Cutting Instructions:
Note: When
paper-piecing, I cut larger pieces than I actually need to ensure that
I won't have problem covering an area if I don't place it in exactly
the right spot. The cutting instructions below are for larger
pieces. If you'd rather cut smaller, more exact pieces, feel free to
do so.
Instructions:
Step 1: Print out the paper foundation pattern. Cut out each of the two paper-piecing units just outside of the dashed lines of the seam allowance.
Step 2:
Using a VERY short stitch length setting on your sewing machine,
paper-piece each unit following the numbers on the printed foundation.
Step 3:
When both of the two units have been pieced, carefully trim away the
excess paper and fabric by cutting on the dashed lines of the seam
allowance.
Step 4: With right sides together, layer Unit
B on Unit A. Pin in place, then stitch together using a 1/4" seam
allowance. Remove the paper from the seam allowance (on both
sides) and press this seam open.
Step 5: Carefully remove the paper from the back of the block.
Step 6: Lightly
trace the face pattern on the right side of the cat's face. Using 2
strands of embroidery floss, outline stitch the mouth and satin stitch
the nose and eyes.
