To get the best results when cutting with tile nippers there are a few simple rules to remember (© Make sure your tle nippers are sharp. The sharper the tool. the better the cut. © When holding the tile nippers, keep your hands at the bottom of the handles, with the cutting edge turmed towards you. You'll find some tiles almost impossible to cut if you hold the nippers too high up the handle. The tool’s power relies ‘on leverage, and the higher up the handles you held the tool, the less ‘cutting power you generate. (© Always cut in a safe manner and be aware of other people around you. When cutting ate in half or in ‘quarters, hold the tle with your free hand to give you complete contol, stopping any pieces fying off.

Ifyou'e nibbling out a delicate shape and it's impossible to hold both sides ofthe tle stand up and make the cutat around knee height. @ To divide a tile in half, position tle rippers over the centre of the tle, with an overlap of about 3mm, and cut. Ifthe nippers are positioned more than 6mm over the tile it will be much harder to develop enough controlled energy to cutthe tiles cleanly. @ To achieve precision cuts with the ceramic tiles, draw the exact shape you reed on to the tile in pencil (the marks will wash away). Glass tiles require you to work by eye and may splinter slightly. As {you practise and get a feel for the nippers, start using every edge of the blades to cut different shapes in your tls.

Created entirely by hand, using the simple English technique of sewing over foundation papers itis one of the original patchwork techniques and fine examples of it exist in museums and art galleries around the world Ithas endured the test of time, because itis easy to do, sturdy and effective, and there are few better ways of using up odd scraps of fabric, English paper piecing can also be worked in many different shapes, Including diamonds (see the Relaxing Reading Floor Cushion on page 51), pentagons, triangles and much more, but by far, the most enduring shape is the hexagon. How it’s done You can do EPP either as a pattern, or asa random colour mix, but itis usually done as a pattern and here we to get started with a Cutting out Each rosette is made up of sic matching fabricpetals around a contrasting centre, s0 cut six matching hexagons and one contrasting one. You can cut the fabric hexagons out, using one of ‘wo methods: Make a cutting template {em largerall around than your actual template and then draw around it on to the fabric and cut out. This method is goodif you are using pieces of new fabric as itavoids waste because you can ‘trace the hexagons on to fabric with the edges abutting GETTING STARTED © To begin with, you will need paper foundations: one for every patch, or fabric piece, in your project. These can be either homemade, or ready-cut papers ‘which are available to buy. To make homemade papers, you need some paper (an old magazine works a treat) and a reliable cutting template. @ Ifyou are cutting by hand, you can simply make yourself a template from ‘thin card (a cereal box.is ideal) and then trace around it onto the paper and cut out ‘@ Magazines and patchwork books usually supply good templates for you to copy, or you can purchase templates made from a special plastic, which allows you to see the fabric through. This is especially helpful ifyou want to cut patches from specific parts of your fabrics design. ‘@ The most important thing to ensure is that your templates and papers are ‘cut accurately, at the beginning, because, unlike machine piecing where you have a seam allowance, here the edges simply butt together, so they need to fit precisely rather like in a jigsaw puzzle. ‘Tips: If you are lucky enough to own a die cutter and a hexagon die, this will allow you to cut multiple accurate foundation papers at one time. © Get a plastic storage box for the foundation papers, cut lots out and store them ready for your projects 14. LOVETO MAKE WT WW Alternatively, for fabric scraps, pin the backing paper directly on to the fabric and cut out a fabric shape Tem larger all around the paper. The fabric hexagon size doesn't have to be accurate, just big enough to overlap on to the backing paper. Piecing together foundation paper centrally against the wrong side of the fabric, and pin in place. Fold back each edge, fingerpressing as you proceed (Le. lay your piece on a hard surface and run your thumb nail along the folded edge), and tack down each of the sides at one time. Stitch right through the paper and make a neat 120-degree angle at each point. Remove the pin and then prepare the remaining five patches in the same way. l ‘To prepare each patch, hold the tra se whit ead your i pintiny whipstitches, sew the two pieces together along one edge. See page 69 for details on how to work this stitch, (Open out the two patches and stitch the second petal tothe next side of the central hexagon, in the same way, Now fold the centre hexagon in half so that the two petals ie face to face. Bring the needle up at the point where the three patches meet and stitch the two petals together. Sew on the remaining four petals inthe same way to complete the rosette. Make another rosette and join it directly to the first, using whipstitch, or add a contrast border Sere ee complete rosettes and six part ones (with Pn era rey eirenrey in-between the rosettes, as shown in our featured quilt above. You can continue adding rosette blocks in the same way to create the desired size for your project. )When the day arrives that you have eventually finish your patchwork, you can celebrate by removing the tacking stitches and all ofthe foundation papers, then finish your projectinthe @ desired way. NOTE: English paper piecing is nota quick process, but remember that quilt making is supposed to be a relaxing, unhurried process, that can become quite addictive... so have fun! 88Take A Map Give paper maps a new life in your home to evoke memories of your favourite trips, places you've lived or dream destinations New Lamps For Old Upcycle a tired lampshade with a salvaged map and strips of paper. py TTT You will need | @ Amap i | @ Drum lampshade i | @ Various sized strips of } | eoloured paper to tone with | | _ yourmap ; | @ Stioky-backed tie-back and | pelmet stiffener © Multi-purpose contact adhesive © Sewing machine © Two clothes pegs Remove the cover carefully from the shade to use as a pattern and keep the two wire rings to one side.
