TIPS: I thought I might have to hand sew the shapes so to that end, I took thread out of the needle, lowered the tension and "sewed" needle holes around the shapes! Then I tried to sew one. But I thought "well, there was no problem steering to make the holes so I made a sample and with the tension lowered, had no problem going around to stitch! After all the stitched lines are not supposed to be perfect or have the same width seam allowance!
Try it with the un-threaded needle first!

Go ahead and try it! Just make one flower and see that it is easily doable.


For variety when doing the pattern, flip your templates over for the next flower at random = different shapes.
