[QUOTE=PaperPrincess;5849229]I have a book on this (that I can't locate right now
). Basically, you cut 2 pieces of fabric in an oversize square or rectangle of the piece you are aiming for, stack them, both right side up, cut a gentle curve with a rotary cutter, then swap the 2 fabrics, sew, and trim down to your target patch size. You get 2 patches. I'll continue to look for that book!
ETA: I can't find my copy, but this is the book:

Thank you, I will try and find this book because it still just doesn't work for me. I laid 2 pieces of fabric together right sides up and then put them together and sewed but they will not lay flat. The middle puckers and forms a pleat. I am only doing a gentle curve so I must be missing something........or maybe just not too bright this morning. I am going to master this somehow. LOL
