When printing the templates, I prefer to use a lightweight recycled paper, which you can find at your local Office Supply store. Please see the following page for paper piecing instructions. Printing directions: - Remember to select Do Not Scale in dialogue box. - Measure the square to check for printing accuracy.

4 PAPER PIECING INSTRUCTIONS continued. Using the HRT Paper Piece Block A template, position fabric A right side up over area (Ink side down) and extend the block over the trim line (Figure ).. Place fabric E right side down over fabric A and extend fabric E ¼ into area (Figure ). 3. Hold/Pin the fabric pieces together and flip the entire stack over. Using a.5mm stitch length, sew along the marked lines between area and, backstitching at the beginning and end (Figure 3). 4. Trim backstitching threads then fold the paper template back along the seam line between area and and trim the fabric ¼ from the fold/seam line with a ruler and rotary cutter (Figure 4). Unfold the paper and press the seams to one side. 5. With the paper side facing up, trim around the template (Figure 5). Repeat steps -5 until you have created one HRT Block A and one HRT Block B in each Kona Cotton color (Fabric A-D). There will be eight blocks total, four of Block A and four of Block B.
