Thanks everyone for your kind words
I had a quick look for the video and of course I couldn't find it What I do is trace the design on to freezer paper, then iron my traced copy to another piece of freezer paper so that I have 2 layers. I then cut out all my pieces and iron them on to the wrong side of my fabric ( I use batiks so there is not really a wrong side LOL). I then cut out my pieces leaving around 1/4" all round (usually a little smaller), then using a small paint brush dipped in a starch and water solution, I put the starch on my seam allowance, with a mini iron I iron my seam allowance down using the freezer paper as my guide. As the fabric is wet, it goes aound curves really well, I clip my inside curves so they sit better. I then peel off my freezer paper and stitch down using silk thread.
I have to go out today, but I will have another look for that video when I get back.
