Would you like me to point out the Booboos to you? LOL.
Pat, I think I am going through my learning curve with this. I am using a method that the lady who taught it to me called needleturn applique by machine, I trace and cut heat resistant templates, use them to trace and cut my fabrics leaving a seam allowance and then strach the seam allowance and with the templates inside iron the edges under, remove template and stitch on background. My problems are the clipping I need to make in the seam allowance to get certain shapes, if I clip in the wrong spot, it changes the shape, and then sometimes roundness like of the heart grows points from the
seam allowance caused by my misclippings. I think if and once I figure out where to take that tiny clip, it'll be smooth sailing for me...maybe on that very last block,lol :mrgreen: Meanwhile, like my husabnd says, it does look like a heart so I suppose it is good enough :-D
