I place the 2 fabric layers together and draw all my circles and leaf shapes but leave enough space between the shapes for adding the seam allowance. I sew around the petal shapes without batting first.
I then place batting under the circles and sew around the circles on the marked line. The batting is included in the stitching line and is trimmed to the same 1/4 inch seam allowance as the fabric above it. The stitching keeps the batting in place when you turn your circles.
