Island Sunrise Pre-class Cutting and Supply List Judy Niemeyer Quilting, www.quiltworx.com

Pre-cutting the fabrics is a mandatory requirement prior to taking this course. Sew Many Things is offering a FREE Pre-cutting Class on Wednesday, April 19th, 2016 at 6pm. If you can’t attend the pre-cutting class, please begin preparing for class at least 1-WEEK prior to the class to make sure that you are able to get familiar with your pattern and complete the pre-cutting instructions below beforehand. It is important that you have your pre-class cutting completed. If this step is not completed, you will have a very difficult time keeping up and participating in the instruction. We recommend reading through your entire pattern before beginning. Fabric Selection: Choose 9 bright textured batiks, ranging from light to medium and 12 dark textured batiks, ranging from medium to dark. Refer to the yardage chart on the backside of your pattern. Note: Fabric calculations are based on 42" wide fabric. If your fabric does not measure 42" you may want to consider buying a little extra yardage to compensate. Preparing the Template Sheets and Foundation Papers: Please read through 'General Information You Should Know' on page 2 of your pattern. Make sure to copy the S-1 and S-2 template as stated under 'Choosing Fabric Colors:'. Cutting Instructions: Please read through 'Background Pieces' on Page 2 and 'Spikes' on page 3 of your pattern before beginning the steps below. We recommend checking our website for pattern corrections before you begin cutting your fabric. Please refer to the cutting illustration on page 5 of your pattern for the placement of your templates, as you cut your fabric. Note: After the cutting is completed please make sure all the Template Sheets, Foundation Sheets, and fabric pieces are placed in the correct bags before coming to class! Background Pieces: Complete steps 1 - 4 under 'Background Pieces' on page 2 of your pattern. Place each group of colors into its own bag. Do not sub cut the Template sheets (step 5) as Julie will demonstrate this in class! Spikes: Complete steps 1 & 2 on page 3 of your pattern under 'Spikes'. Clip pieces together using large paper clips or binder clips and place in the Bags specified. Center Templates: Complete the instruction on page 3 of your pattern under 'Center Templates'. Clip pieces together using large paper clips or binder clips and place in the Bags specified.
