What's Included in Our Program?

All original Wilmington Batiks, Binding, a Boo-Boo Bundle of extra fabrics, Backing and our Exclusive Cutting diagrams!
What are Cutting Diagrams?

I find it hard to read paragraphs of cutting information as my eyes can skip lines and I end up making mistakes. We've solved that problem with creating unique cutting diagrams for each BOM that visually show you how to cut each piece of fabric in each kit (example below)! There's much less chance of cutting mistake, but if so, we also include a Boo-Boo Bundle of extra fabric so you can keep on going. ~ Marsha
Sign up Now to Reserve Your Spot!

Our fabric should arrive in the next several weeks, so we hope to get kits cut before the end of March. If not, it will be early April.

Once we receive the fabric, we will cut the entire set of kits and put them in bags. You can start anytime after that ~ just let us know when.

Choose one kit per month, multiples per month, or the entire set of kits. If you choose the complete set option, we will pay shipping to any US destination.

Another Stunning Nancy Rink Design!
Available Now!

For Marcella, Nancy assembled some of her favorite motifs: florals large and small, paisleys, pindots, plaids, toiles, a drop-dead gorgeous border stripe, and even a speckled print with tiny dragonflies!
Beautiful 108" Wide Backing!

We love it when designers and manufacturers create coordinated backing for BOM projects we love the design for Marcella.
All Fabric Essentials BOM programs include backing!
Stunning Outer Border!

Here's a close-up view of the outer border. It's important to note that we provide enough fabric for you to cut your outer borders LOF (length of fabric) so there are NO seams in this outer border (except for the corners, of course).
