file and charge $25 each month for 4 months. You will receive the pattern when you sign up for the class. We
will work on two rows per class. Note: class will be canceled if there are not at least 8 students.
Supplies:
Pattern, sewing machine in good working order with .” foot, machine manual, cutting mat, medium and small
rulers, rotary cutter with fresh blade, regular quilting notions, fabric glue stick if you have one, small iron and
pad, marking pen or pencil. Because there are so many seams, I recommend that you use a strong, thin thread
like Aurifil 50wt. Due to there being so many seams, we will also spend time in the first class perfecting your
“scant” . “
Preparation:
Recommendation...not necessary but I found extremely helpful in making this quilt. I starch heavy and
recommend it for this pattern because there are so very many small pieces that are apt to fray with the
amount of handling they will receive. Here’s how I starch. I take a large piece of plastic (I use shower curtain
liner or plastic table cloth from the $1 store), lay it on the floor, lay my fabric face down and slather it with
spray starch. Leave it on the floor to dry and then press it with steam. No need to iron it dry...too much time
consuming work. Important note: After you have used the plastic turn it over and use a fresh side to avoid
flakes from the previous spray getting on your fabric. Do the starching before you cut the fabric.
