Regarding really small pieces, i.e., a small circle. I have tried to use the back basting to make them and was not satisfied with the results. For these, I will use the template, yoyo, starch approach. It works for some other small shapes but a circle needs to look like a circle.
Cabbagepatch, thank you for the tutes. I had not seen these two. Their illustrations are very good and should work better than the lengthy explanation I tried above. The one I had seen had basted on all of her pieces which to me was too confusing. I would rather work with one or two pieces at a time.
