applique

Tomorrow I'll take in my tracing and have it enlarged. I love to make the pattern large enough to satin stitch every piece down. They are also easier to handle than little pieces. Then I will number every piece and make sure that the lines fully enclose each piece. Now comes the tough part; like hand applique, some pieces need to be tucked underneath others. I will have to decide which pieces go on top and which underneath so I can add extra to those pieces which will be under. The eyes and nose will be on top and will be assembled separately then put into place.
Photos tomorrow and ready to trace onto the fusible. I use WonderUnder because it is cheaper and I use a TON of it. Also need to get parchment paper which I use instead of the expensive and much too small applique pressing sheet.
See you tomorrow!
