Preparing circles for needleturn applique
#44
Thanks, i have a really stupid question, but you will have to forgive me for that. I tried an applique and it came out bigger than it needed to be so overlapped the next piece for example J8. What do I have to do to get the right size? Told you it was dumb!

That's a pretty neat use for an old cd. :thumbup:
One question: Can you iron on the cd, or does the cd tend to melt or warp out of shape, if you iron on it? I do understand that the fabric would be covering the cd, but I think I might be afraid the cd might melt or warp??
