Cuppaz
Cuppaz Teaching Notes
*This is one of my ‘tighter’ measured blocks. There is
not much room for generous trimming. You may need to have the freer
students measure for block size before completion.
*The cup can be placed high or wide. I use it wide as the sides
are sized for this direction. If placed high, mention that not too
much can be trimmed from the sides.
*Cutting the sides is confusing when demonstrated but few have
trouble once they understand the concept. It may be necessary to
show them the three versions and their applications.
*The ‘overlap cut’ used when joining the cups and saucers
into stacks needs to be shown after they have made a few blocks.
Do not introduce it too soon as it may confuse some students.
*I rarely find it necessary to demo applique for the handles. You
are welcome to introduce students to any form of applique you prefer.
*A series of sample cuppaz with different handle applications could
be a useful teaching tool - one I will get to eventually!
