Create a beautiful Black Eyed Susan quilt with Quiltsmart’s printed interfacing pattern. The ZigZag Appliqué method eliminates curved piecing and needle turning, so you can create this classic flower design with less measuring, less fuss, and more confidence.

This is a Printed Interfacing Pattern

This is not a traditional paper pattern. Quiltsmart prints the sewing lines directly onto lightweight interfacing, so you can use the printed lines as your guide while making your quilt.

With the ZigZag Appliqué method, you sew, trim, turn, fuse and zigzag your fabric pieces to create the flower shapes. There is no curved piecing and no needle turning, making this classic design much easier to sew.

Why use Quiltsmart instead of traditional methods?

  • Skip curved piecing. The ZigZag Appliqué method makes the curved flower shapes easier to construct.
  • No needle turning. Create smooth appliqué shapes without turning the edges by hand.
  • Sew with printed guides. The interfacing shows you where to sew, so there is less measuring and marking.
  • Make accurate, consistent flowers. The printed shapes help keep your blocks uniform.
  • Spend more time sewing and less time preparing. Quiltsmart takes much of the guesswork out of a complex-looking design.
  • Great for using your stash. Black Eyed Susan is a wonderful way to showcase favorite scraps and fabrics.
