ALWAYS:

• Read through the entire pattern before you begin your project. • Purchase quality, 100 percent cotton fabrics. • When considering prewashing, do so with ALL of the fabrics being used. Generally, prewashing is not required in quilting. • Use 1/4" seam allowance for all stitching unless otherwise instructed. • Use a short-to-medium stitch length. • Make sure your seams are accurate.
