New stuff I've never done before, attic windows, reverse applique and applique stems on the maple leaves. Don't know if my brain can handle all that good stuff! :shock: :lol:
Fall colors.

I'm not to sure about myself, I know I did it wrong but it had the same end result that it was supposed to have. The directions said and I quote:
-Cut a 7 1/4"x7 1/4" sq. from white freezer paper.
-Place it on the pumpkin pattern and trace the image.
-Cut the inside of the image out and press the shiney side of the freezer paper to the WRONG side of a 7 1/4" x 7 1/4" background fabric.
-CAREFUL NOW! You will now cut away the inside image of your fabric but you must add a 3/16 seam allowance to the INSIDE of this image of your background fabric.

Okey dokey. I followed that right up until the 3/16th inch seam thing. Huh? So, when you're cutting the pumpkin from the already-cut freezer paper, you cut 3/16th into the paper? Does that make any sense? I didn't know how to word the question. Interesting. Well, Janstar, your final product is wonderful....however you did it! :lol:

There's more.
-Clip curves and points.
-Apply fabric glue to the backside edges of your freezer paper image and fold the fabric over. This will keep seam allowance in place while you applique.
-Pin the pieced sq. behind the opening next to the glue and applique. If you wish you may use a stabilizer underneth the applique and remove it when finished.
-Applique in place.
- Trim the pieced fabric leaving 3/16 saem allowance from the applique stitching. Remove freezer paper.
If you can figure it out, more power to you!!!
