PLANNING YOUR QUILT - USING YOUR TEMPLATES
With over 200 unique quilt blocks included in Americana, a little advanced planning will go
a long way in your design process. Part of the patriotic charm of these quilts comes from the
patchwork look achieved when piecing them together. To make the process easier, we have
included paper templates for each design file to remove the frustration of planning! This
section will show you how to utilize the paper templates to make a customized quilt. You will
find these paper templates on your Design CD under the “Mini Templates” folder.
Using a rotary blade and ruler, trim along the guidelines in
between each design.
Once you finish, you’ll have your quilt layout and can now
move on to stitching out each design! Consider taping the
pieces together so that you don’t lose your layout!
Begin by printing the templates for each design that you’re
interested in stitching out.
Play around with some different layout options and see
which ones you like the best. Use the combination square
examples on the following pages to help.
