Drunkard's Path Patchwork Template Sets Tutorial

We suggest adding 1/4” wide strips along each straight edge of each template on the inside of the engraved 1/4” seam allowance line. See the picture below.

Helpful Cutting Hints
Use a sharp rotary cutting blade. Use either a 28 mm or 45 mm rotary cutter blade. Experience suggests that the 28 mm size tends to work better when cutting
tighter curves and cutting slits.
Always cut slits away from yourself by putting the rotary cutter on the inside end of the slit and cutting to the edge of the template.
Cut slits must and need not extend inside the 1/4” seam allowance line. This will not occur with the use of 28 mm or 45 mm rotary cutter blades.
You are encouraged to experiment with scrap fabric first to see which blade size and cutting technique work best for you along with how many layers of fabric to cut at a time. You can use a sharpened pencil or fine-tipped marker to mark the slits and use scissors to cut the slits. However, be sure that the marks and cuts do not go inside the 1/4” seam allowance line.
