Inspiration from our Pattern Testers
Special thanks to our pattern testers, who not only check for errors, but make sure that our patterns are written as clearly as possible. They also do some fabulous sewing!
TESTER: Jennifer @taughtbymomquilts
FABRIC: De La Luna by Tula Pink for FreeSpirit Fabrics
TIPS: “Very straightforward project, unless you try to fussy cut the main fabric. If you do want to fussy cut, hold the directional fabric and templates up to a window or a light box. That Purple Thang is your friend, and the tip to use pinking shears is spot on!”
TESTER: Kelly @kstevens_16
FABRIC: Sagewood by Moda
TIPS: “I like to backstitch a few stitches before and after the 90 degree turns. I feel this tightens the corner and makes the end product look nicer after it’s turned right side out. Lengthen your stitch length when topstitching. It always gives a nicer look.”
TESTER: Kristen @stitchfabriccompany
FABRIC: Slow and Steady, Parisville Deja Vu, and True Colors by Tula Pink for FreeSpirit Fabrics
TIPS: “I found the pattern very easy and a great way to use up scraps.”
TESTER: Nyree
FABRIC: Ombre faux leather and batik
TIPS: “The closure for the Flap Case could be hook & loop tape, with the stitching on front obscured by a ByAnnie Leather Label.” (See photo of case front below.)
TESTER: Randi @randisroost
FABRIC: Tree of Life by August Wren for Dear Stella
TIPS: “Use a 1/4" zipper foot when sewing close to the snap. Use the eraser end of a pencil to poke out the corners.”
TESTER: Sandy
FABRIC: Wallflower and Chambray Plaid by Tilda
TIPS: “The ByAnnie Stiletto and Pressing Tool was very helpful!”
