I tried it last night using reverse applique.....it did not work for me...so I'm going to try to learn to sew curves. I think I might use my glue baste pen instead of pins though...I'm thinking it might hold it better...would that be better or worse?

Unless I printed the wrong template sizes, my center was MUCH smaller than the outer pieces. I'll double check the software and get back to you.
I'm cutting pieces and bagging them *especially the applique* so I have take alongs to fit into my hectic life. This is one I'll have to put on hold for a day of concentration, I think. =)

I've got it! The corners are not supposed to match up...that's why they looked too big. After checking the software, I see that the center does not extend all the way to each corner so pinning has to be adjusted. It will be fine...I'm done freaking out. THANKS.
