To Do Before Class Wash/Dry Fabric • •
Washing & drying fabric is up to you. But if you have any red in your fabric, I strongly suggest that you wash the fabric.
Starch & Press Fabric • •
Spray with Best Press or other starch alternative. Press fabric.
Cut Fabric Squares • •
From each fabric, cut twenty (20) 8 ½" squares. You can include selvages in the squares. You will have a total of 40 squares (20 from each of your two fabrics).
Cut Interfacing •
Cut the Pellon ShirTailor fusible interfacing into forty (40) 8 ½" squares.
Fuse Interfacing to Fabric 1. Fuse Pellon ShirTailor interfacing to wrong side of fabric squares following manufacturer’s instructions. A press makes this job easier and faster. 2. Draw a short line or an X on the interfaced side of fabric you have chosen for the “window” side (multi-color batik in above sample).
