Help please! hand applique bias strips for "vines" or stems"

To get the shape you want, use a plastic overlay of your design. Buy the cheap plastic they sell at stores for tablecloths. Take a piece the size of your block and trace your design onto it. Put registration marks on the plastic pattern so that you know where the center is horizontally and vertically. Crease your fabric in the same places and line fabric and plastic up. You will be sure to get your bias vine just placed just right and exactly in the same shape as your pattern call for.

Dear Born to Quilt
to make stems the easiest way i have found, fabric cut on the bias fold wrong sides together, sew down the raw edge side as to pattern, flip the folded edge over and hand sew or machine sew down. by doing it this way you can make very narrow stems. hope this helps you. hot grandma
