Unique Wash-out Marker Marking fabric can give us all a little anxiety; will the ink really come out?

Fear no more! We have tried and tested this marker on every fabric and it has never failed to wash out. It is great for marking stitching lines, quilting designs or appliqué.

Sew Easy Ruler and Template Stand It is never too late to get organized!

Before getting a start on that next quilting project clean up your workspace.

The Sew Easy Ruler and Template Stand sits on your sewing or cutting table and holds a variety of rulers and templates upright - ready to use but out of the way.

The ruler stand is made of sturdy plastic and has storage slots that are wide enough to accommodate 1/8" thick rulers and templates. Its non-slip rubber feet keep it in place on your surface.

Fons & Porter Machine Quilting Grip Gloves Shifting large quilts through your machine doesn’t need to be a constant battle. The Fons & Porter Machine Quilting Grip Gloves have rubber fingers and palm grips allowing you to hold the fabric securely and guide it where you want to go. Plus they are lightweight and 100% breathable cotton, no more slippery hands while quilting!

Unique Seam Ripper We all make mistakes, that’s just life! As long as we’re going to make mistakes we might as well fix them in comfort. The Unique Seam Ripper has one of the best bodies around. The handle is comfortable to hold. If you find yourself with seams to rip this is the seam ripper you want to use to avoid cramped hands, The Unique Seam Ripper is sharp and has a ball on the opposite tip to protect the fabric from unwanted damage while using.

ODIF 505 This spray is a total game changer!

Say goodbye to spending hours on the floor basting your quilt with safety pins. The ODIF 505 temporary adhesive spray will secure your layers together until you wash your finished product.

It can be repositioned and is odorless.

It’s fast and easy to use and you might actually enjoy basting now!

side.

We are using Vogue 1563 and made the following changes.

We joined our back piece to make one full back piece instead of a piece cut on the fold. Simply trace out the pattern marking the fold line and flip it along this line and trace out the other side.

QUILTING SIZING Once you have reviewed your pieces, measure the back piece for the full width and length. This will be the width and length needed for your back panel of quilting.

We are doing a size 12 so our full back with is 25" and our length is 38" For our size we need the row to be slightly wider than 25" so we are doing four 6 1/2" finished half square triangles across to give us 26 1/2" width.

For our length we will need 6 rows to give us 39 1/2" We will use 6 1/2" finished size HST for all our other pieces. *For wider or longer coat patterns you will need to adjust the size of the HST

TIPS

Sleeve: 1 row wide x 5 full rows high.

Do not cut out any pattern pieces until you have quilted your blocks.

Do not cut any pieces on the fold. Cut on the flat by tracing your pattern piece and then flipping it to trace the other side.

PATTERN MATCHING Once we have our full back piece block we can start to match the pattern to our other pieces. The best way to do this is to have all the bottom edges of the pattern pieces lined up with the bottom of the quilt blocks.

Upper collar and front facing: 2 blocks wide x 7 rows high.

To match these pieces we will line the bottom edge of the lower front up with the bottom edge of our quilt piece.

This shows us we need to make 2 piece’s that are 3 blocks wide x 3 rows high.

Upper Front: 3 blocks wide x 4 rows high.

Lower Front: 3 blocks wide x 3 rows high.

We then take our upper front and overlap the seam allowance on the lower front. This shows us where the bottom of the upper front will lie.

We will need to make 2 piece’s that are 3 blocks wide x 4 rows high.

Pocket: 2 blocks wide x 1 row high.

QUILTING Prior to cutting and sewing your pieces together you will need to quilt your pieces. You have two options:

1. Quilt top > Batting > Backing

With this method we would bind the seams and not line

the jacket

2. Quilt Top > Batting > Lining

We used this method and lined our jacket.

Continue matching your pattern pieces up until you have block and row amounts for each piece.
