Product Usage Instruction

Print the pattern page using Adobe Acrobat and ensure that the 1 test square is measured correctly for scale. The printer settings should be set to 100%.
Cut the fabrics according to the dimensions specified in the cut chart above.
Apply the top border fabric, right sides together (RST), and sew with a 1/4 inch seam allowance. Repeat this step with the side, bottom, and side border strips. Press the seams towards the border pieces.
Trace the Shamrock shape onto the fusible web. Roughly cut around the shape and press it onto the back of the green scrap fabric using a hot iron. Carefully cut around the applique shape, peel off the paper backing, and use a hot iron to press the applique onto the block.
Place the cotton batting behind the block and sew around the applique using your preferred stitch. A straight stitch is used in the video tutorial. Pull the threads to the back.
Add the backing fabric to the layers and square up the block.
Place the backing fabric and main fabric, right sides together (RST), and sew around the shape with a 1/4 inch seam allowance. Leave an opening for turning.
Turn the coaster right side out, push out the corners, tuck the opening in on itself, and press. Finally, topstitch around the outer edge. If any errors are found in the pattern or instructions, please notify Shamrock Coaster Pattern & Instructions for correction. For additional guidance, a sewing video tutorial is available.
