Patchwork panels make great focal points in your designs. Larger, single motifs are lovely as the centres of quilts or wallhangings, while multi image panels can be cut up for use in patchworks, home dec, clothing etc. Most of the panels here also have coordinates from the same ranges. Have fun with them! NB - sashiko panels are listed in other sections.
Q - Help! My panel isn't printed square...
A - This a great video from Mike Flynn from QT Fabrics showing you how to deal with panels or fabrics that have been pulled out of true because of the way they are packed onto the bolt for quilt shops. The info and tips he gives is true of all patchwork panels, not just those from QT - the panels are printed square, but the way the machine pulls them onto the folded bolt card for shops to stock pulls the fabric out of true a little. Especially for large panels, you want to get them back into true.
NB - don't do this with a sashiko panel or anything with wash out stitching lines, or you will remove the lines! Just ease those back into shape with a bit of gentle tugging, and square them up after you've stitched them.
