Alphabet Quilt – Cutting Blocks
Posted in Applique, Machine Embroidery, Quilting on Feb 1st, 2010
I’ve started cutting my alphabet blocks. I used template plastic, which I’ve never used before, to fussy cut the squares. At first I tried to use my rotary cutter, but that was a bit of a failure. Now I draw around the shape with a disappearing pen and then cut it out using scissors.
