General Tips for working with Cuddle
Pressing with Cuddle/Synthetic Fabrics:
You will need to turn your iron temperature down to the synthetic setting. I also recommend using a
pressing cloth when ironing. If your iron is too hot the ink will transfer to the hot iron and will need to
be cleaned off.
You can finger press Cuddle and it is easier to only press when working with cotton and Cuddle. If
you are sewing Cuddle to Cuddle, you do not need to use an iron on the seam.
Sewing with Cuddle:
• Use a Walking Foot for all assembly if possible. Cuddle is very thick and slippery. The walking foot helps move the fabric through the machine evenly.
• Pin the fabric pieces together every 2” to keep the fabrics from sliding while sewing. If one piece wants to curl up, put that piece on bottom when sewing.
• Use a Stretch 90/14 needle and increase stitch length.
• For more information go to: www.shannonfabrics.com/cuddle-tips-and-tricks-ezp-30.html
Block Assembly Directions
1) Place one 6 ½” Fabric D square on the top left corner of the 12 ½” Fabric A square, right sides together (Fig. 1). Sew across the diagonal of the smaller square from the upper right corner to the
lower left corner (Fig. 1). Flip open the triangle formed and press (Fig. 2). Trim away the excess
fabric from behind the triangle, ¼” away from the sewn seam.
2) Follow Fig. 3 for the seam direction to add a 6 ½” Fabric D square to each of the remaining
corners of the 12 ½” Fabric A square to make the center block (Fig. 4).

3) Place one 6 ½” Fabric C square on the left side of one 6 ½” x 12 ½” Fabric D
strip, right sides together (Fig. 5). Sew across the diagonal of the square from
the upper right corner to the lower left corner (Fig. 5). Flip open the triangle
formed and press (Fig. 6). Trim away the excess fabric from behind the triangle
leaving a ¼” seam allowance.

4) Place another 6 ½” Fabric C square on the right side of the 6 ½” x 12 ½”
Fabric D strip, right sides together (Fig. 7). Sew across the diagonal of the
square from the upper left corner to the lower right corner (Fig. 7). Flip open
the triangle formed and press. Trim away the excess from behind the triangle,
leaving a ¼” seam allowance. This completes one C/D/C unit (Fig. 8).

5) Repeat steps 3-4 to make four C/D/C units total.

6) Sew one C/D/C unit to each side of the center block. Sew one 6 ½” Fabric D square to each end
of one C/D/C unit. Repeat to make a second strip. Sew the strips to the top and bottom of the center
block to make the Center square (Fig. 9).
7) Sew one 3 ½” x 24 ½” Fabric E strip to each side of the center block. Sew one 3 ½” x 30 ½”
Fabric E strip to the top and bottom of the center block (Fig. 10).

8) Place one 5 ⅞” Fabric D square on top of one 5 7/8” Fabric C square, right sides together. Draw
a line across the diagonal of the top square (Fig. 11). Sew ¼” away from each side of the drawn
diagonal line (Fig. 11). Cut the two squares apart on the drawn diagonal line (Fig. 12) to make two
D/C units. Trim the units to measure 5 ½” square. Repeat to make thirty-two D/C units total (Fig. 13).
9) Sew four D/C units together to make one pinwheel block (Fig. 14). Repeat to make eight pinwheel
blocks.
10) Repeat steps 1-2 using eight 10 ½” Fabric A squares and thirty-two 5 ½” Fabric D squares to
make eight Square-in-a-Square blocks total (Fig. 15).

Quilt Top Assembly Directions

Quilt Top Assembly Directions (Refer to the quilt layout while making the quilt)
11) Sew two Square-in-a-Square blocks and one pinwheel block together to make one side border.
Repeat to make a second side border. Sew strips to each side of the center block.
12) Sew three pinwheel blocks and two Square-in-a-Square blocks together to make the top border.
Repeat to make the bottom border. Sew the borders to the center block.
13) Sew one 3 ½” x 50 ½” Fabric E strip to each side of the quilt top. Sew one 3 ½” x 56 ½” Fabric E
strip to the top and bottom of the quilt top.
14) Sew one 6 ½” x 68 ½” Fabric B strip to each side of the quilt top. Sew one 6 ½” x 56 ½” Fabric B
strip to the top and bottom of the quilt top.
15) Layer and quilt as desired.
16) Sew the five 2 ¼” x WOF Fabric C strips together, end-to-end, with 45° seams to make the
binding.
17) Align the binding strip raw edges (lengthwise) with the front of the quilt top, right sides together.
Use a ½” seam allowance to sew the binding strip to the quilt on all four sides.
18) Fold the binding strip to the back side of the quilt. Fold under the binding raw edge ¼” as you
sew the binding in place, along the back of the quilt. You can either hand sew the binding in place or
use a zig-zag stitch with thread that matches the binding color, to stitch the binding in place.
