Pre-Cuts Session 1: Intro/Overview

Pre-cut fabrics are designed to save you time and ensure precision piecing for all of your quilting projects. They're coordinated fabrics that are hard to resist at the quilt shop. And they come in pre-packaged segments that are easy to pick up and easy to become addicted to. They're great for people with arthritis, kids, new quilters, old quilters, anyone. Because you don't have to do so much cutting.

We're gonna start you off today with a pre-cut primer. Where you're going to become pre-cut savvy. We're gonna talk about the different types of pre-cuts and show you the similarities and the differences between each one. We're also going to show you all about the math that you need to know, to effectively use these assorted fabrics that typically come from a collection. And can be in all different ranges, from a single color, to boutiques, to patterns, to prints, to holiday collections.

You name it, there's a pre-cut for it. And you're gonna have fun with it. We're also gonna give you some tips for how to make your own pre-cuts, if you'd like. And then we're going to do, what works and what doesn't work. Because some of these pre-cuts play together very, very nicely but some of them don't play as well.

And I'm gonna show you some tips, for how to make sure they all work together. And also to save you from making future mistakes with pre-cuts. We're also gonna learn to think out of the box. We're gonna look at quilts and patterns in a whole different way. And play a segment of, what if.

I want you to start working smarter, not harder. And pre-cuts are a good way to do that. Sometimes though, you need a little bit of inspiration. And in that segment, I'm going to show you how to get past quilters paralysis, with the latest must-have magazines and books, that are designed just for pre-cuts. It's a great way to build your library.

And I think you're gonna like these reference materials. Finally, we're gonna put it all together with our bonus project, which is called, red hot hearts. It's an adorable little quilt that we used jelly rolls and charms to create. And we're also gonna teach you a little bit about to raw edge applique. And best of all, you can make this quilt in less than a day.

You don't have to take notes. We're gonna have lots of downloadable PDFs for you. So I want you to sit back, listen and start getting hooked on pre-cuts.
