You need to start with repeating other people's mistakes. True, repeat theoretical. Often such a huge, difficult work ends with disappointment - I do not like the needlewoman in a blanket.


So, the main errors of beginners:

  • Color spectrum. Do not try to argue the immense. Find photos of the color circle (spectrum), where you will see all the variants of the combination of colors. Too bitten blanket is not suitable for any interior style. Some combinations still need to consider, look at the video, considering in detail what the patchwork blanket looks like in a specific setting.
  • Fabrics should be the same in thickness and structure.
  • All seams need to be opened very carefully, any master class does accent on this.
  • During the assembly, it is possible to admit the stretching of the edges - be careful in this process, the details of the beds can be deformed.
  • In the pattern there should be general logic - clear schemes, pictures, and not patchwork chaos.

Any master class reconsider, re-read several times. Do not divide the schemes and schemes: the schemes allow not to get confused.

Master class: Patchwork blanket

First, of course, it is worth collecting all the necessary tools and materials together. Make sure you have everything you need.

Namely:

  • Loskutka fabric for squares;
  • Schemes or patterns;
  • Cardboard pattern made with your own hands (can and plastic);
  • Scissors;
  • Pins;
  • Threads;
  • Sewing machine.


  • Decide in the picture. For beginners, preferred blankets with a large pattern or pattern (look at the photo). Since you have to sew a blanket from squares, the pattern can be quite simple, geometric (snake, mosaic).
  • Fabric selection. You need enough bright flasks that will go on the front side. It also takes a monophonic cloth for inside, as well as a synthetic tribbon. If you select the fabrics of the same texture, with the first wash, they will not scream.
  • For beginners no less important to the exact clock. For this, there are patterns, they can be cardboard or plastic (examples can be seen in the photo). Laying patterns, consider the direction of the share thread.
  • After cut the desired number of squares, proceed to the assembly. Loskutka is applied to each other face, and they need to sew them on the line mark-up. Do everything according to the conditions of the color scheme. After the facial part is sewn, it is good to fly.
  • On table or other smooth surface Spread the cloth for the wrong part of the bedspread (blankets). Top laying syntheps, cloth straighten with your own hands. Insulation, cut out with some stock with each of the sides. The insulation must be soldered, otherwise it will "walk" on the blanket. Schemes for stitches are always the same - from the center around the edges.
  • Master class is nearing a junction. You need all three layers to pin with needles or pins. Layers align on the top. It remains only to sew. The tape on the edges will help not paint the blanket, so do not regret the time to sew a braid or something similar.


Regarding squares: To simplify work, use schemes on paper. On the diagram you lay out the squares (the number of them from 48 and more), and so you will not bother with what to sew. Make a photo of such a calculation, which will also serve as a landmark.
