what does this mean.....
. The strips have to cut three and half inches in length of the fabric, from cut the strips 3.5 inches wide of the fabric . Fabric with fold is to be faced towards you and then to be cut 2.5 inches strips of every fabric . Cut the fabric one at a time if you are a beginner.......I am not a beginner but this is sure making me feel like one .I thought this would be like a "short trip...I am confused by these insrtructions..can anyone help??

My only reply to that link is that it is a very badly written tutorial. Too confusing!! Why not try asking one of the board members w/a bargello as their avatar for a bit of help decoding these instructions or see if they have a better set of directions that you could use.
|
Those directions almost sound like they lost something while being translated maybe?
I would look for another pattern :D:D:D |
I can see why you are confused....It sounds like the instructions were translated into English from a foreign (to English speakers) language. I don't think I could make a quilt with these instructions, and I do have a rather general idea of how a bargello is constructed.
So sorry you are having this problem. It is disappointing. |
Didn't someone do a bargello tute on the board?
|
I think there are major mistakes in this pattern. You can't cut strips 3 1/2" wide and 2 1/2" wide at the same time.
Barb did a tutorial in the tutorial section. |
Sounds like some instructions we got with the kids toys from foreign countries.
|
That tutorial should be hung, drawn, and quartered and then stomped on with size 14 shoes!
It's surprising that there are no comments attached! I wonder if the moderator for the article is just not posting the comments. There are many good patterns out there for making a bargello quilt. I'd strongly suggest putting this one out of your memory and looking elsewhere. It's not you. It's the instructions. |
Oops, sorry for the double post.
|
Holy Moly!! That was the worst tut I have ever seen. That person should be ashamed and remove it. No wonder you couldn't understand it.
