I am working on an applique project that I used wax paper as patterns and brushed starch on the seam allowance to turn under then iron. I pull off the wax paper and sew on to the background fabric. When I began this project it was my intention to do needle turn, but I found I am actually doing more of a blind stitch. The fabric is too stiff to turn so I catch a few strands from the under side. It is looking real good but very time consuming.
