This has happened to me with flowers with round petals. I ended up making a double layer of the same top petal fabric ………..just not adding the ¼ inch for the needle turn. If you are not doing needle turn, I guess if you use a double layer of fabric it would work. I was using a light yellow and the green showed through from the leaf behind it……….I just couldn’t leave it that way. Good luck.
