Learn to Make a Foundation Pieced Quilt - Linda Causee
Patterns
General Instructions
Foundation piecing is the technique of sewing patchwork onto a foundation such as paper, fabric or stabilizer following a numerical sequence. The stitching lines are drawn, traced or transferred onto the foundation. The fabric pieces are placed on the unmarked side of the foundation, and then sewn from the marked side. Foundation piecing allows you to piece even the tiniest pieces accurately since all sewing follows drawn lines. This technique can be done either by machine or by hand, so you can take your blocks with you and stitch wherever you go.
Foundation Material
First, you must decide what type of foundation to use for piecing your blocks. There are several options. A light-color, lightweight cotton fabric and muslin are popular choices. Either fabric is see-through enough for tracing and will give your blocks extra stability. Of course, a fabric foundation adds another layer of fabric through which you will have to quilt. If you plan to hand-quilt, the extra thickness can make that quilting process a little more difficult.
Another choice for foundations is paper. For easy tracing, use any paper you can see through (notebook paper, copy paper, newsprint or computer paper), and then tear it away after sewing.
A third choice is tear-away stabilizer. Like muslin, it is light enough to see through for tracing, but like paper, it can be easily removed before quilting.
Preparing the Foundation
Tracing the Block
Trace the block pattern carefully onto your chosen foundation material. Use a ruler and a fine-point permanent marker to make straight lines and be sure to include all numbers. Draw a line ¼" from the outside edges of the block (Figure 1); cut along outside drawn line. Repeat for the number of blocks needed for your quilt.
