OK polyparrot-on mars,that pattern you bought is on the same order as the Fiesta one. Beautiful! You asked about backbasting. You can find instructions on the internet. Just enter what you want and it will be there. It is basically this: trace your pattern one the WRONG side of fabric--Pin and then baste your applique piece to the Right side making sure to cover entire area of the pattern to be covered. Baste ON THE PATTERN LINE in a contrasting color thread.Then turn over and away you go. I trim a bit off but do my close trimming as I go. No more templates, no more freezer paper,no more glue or burned fingers pressing around shapes,no more misplaced pieces. It really is sure fire. Try it once just for the experience. You will love it!
