It took me many, many years to work up the nerve for a DWR. When I finally did it - it was a mini and quite a challenge. I paper pieced the arcs but did all the rest of it by hand. As others have said - no clipping! Accuracy is the only key. My trick - as I am such a fussbudget - was to sew through the arcs on the seam line through the paper with NO THREAD. Then I could tear away the seam allowance of the paper and have a nice line to follow for hand stitching. Tedious but worth it! There is a dime on this picture to give you the scale. It lays flat!
