| Frequently Asked Questions |
A "Trim ends of bias binding" should have followed "Zigzag and." The text box just clipped
the last line.
Q I have just cut out my mug bucket pattern pieces and was ready to put it together when I
realized I don't have a pattern for the inside pocket.
A The inside pocket is formed by folding the body up to the outside on the fold line.
Q I purchased your darling pattern from Nancy Notions and decided to make one of these for
a b-day present for a fellow quilter. When I opened the pattern I discovered that I am missing a
page. Instead of Nancy sending me a whole new pattern because of the error I thought I would
contact you and see if you just wanted to email me the instruction page.
A There were a few such patterns with a page missing. I will email the missing page.
Jitter Bucket
Q Where is the best place to obtain the 5 quart buckets for the Jitter Bucket?
A The 5 quart buckets may be purchased in the paint department at the major discount
stores and in most hardware stores. A good source is the grocery store – filled with ice cream!
You need the traditional bucket (8 ½ across by 6 ½ high)– not the tall, skinny, new design –
with a handle that is easily removable.
Q How can I finish the bottom of the Jitter Bucket?
A Before adding the cover to bucket, use hot glue to attach an 8 inch circle of quilt batting to
the bucket bottom. Cut a circle of coordinating or matching fabric approximately 12 inches in
diameter. Turn bucket upside down and secure edges of circle to bucket sides with tacky glue
or hot glue, making small pleats to fit. To cover raw edges, glue a decorative ribbon or trim or
use the new colored duct tape.
Q The Jitter Bucket pattern calls for heavy, firm iron-on backing. What does that
include?
A Fusible fleece gives a nice finish, and Decor Bond and Craft Fuse are just two of the
interfacings that can be used. Quilt batting or felt used with an adhesive spray works great.
You may want to cut out the darts and satin stitch the dart lines together. (See gold zigzag dart
line inside Jitter Bucket.)

Q In my area, ice cream only comes in 4 quart buckets. Can the Jitter Bucket pattern be
adapted to the 4 quart bucket?
A If the bucket measures 8 1/2 inches across, the pattern can be easily adapted. Before you
order, email me the height of your bucket, and I will give you the modifications that you will
need to make.
Q LUV YOUR CREATIVITY . IS IT POSSIBLE TO MAKE THOSE OUT OF CREPE PAPER?
ARE THOSE CONNECTED TO THE JITTER MONKEY FROM YEARS BACK?
A The Jitter Bucket is a sturdy holder for anything from tools to baby items and is best made
from fusible fleece backed cotton or decorator fabric. I'm not familiar with the Jitter Monkey, but
it sounds cute. I named the bucket pattern after my sister, nicknamed Jitter Bug, because she
gave me the idea.
Tote-All-Bucket
Q Where can I find the 5 gallon buckets for the Tote-all-Bucket?
A The buckets for the Tote-all-Bucket pattern can be purchased in the paint department at
the major discount stores and most hardware stores. They may also be recycled from many
sources. Be sure to get the type with the 3 ridges at the top, not the one with the single flange.

Q How many items is one allowed to make and sell from a pattern ?
A The new policy for making and selling Buckets Gone Wild! patterns is as follows:
1. Buckets Gone Wild! must be credited for the pattern design in all written descriptions of
items made by you to sell. When advertising the finished product, include a statement that the
item was made from a Buckets Gone Wild! pattern by Georgia Manning Lewis.
2. All items for sale must be handmade by you. Contracting with others to mass produce the
design is expressly prohibited.
3. Distribution of the pattern and corresponding instructions is expressly prohibited.
Q Can I use pet screen instead of vinyl for the pockets?
A Yes. Pet screen works very well. Many quilt stores stock pet screen in a variety of colors
for use in tote bags and purses. Hardware stores and major discount stores carry it in black.
Q Do I need a special needle to sew vinyl or pet screen?
A A regular needle works fine. On vinyl, use a longer stitch (3), but stitch length doesn't
matter with pet screen. You will need sturdy, sharp pins for both, though. The patterns include
tips that make sewing on vinyl almost as easy as sewing on fabric.
Q When attaching the pet screen pocket, how do you suggest stitching on the stitching
line between pockets? Do you suggest a straight stitch only? Using a trim?
A Because you can sew directly on the pet screen with a regular presser foot, you do not
need the trim on the stitching line as you do with vinyl. Either a straight stitch or a decorative
machine stitch will work equally well.
