On the back, using a contrasting color thread, needle baste directly on the line drawn the motif fabric. You do not have to secure this basting as it will be removed as you needle turn the seam allowance under. It is there to hold the batting and motif in place and give you a guide line for needle turning.

Begin traditional needleturning, removing the basting stitches as you need to. Clip curves and inner points as needed.

Cut out the small circle, applique it to the center, going through to the back to create a puffyness. When that is done, trim the seam allowance on the largest template to 1/8" and secure the rose to the background. The back petal of the rose will be flat, the second layer and center will be stuffed and puffy.
