I’m reminded these days, as I busily work on new samples for spring market, that I really LOVE my applique pressing sheet. Do you own one?
Do you know what they’re for?
Well, let me explain then you’ll want one of your very own!
You start with a bunch of these (pre-fused applique pieces).
Lay applique sheet over pattern template. Can you see Santa? I’m sure it’s clearer from my viewpoint. Layer the fused applique pieces on the pressing sheet.
I usually do this on my ironing board, but my paper template is huge for this piece, so next I transfer the applique sheet with applique pieces on it (very carefully) to the ironing board.
Fuse it all together.
Peel him off the applique sheet and Santa is one piece instead of six. And if you still don’t know why I love this, here’s what I can do with him:
I can put him here, or
here, or anywhere else I want to without juggling six pieces.
I’m not sure where this guy will end up, but he’s all ready to fuse and stitch.
Now you know what I’ve been up to. What have you been sewing? Can’t wait to show you the finished product!
Until next time,
Susan
