What is a Quiltsmart Printed Interfacing Pattern?

This is a sewing pattern printed directly on lightweight interfacing, not a finished turkey or a complete fabric kit. Quiltsmart's printed guides help you position fabric and sew the design accurately, making complex quilt designs easier to create.

 

Use your own fabrics to personalize your Dresden Turkey with traditional fall colors, playful prints, or scraps from your stash. Follow the included instructions to assemble your project and create a festive decoration for Thanksgiving.

What You'll Learn

- How to use printed interfacing to construct a Dresden Plate design.
- How printed sewing guides help simplify a complex-looking pattern.
- How to combine fabrics and decorative shapes to create a character-filled turkey.
- How to personalize your project with fabric colors and prints.
- How to use Quiltsmart's method to explore traditional quilt designs in a new way.
