Michelle cuts each piece of glass for the cartoon, using the English method of cutting, without pattern pieces. Every space, no matter how small, on the pattern needs a piece of glass cut exactly to size. As she cuts the pieces, one at a time, Michelle lays out the glass on a duplicate copy of the pattern, carefully numbering each and making sure each piece fits precisely within the lines of its designated space.
