Tips for Sewing a Minky Fabric Stocking (with AccuQuilt Die)
- Cut up to two layers of Cuddle® at a time.
- Lay Cuddle® wrong side against the blade to cut.
- If using Luxe Cuddle®, cut cuffs individually with scissors (rather than the die).
- When using Luxe Cuddle® for the cuff, use one layer and leave a raw edge.
- Fuse interfacing to Cuddle® (optional) with a medium heat iron and a pressing cloth.
- Quilt Cuddle® 3 prior to cutting to add visual interest.
- Add appliques such as the AccuQuilt Gingerbread Cookie die.
