Thread: Freezer Paper Applique' using glue.

Please be patient with me I have a lot o' picts for this tute, I'll probably have ta post 'em in several different posts. I put a star on the back & Tx on the front of a pot holder. Most o' this tute will focus on the star but I will show a few o' the TX also.
(Mental note: Don't ever Satin Stitch through 5 layers o' fabric & 2 washrags again!)
(1) Cut out the shape out o' the freezer paper.
(2) Press it ta the wrong side of the fabric.

(3) Cut out the seam allowance about a 1/4" from the freezer paper.





I cut straight across the tip & then clipped the tiny corners.



(I still have quit a few ta post.)
Why can't I git rid o' this last pict that goes somewhere else?

(4) Clip the curved places & corners o' the star.
(note; don't clip all o' the way ta the paper, just almost.)

(5) Use either Roxanne's Basting Glue or Washable (as in water soluble) School Glue. I actually have the school glue in an old Roxanne's bottle. Put tiny drops o' glue in several places o' the seam allowance.

(9)After ya git 2 points glued ya start in the sides. Put tiny dots o' glue on each side then one at the very corner.






Oops I just realized the time & I've got ta go & feed my MIL. I'll be back in a min.

(10) Pinch the inside corner of the star w/your thumbnail & press.



Again I can't git rid o' these extra picts.

When i printed the TX I forgot ta do it mirror image, so I thought I'd show how ta do it on the right side o' the fabric.
(11) Iron the shape onto the right side o' the paper, & cut out around it about 1/4" all around.

(12)Clip the seam allowances.

(13) On the back side, in the seam allowance, put some glue, fold over the corners & press.

(14) Do the next corner, then the in between & press.
