Notes:

Sample is on Kona white with Quilters Dream cotton batting in Select weight

Before class, please do the following:

1. Cut fabric into fat quarters by first cutting into 18 inch pieces, then cutting on the fold.
2. Cut your long piece of batting into four pieces that are approximately 20 x 24. Save any leftovers for practice later.
3. Sandwich each of the batting pieces between two pieces of fabric. You can pin or spray baste if you wish, but you don’t have to – the friction will be enough to keep them together and these are just for practice.
4. Wind a couple of bobbins of thread.
