Classes with Carolyn Forster • Educational, G, 09-Jun-2023

This beautiful block can be hand or machine pieced. Carolyn Forster uses a set of templates to rotary cut the pieces for this block. Making the cutting  particularly easy to fussy cut when using a variety of fabrics, directional fabrics or even one fabric.

Markings on the templates show where to stop when machine or hand sewing. Thus making it simple to stitch and pivot as you set in the pieces.

There are tips on using freezer paper for applique, pressing for machine and hand sewing as well as pinning to improve accuracy.

Carolyn shows some beautiful samples for varying the blocks along with various other uses for the templates.

A totally versatile template set that will help you to produce stunning blocks
