Foundation Piecing Primer: Part 3

0 people love this

E Place white triangle right side to unprinted side of foundation, with long edge of triangle along seamline between #2 and #3. The triangle should be behind #2, with only a seam allowance extending behind the #3 position. Note: From now on, all fabrics are placed right sides to the paper. In this design, all triangles are placed and stitched along their long sides.

 

F Place, stitch, trim, and press remaining fabrics, following number order until you have finished piecing the entire block. Trim darker seam allowances narrower than light ones, to avoid show-through. Be sure to allow extra fabric beyond the edges of the paper foundation.

Note:
Do not cut fabric along edge of paper! Turn block paper side up and align 1/4" mark of ruler along edge of paper foundation. Rotary cut away extra fabric on all four sides, creating a perfect 1/4" seam allowance. Leave paper in!
