Tips for Using the Stained Glass Patterns for Sewing Projects
You will need to print several copies to use as a pattern for a sewing project such as quilts, pillow shams, or wall hangings. By doing this, you will be able to cut out the different sections if you are going to use them for quilt blocks.
For the stained glass look, use black piping. This will create the lead came appearance.
Hand sewing may need to be used when sewing the blocks since some of the designs has small sections.
When the lead came is used for small sections, use black fabric or thicker black piping.
Color one design to decide the fabric colors for your blocks. This can help with your fabric shopping. Although, each block can be made in different colors of fabric.
