I'm making a couple hundred of these 4" double 4 patches. I knew the Go cutter would be a lifesaver for this project. Bonnie mentioned she would show me a fast technique using her Studio cutter. I know Bonnie has all kinds of tricks up her sleeve so I brought a big bag of light and dark strips.
And sewed a bunch of them together.
Then she proceeded to demonstrate while I took some photos. Fold strips in half and cut.
Place them opposite colors together nestling the seams.
She has drawn lines on her 1.5" strip cutter- great idea! (corrected to read 1 1/2")
Line them up across the cutter, stacking about 6 layers (3 sets)
Place your cutting board over the top, roll it through and let the magic begin! I was having problems with the fabric sticking to the board and she showed me how to slide it off to one side to keep the fabric on the die. She then removed all little pieces, and stacked up the pairs.
And in short order I had 100+ 4 patches!!
I was so excited! Thanks again Bonnie for the tutorial!
I'd love to hear any tips and tricks that you have learned with your cutter. I'm new at it and am still learning.
