Advice about my first raw edge applique
I recently bought a Toni Whitney raw edge applique design ( Blue Herron) and have traced all the parts and will fuse them today and start cutting the components, but before I start assembling the design I am asking this board, and its generous members, what to do as well as what to avoid? I am hoping that making this project is a straight forward approach, but anything that looks this great must have a lot of tricks to getting things to align and not have slight holes where pieces do not abut one another perfectly. I even went so far as to copy the design onto clear plastic as an overlay, but there is a master pattern to use ...so I am a bit vague why you need both the master pattern and the clear plastic copy? Perhaps as I get into this it will all become clear, but if you have made one of her designs and have anything to offer in the way of suggestions...I am all ears! Thanks for helping me.
