MODULE 1 • Lesson Prep
| Step | Description |
|---|---|
| 1 | Prepare two pieces of double-face wool fabric, 4” (10.2cm) in the width grain by 5” (12.7cm) in the length grain. We have chosen a two-tone fabric for demo purposes. |
| 2 | Since we will be doing a fair amount of basting for this lesson, we will be using 100% cotton embroidery thread for basting. Cotton embroidery thread is heavier than regular cotton thread and easier to use for basting. You will also need a pair of very sharp pointed-edge embroidery scissors. |
| 3 | Cut an 18” (45.7cm) length of cotton embroidery thread and separate a single strand. We will be using only one strand for basting. |
