put it all in the refrig or freezer, it will come back LOL

I don't know if Steam A Seam has changed since I used it a few years ago, but I don't iron until after the applique piece is cut out. When you peel off the paper, the Steam A Seam would stick to the fabric enought to be able to cut out the piece. I only used the iron once when all the pieces are in place.

That is how I learn, from all my mistakes. I am getting pretty good now.

Oh my gosh, I hope you don't mind but I am sitting here laughing outloud at what you did. Sounds like such an easy thing to do. Love those Fusion pens but not in your case. That's a real test of patience now to redraw all of those pcs. Good luck.

I'm glad no one listens, when I sew. I tend to talk to things . . . seam ripper, sewing machine, etc. It's never MY fault, you see!
