6 years agoWhat if I have a Pfaff machine with a the metal and magnet hoop. Can I still use the monster block system?
Dale Fedor
6 years agoI can’t find block 2. I found block 3 & block 1 is in the magazine but where is block 2?

6 years agoThe instructions still don’t state when/how to add piece #1 – the back of the block.

6 years ago AUTHORSusan, after all blocks have been made and pieced together, the quilt back will be added as one entire piece.

6 years agoGot it! Thank you!

6 years agoI have not been able to find a pdf of the templates to cut the fabric without a cutter machine, Thanks
Linda Wolka
6 years agoAccording to the FAQs regarding the Celebration Quilt BOM in the January/February 2019 issue, in addition to the digital files for cutting machines, PDF patterns are also provided to cut patches with a rotary cutter. However, the only PDF I could find was the yardage requirements for each fabric with miniature block parts. Please advise.

6 years agoI don’t have a monster block maker. Can I use my regular giant hoop? Please advise.
Thank you in advance.
