This is a tutorial for those who have received a Pre-Cut Face Mask Kit, but the videos can also be used with any pre-sewn mask! The masks I'm working on are 7.5 x 8.5" finished, which means you cut two 8" x 9" rectangles and sew them with right sides together, then flip & finish!
Our Face Mask Kits are sewn on our computerized Innova Longarm. If you have a computerized longarm and would like to make your own masks, you can grab the file on the Handiquilter website.
Making Masks for Kits on the Longarm

Finish the ends of your twill tape by turning down the raw edges and sewing down, or simply tie in a knot.
Finishing Method 2: Adding twill ties with pleats
