Hi Lalla Hope you are safe? Your description of the instruction road map is correct..I followed the instructions on my first applique (far too complicated for the my first applique with 8 overlaps ) and was lead down the garden path into the sea !!!..took a couple of huge mistakes to find out was really going on..The applique instructions were well-meaning,a couple of pages but were an afterthought should have A.B.C.D.E.F ect; but were all over the place, just bad sentence coordination ....I use software to get me through complex layer applications now......Zoo
