MAKE BASTED UNITS

Designer Jody Sanders used the

English paper piecing technique

specified in these instructions to

make her pincushion.

The patterns are on Pattern

Sheet 2. You will need a paper

template for each piece of the

pincushion.

1. On sturdy paper, use a pencil to
   trace Pattern A seven times, Pattern
   B 12 times, Pattern C six times, and
   Pattern D once.


2. Carefully and accurately cut out
   paper templates on traced lines.


3. Place a tone-on-tone 3 " square
   wrong side up on a flat surface.
   Using a glue pen, apply a small
   dab of glue to middle of square.
   Top with an A hexagon template
   (Diagram 1). Cut out a fabric
   A hexagon, adding a^3 ⁄ 8 " seam
   allowance to all edges. (Your seam
   allowances do not have to be exact
   because the paper template will be
   CUT FABRICS an accurate guide.)
   Cut pieces in the following order.

   Units, Step 3), you will add a^3 ⁄ 8 " seam
   allowance.
