Prepare all your blocks like this. No to sew two blocks together. Place two blocks together right sides fac-ing. You will only be sewing the front fabric - not the batting, stabilizer or backing fabric. Sew the front fab-rics together with a 1/2”seam. Trim the seam back to 1/4”. Using the craft iron, press the fabric seam to one side. I alternate which way I press the seam so I don’t have thick areas to stitch through when putting

the pieces together.

Using a pair of regular scissors, trim back the batting and stabilizer to the stitch guide.

Using the craft iron, press the batting and stabilizer flat.

Cut a piece of fusible bias tape the 1” short of the length of the batting/stabilizer from the top and bottom and use the craft iron to heat set the tape. The tape needs to cover the two pieces of batting and stabilizer.

Remove the paper backing. Fold the left lining fabric over the tape and heat set in place using the craft iron.

Turn in 1/4”on the other piece to create a neat edge. Cut another piece of fusible tape and heat set it to the piece that has just been folded in.

Heat press the folded edge over the bias tape.

Using a stitch in the ditch foot, and sewing on the right side, sew in the ditch of the two blocks. This stitch-

es the lining fabric flap at the back, neatly in place.

Continue in this method to sew your blocks together, first in rows and then sew the rows together.
