Pre-Class Instructions
Please read the instructions for your pattern completely through at least one
time before class. This will help to ensure you understand the cutting
information. It is strongly encouraged that you have the papers, templates,
and fabrics for the entire project cut out, placed in bags, and ready to use
in class. Check the Quiltworx website for pattern corrections before you begin
the project. Corrections can be found at this link:

Quiltworx YouTube Videos: Judy Niemeyer has many videos on YouTube that
cover a variety of topics. If you are a very visual person these can be an
invaluable resource to give you some additional background or refresh your
memory after class on a topic. A few videos you may find useful include:
- The Basics of Foundation Papers o Tools for Paper Pieced Quilting with Judy Niemeyer
- Paperwork First: Prepare for Cutting a Quiltworx Project
Fabric Selection
If you need help with fabric selection, feel free to work with the ladies at
The Quilt Crossing.
Check out Pinterest or www.quiltworx.com for many
photos of finished projects.
Foundation Papers: The cutting instructions for the Foundation Papers and Template Layout Sheets will generally be described at the beginning of the pattern. As you cut these out the pieces will be organized into bags.
Fabric Cutting Instructions: Cutting instructions may appear in two ways.
For older patterns, all fabric cutting may be listed at the start of the
pattern. For later patterns, fabric cutting may be done as you work on a set
of units. In either case, bag the papers and fabrics as noted in the pattern
to stay organized. If you have any questions regarding the class preparation,
please contact me directly at: 208-5703290.
We appreciate it when you buy your class supplies from us – these purchases
enable us to offer a robust class schedule and keep your dollars local.
Cancellation Policy: We must commit to our teachers and to other students
one week before the class begins so we can’t give refunds or transfers after
that time (unless we can fill your spot from the waiting list). You are
welcome to send someone in your place if you are unable to come. If enrollment
has not met the minimum required for the class, we will cancel it one week
before the first session. We love your kids, but your fellow students left
theirs at home and hope you will too.
