Assembly Instructions

Step 1. In preparation for adding set-in patches, mark match points on wrong side of rotary cut patches (1B, 2D, 2DR, 3D) in the following manner. Using see-through acrylic ruler, make cross hairs in each corner by drawing a short line 1/4” from each raw edge at corner. Referring to Diagram I-A, stitch patch 1B to 3D, back stitching at match point. Add patch 2DR to make pieced unit. Repeat, replacing patch 2DR with 2D to make second pieced unit.
