Fussy-cutting tips:
- Use a ruler designed for fussy-cutting or make a window template from cardboard to center your design.
- Remember that your fabric will lose 1/4" all the way around your cut piece for the seam allowance, so don't cut your design too close!
- You use more yardage when fussy-cutting, so plan on buying more than your pattern calls for.
