running vertically. Pin the edges

together. Fit a walking foot to the

machine and machine stitch around

the edges with a^11 ⁄ 8 in allowance.

Join the 2^1 ⁄ 2 in binding strips

end to end with a diagonal

seam, trim the seam and press it

open. Fold the binding in half, wrong

sides together and long edges

matching, and press.

24

Using the walking foot and,

starting on one side of the

cushion, sew the binding to the edge,

mitring the corners as you go and

referring to the Binding Diagrams

on page 80 for details for joining the

ends. Finish sewing the binding

to the edge of the cushion.

25

Turn the folded edge over

to the back and hand stitch

it in place.

26

Cut along one seam of the

cushion insert, remove some

of the fi lling and trim some of the

covering. Re-stitch the insert closed

so it measures 10 x 14in. Open the

Velcro, push the insert inside the

cover and fasten it again.

VAL’S APPLIQUÉ

TIPS As some of the pieces

are quite small and similar in

shape, remove the freezer

paper one at a time as you

position each shape, so there’s

no confusion. If you’re using

synthetic felt, lower the

temperature of the iron and/or

protect the felt with baking

paper or an appliqué mat.
