WHAT IS CALICO? Calico is a plain weave fabric, which means that the warp and weft (the up to down and left to the right weave of the fibers) are of equal weight, and tightly woven at right angles to give a strong and hardwearing fabric. This simple weave means that calico can be made quickly, both on mechanized looms as it is now, and on the non-mechanized looms of earlier times. Calico is a cream or beige color and you will see it sprinkled with little black dots which are the cotton seed remnants.

Measure Seam Allowance Matching up quilt blocks requires an accurate ¼” seam. Use a special sewing foot or the markings on the needle plate to ensure your project is a success! Trim for Perfection Trimming each piece of fabric once sewn makes creating a quilt easier. Iron for Accuracy Press seams either to the side or down the middle. Ironing is essential for perfect points and matching corners.
