Part 3 of the Beginning Quilting Series When looking for a quilt
design, there are a myriad of quilt pattern options to choose
from. That can be a little overwhelming. Here are a few basics
that might help. Most quilting patterns have some things in
common: A list of fabric requirements and directions for cutting
the fabric, assembling the pieces, and laying out the quilt.
Some tips to consider when working with most quilt patterns: -
It’s a good idea to read the pattern all the way through before
you start cutting into your fabric or sewing – helps to get ‘the
big picture’ of the project. - Some patterns give experience
levels such as Beginner, Intermediate and Advanced. Start with
something simple for your first projects and save the more
advanced designs after you’ve gained some confidence. Saves some
possible frustration. - Patterns can be found individually
packaged, in books, magazines or online. ModaBakeShop.com
