Turned-edge applique


1. Cut out shape from ShirTailor. Leaf pattern is first cut from 70 # paper (below).
2. Iron ShirTailor onto wrong side of fabric.
3. Cut around shape, about 1/4" outside the edge.




4. Make little slashes along curves, right down to ShirTailor, but not cutting into it.
5. Turn the edge inside and glue it down with UHU glue.


6. Sew it onto your piece, using either machine or hand applique technique. For this, I like hand applique.
