Easy Peasy Trees Template Set

Our Templates are made to make your cutting easier and more accurate. The no-slip material creates a vacuum seal and locks up to 32 layers of fabric in place. Most people feel comfortable cutting 8-12 layers without sacrificing the accuracy. If you don’t cut straight, you’re never going to sew straight and you won’t have a perfect quilt. Because the material locks your fabric in place, you just need to lay the template on your fabric and turn to make your cuts. No more measure-cut, measure-cut, measure-cut, etc. The templates, like our rulers, are cut on a laser machine, so we know they were made with 100% accuracy. They can help you cut out enough blocks for a king-size quilt in a matter of minutes. We’ve got tons of different shapes and sizes, so be sure to check them out.

Easy Peasy Trees

Directions:

 Step 1:

·         Cut three (3) trees of two different fabric choices if designing a two toned tree or cut six (6) trees of one color for a tree all one color. 

·         You will place the tree template with the straight edge on the fold of the fabric when cutting out the fabrics.

 Step 2:

·         Place two tree panels (one on top of each other) right sides together and sew at 1/4 and 3/8 inch seam allowances leaving bottom open on each tree section about five (5) -six (6) inches to allow for stuffing at a later time.

·         Clip seam allowances in the curves and tree branch points trimming seam allowances slightly.

 Step 3: 

·         Turn tree panel right side out and press. (Do all six panels like this to have a set of three after pressing.)

 Step 4: 

·         Place all three panels on top of each other equally and pin into place matching branches, points, etc.

·         After pinning, baste down the center two times for support.

 Step 5: 

·         Stuff tightly with stuffing of your choice.

Step 6: 

·         After filling the tree with the stuffing, whipstitch or hand stitch closed the opening area you used for stuffing, tucking in the seams equally and stand tree upright.

·          These trees will stand on their own with the branches curving upwards and after a bit of practice you will become a pro at them.
