GRIMOIRE Sewalong - Week 2
Welcome back for week 2!
We’re ready to dive in and start making our FPP frames this week. (If you're just making separate blocks, go ahead and start with those!)
FPP 101
For those of you who are new to FPP, there's a FPP 101 in the pattern on page 16/17 that walks you through the first piece.
If anything is unclear or you're not getting the hang of FPP quite yet after that, there's plenty of resources online to help. One of our designers, Jennifer Larimore of Nerdy Quilter Designs has a nice beginner FPP blog post , or if you prefer a YouTube tutorial, some of our designers recommend this one by Etive & Co.
Start your frame!
With your pre-creased template and fabric by your side, you can go ahead and start with the first piece. And then the next.. and the next ;) Until you have all the separate pieces needed for your Banner or your Twin Quilt. Leave all the papers in for now, we won't remove those until later.
If you're having trouble lining up your points, I'll have a video up on Instagram on Thursday that shows the process visually. I'll also be sharing a video this week about FPP oopsies that may be helpful if you mess up! Keep an eye out for those.
Safety tip:
A cut-resistant glove with gripping dots will make cutting safer (I use the NoCry brand, make sure you measure your hand for a snug fit!)
I'm looking forward to seeing your frame pieces come together!
I'd love to see your progress! If you post on Instagram or Facebook, make sure you tag me @GingerlyQuiltCo, so I can see and reshare your work ❤️
