Frequently Asked Questions
Is this a paper quilt pattern?
No. The Hunter's Star is a printed interfacing pattern. The design is printed directly on lightweight interfacing, which you fuse to your fabric and use as a guide while constructing the quilt blocks.
Do I have to cut diamond shapes?
No. One of the biggest advantages of the Quiltsmart Hunter's Star method is that you cut straight fabric strips rather than individual diamond pieces.
Is the interfacing included?
Yes, when you purchase an interfacing pack. The Hunter's Star Pack includes instructions and six interfacing panels. The Add-On Pack includes 10 additional interfacing panels, cutting instructions and yardages needed for different sizes
How many Hunter's Star blocks does the first-time user pack make?
The Hunter's Star Pack makes up to 12 blocks.
.
What size quilt can I make with the Hunter's Star Pack?
The first-time user pack makes a 48" x 60" lap quilt when all 12 blocks are used.
Is the Hunter's Star pattern good for beginners?
Yes, especially for quilters who are comfortable with basic sewing and pressing. The Quiltsmart method simplifies the construction of a traditionally challenging design by eliminating diamond cutting and providing printed sewing guides.
Do I need a special ruler?
No special ruler is required for the basic method, but we recommend the Hunter's Star Strip Cutting Guide to make cutting the fabric strips easier. The guide is designed for 1½" strips and includes markings for the required lengths.
Can I buy additional interfacing?
Yes. The Hunter's Star Add-On Pack includes 10 additional interfacing panels along with cutting instructions and yardages.
What fabric should I use?
Use quilting cottons or other suitable quilting fabrics that work well with fusible interfacing. Choose contrasting fabrics if you want the star design to stand out clearly.
What makes the Quiltsmart method different?
Instead of constructing the Hunter's Star from individually cut angled pieces, the Quiltsmart method uses printed interfacing and straight fabric strips. You fuse, stitch and flip the pieces to create the design.
What Is a Printed Interfacing Pattern?
A Quiltsmart printed interfacing pattern combines the pattern and construction guide in one piece. Instead of transferring a design to paper and then cutting numerous individual pieces, the pattern is printed directly onto lightweight interfacing.
For the Hunter's Star, the interfacing provides a guide for positioning and stitching your fabric. The result is a simpler way to create a complex-looking quilt design.
Think of it as your pattern, sewing guide and construction helper all in one.
