We hope everyone is having fun mixing + matching their fabric pieces!
Here are the steps to help you get started and make the most of Week 2:
- Review the cutting instructions
- Prepare your templates - print out of Double Time Concave & Convex templates at 100%, template plastic/plastic placemat or bristol board, glue stick, paper scissors
- OR Pathways Ruler
- Tools at the ready : Rotary cutter, cutting mat, Frixion marker/marking tool, pins, fabric scissors
- Sewing Machine : thread, washi tape to mark your quarter inch line, optional : quarter inch foot
- Sew A Test Block - check the final measurements, your block should be around 7.5" once sewn
