See It? Make It!

by Kathy

Find a picture you like.

Print it out as a poster, four to 6 pages depending on how big you want it.
Now tape the pages together to create the picture.

Trace every line on the front with a marker that bleeds thru the picture.
Next, turn the poster over and retrace the lines.
You will use the backside for the pattern pieces.
Draw them individually on Pellon applique paper.
Next, iron the pieces onto the backside of the fabrics you choose to make the scene.
Use the front side and a Teflon applique sheet to put the pieces back together
** hint** some lines have to overlap to join them, use adhesive dots to help you do this.

When you get the picture the way you want it, pop it with a hot dry iron.
You can now peel the picture off the Teflon sheet and place it on something and iron it down.
You’re ready to embroider the picture and you can use embroidery designs to embellish it.
