TIPS &
TRICKS
To create the look of realistic, multi-dimensional flowers, the
stitches are densely layered, and sometimes require hidden
appliqué to keep the stitches from pulling. To maintain
the integrity of the designs, and prevent pulling and fabric
puckering, we used Pellon Weft 860F, fusible backing which
strengthens the back of the fabric and gives the stitches a
stronger foundation. Depending on the fabric you choose
for your projects, you may need to use 2 or even 3 layers of
fusible backing. Try stacking the layers with alternating weft
directions to make it even stronger.
