Build a Boundary Blueprint of Your Quilt by Page Johnson
Custom quilting turns out better with a plan. Students will use Draw Line, Circle Array, Repeat Patterns and Mirror, to create a “to scale” Boundary. While auditioning designs you will be able to view how separate designs interact and the overall stitch density. Practice your quilting path virtually and cut down on machine time later. Blueprints will quickly become one of your most valuable quilting tools. Students must have a laptop with the current version of CS loaded and a wired mouse. They will receive a project with imported images, and patterns.
