Make curved piecing easy with the tips and techniques included in the pattern and this great YouTube tutorial!
Glue basting a curve increases accuracy, helps make a smooth, flat curve, and makes sewing it so much easier. Here's the washable, fabric safe glue pen I like to use: Sewline Glue Pen. It's my favorite for curves because it's tacky and narrow, making it eaiser to keep it in my seam allowance. For best results, apply the glue, match the raw edges, then finger press the fabric layers together to sink the glue into the fibers. 
Skill level: Intermediate to advanced quilters
Pattern includes paper templates for cutting out all the curves but there are two rulers that also work! See notes below.

Recommended Supplies:
Make your Bouncing By quilt making journey smoother and more enjoyable with these helpful tools:
Marking Pen: To help guide you in creating smooth, consistent curves.
Sewline's Washable Glue Pen: Keeps your curved fabric layers in place making sewing the curve so much easier and accurate!
Clammy 10" Ruler - This ruler is the EASIEST way to cut out this quilt. 
Circle Savvy Ruler - This ruler can also be used to cut out this quilt AND it cuts quarter, half, and full circles in half and full inch sizes from 3" to 15 1/2" 
Rotating Cutting Mats- Instead of bending around to cut a curve, turn it as you cut! I used the 14" Omnigrid Rotating Mat to make this quilt and we just started carrying the Sewtites Magnetic Rotating Mat - use magnets to hold your fabric and ruler in place so nothing shifts!  
Sewing Machine with a 1/4" Foot: Curves lay flatter with an accurate 1/4" seam. This can be achieved by moving the needle over and using the edge of a standard foot or by using a 1/4" foot with the needle centered. 
 
Having the right tools can make all the difference in creating this bold, modern design with ease!
