Pre-cutting the fabrics is a mandatory requirement prior to taking this course. Please begin preparing for class at least 2-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 three different colorways displayed on the cover of the Mini Stars Tablerunner. We also have pictures of a sample with a dark background on our website. The possibilities are endless with this tablerunner! Please refer to the yardage charts on the back of your patterns.

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

Prepare the Foundation Papers: Please refer to and follow the instructions under ‘Foundation Papers’ on page 2 of your pattern. You only need to cut one page 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 for (1) Table Runner’ on page 2 and 3 of your pattern before beginning the steps below. We recommend checking our website for pattern corrections before you begin cutting your fabric. Note: Please make sure all of the Template Sheets, Foundation Sheets, and fabric pieces are placed in the correct bags!
