Betty,
Do I need to clarify anything in particular for you? Just let me know. I've never done a tutorial, so not the best at writing out complete instruction, but will be glad to explain further any step you don't understand.

Yorkie,
Please read through the message in this thread.... As I stated in a message above, I've never done a tutorial before so bear with me, I'll eventually get all the steps covered. Any thing you don't understand, please ask for more details.

hi barb and welcome home
i was reading the sets info you posted for me..
the first part is confusing.. it says to me to do 3 sets on #1.. then a bit down it says 2 sets.. and it says 2 sets of 11-10 and then down a bit it says 3 sets... can you clarify that for me.. i have done one set of 1-11 and i am loving it..but didn't want to go further until i understood the sets.. i do understand about moving the bottom to the top.. does this make since?

Yes, it does make sense............ I'm beginning to believe I should never have started this, I'm making so many mistakes!!!!
Glad you asked. The information in the lower section is correct. it is 2 sets for #1 and 3 sets for #11
# 1....2 sets....fabs #1-11.....need 72 inches to make next cuts
You will cut #1 sets into (20) 3 1/2 in strips
# 11...3 sets....fabs #11-10.....need 96 in. to make next cuts
Cut #11 sets into (32) 3 in strips.
I'm not only making mistakes in my typing, the first set I sewed together last night I didn't have my machine set at 1/4" and sewed all 11 of my pieces together and came out with my panel over 1/2" too narrow! Now I have to cut more strips and sew another panel. i did get half my sets sewn and pressed thou.
Did I mention, when you press your panels, to press the seams up on the first on (#1) press down on #11. up on #10 and so on? So when you sew the 3 1/2"strips cut from set #1 to the 3" strip of #11 the seams will be laying in opposite directions?
Before you get to cutting of the panels into strips let me know, I will have a few tips for you.

you are the bomb barb... you are right there with the answers.. and i am learning as we go.. you are doing fine.. please keep going and be patient with all of us.. i read that all day long and reread it.. read it to hubby and he said he didn't know either....lol. i didn't think he would.. yes i knew about the seam pressing..i have learned some things along the way and if i don't know it i try to research it before bugging someone... i will finish sewing my strips tomorrow and then i will ask more questions...
thank you so much for teaching me this technique...
here is a question i have:
1. when it says i need 72 inches .. what does that mean?
2. what is the exact measurement of a panel?

Sorry you had to read and read again.
Answer to # 1 question....Well when you cut the (20) 3 1/2" that doesn't come up to 72" (only 70). No wonder I am confusing you. When you make two strip sets you will have 80+ inches to cut those 3 1/2 in strips from, so you will have a little left over. Put those aside and use those where I said you would need to get some cuts from left overs, or in case the ruler slips and you need to do another.
Answer to #2 questions: The strips sets will measure whatever the width of your shortest fabric. Since the fabric widths vary, sometimes they are 40-41 inches of usable fabric after cutting off the selvage.
