Chenille Cutting Guide

Planning
Fran used a fun product, Chenille By The Inch™, to embellish and add texture to her adorable fish quilt. We provide an overview of the process for using Chenille By The Inch™ and ordering information at the end of this pattern.

When sewing the chenille strips to the blocks, take care not to stretch the strips, and be sure to backstitch at the beginning and end of each strip to keep secure while brushing.
