Following the success with the enamel badges, which you can find in Juliet’s shop, we are now excited to share with you our latest UKQU merchandise – the patterns for you to make your own logo in two different techniques – appliqué and foundation paper piecing.
Appliqué pattern
We have two files available for the appliqué pattern; one has all letters on one page, the other one has one letter per page. There’s no exact size to the appliqué pattern, so feel free to print at any size you like.
Foundation paper piecing
Again, for the foundation paper piecing pattern, we have two sizes available. When printed at 100% on A4, they should come out as 5″ and 6″ respectively. This is the height of each letter, with the ‘tail’ of the Q being additional as it goes below the line. Due to the font, all letters are of different width! If you print at any other scale than 100%, please remember to adjust the seam allowances!
In the pattern for the larger letters (6″), there are two versions of the Q. The slightly more detailed version has just under 40 pieces. Do try it, if you have the patience, as the Q will look ’rounder’ than the easier version. Either will look great, so don’t fret about it!
Thank you
The foundation paper piecing logo wouldn’t have been possible without the kind help from six lovely pattern testers from our UKQU Foundation Paper Piecing Facebook group. HUGE THANK YOU goes to Cat, Maureen, Gemma, Alaine, Juliet and Yolly for dropping (almost) everything else to test the pattern.
Finally
If you ever set up a company, don’t include a Q in the name; it’s a rather time consuming letter to create a pattern for, and to make when using foundation paper piecing. Just a tip!
Please head over to my shop to download your FREE patterns.
Any questions or suggestions, just let me know, either in the comment below or send me a message.
