Tuffet Class - Round
Quilter’s Cocoon
Tuffet Workshop Supply Sheet
Pre-class instructions – cut fusible in two pieces (do not cut panels apart yet) cut advertising off so it will fit nicely on your muslin. Fuse the fusible to muslin and cut the eight panels out and bring to class.
Arranging your layout can be time consuming for some people. (most quilter’s don’t do scrappy well) Arrange fabrics in 8 stacks of 8 fabrics each in the order you want them to look on your tuffet. If you are going with the scrappy look arranging isn’t necessary.
If you did not purchase your kit from Quilter's Cocoon most likely the t-nuts are not installed and the foam is not adhered to the foam. You must install your t-buts and adhere your foam prior to class. Quilter's Cocoon is not responsible if your legs do not sit straight.
