Well, while I was writing my lengthy instructions I see that you do not want patches. Here's another way.
Use a large sheet of clear plastic--we use the kind you get at Home Depot or such .--they are sold as drop cloths. Lay your sweat shirt out and lay plastic on top. Smooth and pin down and trace sides and seam lines with a sharpie.. This will be your pattern. Add seam allowances to what you have drawn on plastic. Cut it out. It really works. I've done it twice also. |

Thank you for the instructions. I will give this a try, as well. I wanted to do a test piece prior to doing a full quilt as you go jacket. Size and comfort play a big part of my investment of time and materials.

I am going to try the plastic method and see how it works on a muslin model before I cut the batiks. thanks for the tips everyone. If I get it done, I'll post a photo.

You can do the strip piecing and STILL do the free motion quilting on top of it. I teach a class on making this type of jacket and that's the instructions I gave. (I hope I am understanding what you mean)
