Appliqué PreparationCutting Instructions
See page 7 for general appliqué preparation instructions.
- To make the cranberry background template, use a 14" x 18" piece of
freezer paper, then fold it in half twice. Trace the background scalloped
template on the freezer paper, matching the fold lines of the pattern to the
folds of the paper, then cut on the traced line. - Iron the template on the cranberry wool felt then cut around the
perimeter to make the mat outer background. - Reuse the template from Step 1 to cut the backing fabric. Press it to the
backing fabric then cut around the perimeter approximately ¾" away from
the papers edge for a turn under allowance. - Once the cranberry background and backing have been cut, fold the
freezer paper template again and trace the oval line for cutting the black
background. Press it on the black wool felt then cut around the perimeter to
make the inner background.
