CREATING THE FRONT
Trim away any excess base fabric
on all sides of the block.
TIP
Run the stippling for the base of the block.
After the stippling, you should see the
placement stitches for your first appliqué.

We can trim the base fabric
because this block has a
folded fabric border that will
serve as the seam allowance.

Make sure to match the
stippling thread color to the
base fabric so that it does not
detract from the overall design.
