Flannel, Jan. :-D I don't much care for dealing with homespun.
Daisy.. I had to do it all with regular scissors. Bah! On the first one pictured, I tried snipping the long way across first. It didn't lay quite flat so on one spot the scissors slit the square about 1/3". I had to steam a seam a piece over it. I was so much more careful then, and finished using the tip of the scissors for most of it. That's harder.
