I am a bit mystified about reversing the patterns etc.?
I have photocopied the page of each design. I put that, face up on my light box, and trace through the background fabric, so my tracing is exactly how the design looks in the book. I must be missing something here.
I think the reversing of the pattern is for when you are using the pattern to paper piece the applique. The tracing onto the background doesn't need to be reversed, but I imagine on some blocks the paper pieces might. However, if you use freezer paper and trace on the paper side and then fuse them wax side up, you are already reversing your pattern. Does this make sense?
Aah, thank you. It never occurred to me about the fusing etc. Duh!
