Episode 3: Precision Fabric Cutting, Part 1

Welcome to the Neighborhood! In the third episode of My Quilty Neighborhood, Jennifer and Dawn discuss the second in the triangle of skills you must master as a quilter--cutting accurately. If you struggle with your quarter inch or with getting your blocks to come out the right size, cutting may be the issue. This important topic is split over several episodes. In this episode, we discuss fabric terms, prewashing, and properly folding your fabric for cutting. 🥰 We had so much to discuss, we've broken this topic into several parts!
