Читать книгу Cathedral Window Quilts - Lynne Edwards - Страница 7

This section describes some of the basic equipment you will need for successful Cathedral Window patchwork. Much of this is equipment used for most patchwork techniques, but some may be new to you and one should never assume that everybody knows everything. There may well be a piece of equipment described here that will become your favourite tool in all your future projects – you just never knew about it before.

Cutting fabric accurately is important, for Cathedral Window blocks as well as other patchwork blocks, so cutting techniques are also described in some detail. In particular I deal with cutting squares rather than strips or small pieces as this seems to be an area that quilters are a little shaky on. They come up to me in workshops or at shows and say, ‘I bought this square ruler because I know it’s really useful but I can’t remember why’…Hopefully these instructions will help guide you through, because those rulers really are useful.
