Q&A with Oda May: Fabric Scale


Today Oda May tells it like it is when it comes to fabric scale.

{fabrics shown are from Avalon by Fig Tree and Co.}



Dear Oda May,

I like to design my quilts in a software program before I make them. I love that Moda provides jpegs of fabric lines but how can I tell the scale?

Scaled Out in Schenectady



Dear Scaled Out,

Start with the PDF for the collection. You can find them all{here}. The green scissors icon is for the PDFs. Here is the PDF file for Fig Tree and Co.'s newest line, Avalon.

www.unitednotions.com/fcc_avalon.pdf

All of the fabric swatches shown in the PDF are scaled down by 50% - unless otherwise indicated. Certain extra large repeats and panels are often reduced by 75%.  Knowing the scale of a fabric is also helpful for other quilters who are hunting for just the right polka dot, stripe, or damask (or whichever print strikes your fancy!).

Trimmed and Squared,

Another area of controversy is that the swim suit line really only works for extremely small people.But Nau just spoke quietly.Sherkaner Underhill stood by the parking circle at the end, looking quite out of place beside the grand entrance.Certainly, the Spiders could have a presence at the rockpile.Either old faithful had played a cosmic joke on them, or this was an absolute knife-edge of an effect.If you want to feel incredibly good about yourself, get your hands on an underbust corset.He waved at the racked corpsicles.Major Victory Lighthill tapped at the ground with the tips of her hands.Sherkaner had one last glimpse of the gray lands, and the curtains of impossible aurora hanging above. In a way that could http://quatla.com/edu/lingerieocean/
be true of an adult, it was easy to see where Junior s attention was.Underhill stretched out on the perch behind his desk.A moment passed; a tiny figure in a screwball harlequin outfit slipped out of the duct.Maybe not. And suddenly the nausea was gone.

The same period the exhibition will also hold the second China xinjiang international mining industry exposition ", it is not only show the extension of content, also accord with the actual market in xinjiang, can achieve the added value of visitor http://sexylingerie765.newsvine.com/
