Glad this was asked as I bought the foam cut to fit but found a free embroidery pattern by Skeldale House and she uses iron on interfacing. Will try out the pattern today to see if I like it better than using the regular pattern. For anyone interested in this free pattern you need to sign up for her Yahoo Group as individual emails, not digest and she sends you the website to download her freebies. She also has a Facebook page where some of her freebies can be obtained but she just told us she'll be closing that site down at the end of the year. Will show my wreath hopefully at the end of the day.
