BEFORE CLASS: Please precut all of your bag shapes & interfacing prior to our first class. You will need to allow a few days to do your precut- It will take a whole day or at the very least a couple of afternoons....Also please read the pattern prior to your precut - this will really help! You can cut the pattern shapes out that are included in the pattern or we reccomend tracing them and cutting them out on Reynolds Freezer Paper (from the supermarket) so that you can iron them (shiny side down) directly to the fabric and then cut your shape out. Please follow the instructions for cutting your fabrics, SF101 interfacing and stiff interfacing on Page 1, Steps 1 & 2 of the pattern. You can also refer to each pattern shape for quantiies of each shape, interfacing etc. needed. (They do vary fom shape to shape so take note). Do not cut the strips for the cording as explained in Step 3 of the pattern. When you are complete with precutting, sandwich the Peltex 71 Stiff Fusible Interfacing (remember - these pieces should be 1/2” smaller all around from your fabric pieces as directed in the pattern) between the Exterior Main Panel/Main Pocket Panels and fuse the SF 101 lightweight interfacing to the WRONG side. Also fuse the remaining lightweight interfacing to the other pattern pieces. Please call us for assistantce if you have any questions at all. You are done and ready for class! If you need assistance with your precutting or fusing, we are here to help and you can make an appointment for precuting by calling the shop at 910-215-5981!
