Use the Giant Dahlia Template Set to Make a Christmas Tree Skirt

Marti showed this piecing technique on "Simply Quilts" Episode 550

1. Using a strip of tape, mark a new cutting line on "piece a", just above the asterisk on the template. This is approximate and should be adequate for any size tree trunk. Mark the three dots. (The dot for the tip of the a piece is not needed.)

2. Sew the a pieces into pairs as shown in the instructions, but use dot-to-edge sewing, not dot-to-dot.

3. Substitute the diagram below for diagram 3A. Trim any uneven edges along the circular opening. Sew all the units together, leaving the last seam unsewn.

4. Follow the Giant Dahlia instructions. Sew the arcs together, leaving the last seam unsewn.

5. Layer and quilt. Bind with bias tape. OR line the tree skirt, leaving an opening on one edge. Turn through the opening and sew the opening closed.

 

Why Choose Our Products?

Quilters Love Perfect Patchwork Templates!

They are PERFECT for:
• Rotary cutters–Cut multiple layers at one time • Shapes and sizes–Specific-size 1/8-inch thick acrylic pieces. No guessing which line to use on a ruler • 1/4-inch seam allowances already added • Laser cut accuracy on every piece • Corners–Not just blunt but revolutionary double blunt corners engineered for perfect alignment • Permanent identification system • Companion tools for strip cutting and piecing techniques.

Our template sets for rotary cutting feature special engineered corners that automatically reduce bulk. This revolutionary corner concept means cutting pieces that match perfectly–

• No pinning or guessing required • No more "dog ears" ensnared by the throat plate • No shadowing through light fabrics • No going back after sewing to trim excess bulk ~ it's trimmed away at the same time the pieces are cut.• The thick acrylic templates mean you can rotary-cut multiple layers of fabric at one time.
