Rotary Cutter, Mat, Ruler

Pattern Templates: 16 Tone Swirl Option Page #6- Trim templates on the black line (FYI, I trimmed 1/4’ away from
the black line so I could see the black line just outside my ruler to rotary cut exactly on the line). Follow the diagram
to lay out the templates on the fabric stacks and pin through all layers. Now cut the black line off.
Stack all the templates with circles together to match circles and tape together. Then pin them on the stack.
(FYI – I pinned templates through all plies because the glue stuck to the top fabric and the ones underneath wanted
to move.) Stack up the templates/fabric in each stack in order for sewing. - Supplies – Class 2 Accurate Piecing.

We will begin piecing in the center and work out. I will guide you with hints for accuracy as most pieces have
1-4 bias sides which makes them stretchy which is good and bad. Save all your scraps.
