Information You Need To Know

All fabric requirements are based on 40/42-wide fabric. The yardage given includes an additional amount to account for fabricshrinkage and individual differences in cutting. A G seam allowance is included on pattern pieces when required. All measure-ments for pieces, sashing, and borders include G seam allowances. The finished quilt size is the size of the quilt before quilting.Because each quiltmaker usually has a personal preference for a particular type of batting, the type of batting to be used for eachquilt will not be listed, unless it is necessary to obtain a specific look. Fabric listed for binding includes yardage for straight-grainbinding. Due to variations in materials and equipment,McCalls Quiltingdisclaims any liability of untoward results in doing the projectspresented. BecauseMcCalls Quiltinghas no control over your choice of materials or procedures, neither McCalls Quiltingnor thevarious manufacturers assume any responsibility for the use of this data.
