I take 2 pieces and fuse them together first then make my shape and apply to my project. It really helps with light colors. You may be able to add it without taking it apart. I have also pulled pieces off by reheating them with the iron and pulling thm off while they are hot and the glue is soft. Good luck with express you love!Kristinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10695728117373061095noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2766211193464475676.post-47743252213637386642013-01-14T20:06:00.384+02:002013-01-14T20:06:00.384+02:00http://youtu.be/krSHQX0CuFE here is a link that wi...http://youtu.be/krSHQX0CuFE here is a link that will help you to mark your whole cloth.Marelize Rieshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06523406413464303882noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2766211193464475676.post-21619482323674711292013-01-14T19:58:41.112+02:002013-01-14T19:58:41.112+02:00Are you having trouble tracing the design onto a p...Are you having trouble tracing the design onto a piece of fabric?

I used a sewing film that I had from doing Photo Quilting , traced and started to sew pattern , in the end you are supposed to be able to iron off and it will disappear not so. I only did a bit so will be starting over any suggestions thought to use tracing paer or freezer paper and start with outline first?? or my grandson is an artist I can get him to draw picture on material if need to Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07493053852476010424noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2766211193464475676.post-44464323036969881322013-01-14T15:34:44.493+02:002013-01-14T15:34:44.493+02:00It will be fun to watch your transition!

I'...I like what you've done with her hair. I've not tried this technique, but if I understand correctly, your pink fabric pieces are turned under and fused to the black background. I see how this is a problem for the seam allowance showing through. (If you only fuse the seam allowance, can you cut the background fabric away from under the pink?)<br /><br />I think it's entirely likely you won't notice this on the finished top, though. I am not happy with the (lack of) intensity of color in my colored-pencil ribbons after they were sealed, but there is going to be so much colorful thread between the words and echo of the words that I think it won't matter.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2766211193464475676.post-15185951416195844662013-01-14T06:32:17.854+02:002013-01-14T06:32:17.854+02:00Thanks Pat, I considered buying the panel too, but...Thanks Pat, I considered buying the panel too, but since I live in South Africa, postage is just too expensive and takes what feels like forever, so I thought of using what I already have...Marelize Rieshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06523406413464303882noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2766211193464475676.post-3064224254680760082013-01-14T06:29:28.450+02:002013-01-14T06:29:28.450+02:00French fuse is a light and thin piece of fabric th...French fuse is a light and thin piece of fabric that has a textured side that you can 'fuse' fabric onto, which is exactly what I've done here, trapunto is great idea, but doubt it will hide that ugly seam allowance.

Could you not fuse an additional pink fabric on top of your existing pink? I haven't seen this kit before - and I thought it would be pre-printed, or is that only the spoonbill kit? I'm sure you will find a way to do it!Sharron Keckhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02277717727691844119noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2766211193464475676.post-80879695799409629482013-01-14T01:46:43.921+02:002013-01-14T01:46:43.921+02:00For the colored sections, you could trapunto them....For the colored sections, you could trapunto them.
