Let me break it down for you. Fuse together 2 pieces of fabric, wrong sides together. Draw the pattern on freezer paper and iron it to the fabric. Cut out the pattern with a craft knife. Bend back the cutouts and press open.Lay a third piece of fabric underneath. Straight stitch ( or in one case, zig zag stitch) down around the cutouts. It's all flat stitching. You get different patterns depending on which fabric you put on top. Hope this helps.
