Bring your needle and thread through to the front of your work and make 3 - 4 small applique stitches to hold the pieces (Pic 13a)

This is to prevent a hole at the seamline, which will be where your paper finishes. You need to stitch far enough so that the work will hold but not so far that your hand sewing will get chomped by the rotary cutter when you trim your block (Pic 13b)
