Maybe you can show us a picture?
Andrea, I'll post a pic later tonite,,,, not at home now.

I use the tape in the middle, you can' t needle through it, the thread hangs up on the glue.

Snip a small piece,, usually 1/2", &place it where it will not interfer, depending on the size of the piece to be appliqued.

A leaf may only need 1 piece, in the middle
while a larger flower may take 3 pieces, triangled around the center.


I will be hoome around 8 & will post phooto then
