THIS KIT INCLUDES TIPS FOR SUCCESS

PATTERN: This kit includes a printed version of your pattern – be sure to read through your entire pattern before you begin cutting your fabrics! In some cases, a digital version of your pattern may be available for download in your pattern library. Simply log in to your Craftsy account to access it. If for any reason a newer version of your pattern becomes available, we’ll send you an email with instructions about how to access it.

BL ADE: Is your rotary blade sharp and ready? A sharp blade will require you to use less energy when cutting! If you see small threads still intact when you cut through your fabric, that’s a good indication it’s time to change your blade.

MACHINE: Prepare for sewing success by ensuring that your sewing machine needle is sharp. Are you experiencing breakage of your top thread, or skipped stitches? Do you hear a quiet popping sound when your needles move through the fabric? These are all signs that your needle is dull and it’s time for a change.
