I am making the pattern Sunflowers and Flying Geese. After needleturning the first outer circle onto the background, I tried reverse applique for the first time, and it worked beautifully!
My problem is the inner circle. There is no background and in spite of stay stitching, it still is causing me grief and lots of unstitching. I tried pressing under the seam allowance and hand stitching, facing a circle and machine appliquéd with invisible thread....and I am still not pleased. Any suggestions? Thank you!
