the Template Sheets, Foundation Sheets, and fabric pieces are placed in the correct bags!
