If you’d like to switch it back to Summary view, you can do that too.
#Electric quilt blockbase Patch
Let’s switch it back to calculating for one block so we have the right patch counts for the single sew along block we’ll be making.***The number of patches listed is much higher now (because it’s now giving us the patch counts for all nine blocks at once!) **There’s an estimated number of WOF strips needed for the blocks. *There is a separate listing for each color of every patch. And there is more information listed with each cutting diagram. Notice that the printout now tells us it’s calculating for 9 blocks.In the Print Rotary Cutting Chart window, under Calculate for… select Detailed View.Let’s make a couple of changes to the settings and see how that affects the printout.Sub-cut the square diagonally to create two triangle patches. You’ll need 4 white triangles.įor Patch C, cut a strip of fabric 2-7/8” wide. You’ll need 12 white triangles and 8 red triangles.įor Patch B, cut a strip of fabric 3-7/8” wide.
Beside the cutting diagrams, you’ll see a Patch Count for each color.įor Patch A, cut a strip of fabric 1-7/8” wide. Those letters correspond to the cutting diagrams below. In the Key Block at the top of the printout, you’ll see that each patch is labeled with a letter.Click the Zoom in button a couple of times to get a closer look at the chart. It’s always a good idea to take a look at the preview before printing your block. For now, stick with the default settings on the right side of the window (Summary view, 1 block, 42” wide fabric, small Key Block).If you are using a different block size, it may be helpful to read more about rounding on our support site. Because I’m using the Default Size for the block (and therefore know that I’m using a size that works well with the grid structure of the block), I’ll leave it set to that. Rounding is set To the nearest 1/8 th inch.You can type in a new width if you’d like to change the seam allowance.
But remember, you can choose to make this block at any size you like! That’s the beauty of using the BB+ software-you get to choose the size of the block, and the style of pattern (templates, rotary cutting, or foundation) that YOU want to use. This is the size that I’ll be making the block. Click on one of those names to view the References info on the right. In the Notecard panel you’ll see this block has several Published Names.You can simply look for the block in the viewer to find 1237, or you can look at the Brackman ID numbers in the Notecard panel to help you locate the block.Find block 1273, which looks like this:.Click on 08 Four Patch, then click on 10 With Pinwheels.Click on a couple of other subcategories under 10 Unequal 9 Patch Small Center to view the blocks. By default, BB+ opens to the 10 Unequal 9 Patch Small Center category with the first subcategory selected.Also, take note of the Navigation Buttons at the top of the Navigation panel, and the Block Toolbar above the Notecard panel. There are three main areas in the BB+: Navigation Panel, Block Viewer, and Notecard Panel.Click the Finish or Close button to close the Getting Started tour.
