Q R
Run the tacking stitch for the appliqué in a coordinating
thread color. NOTE: Since the appliqués in these blocks
are “hidden appliqués,” it’s a good idea to match your
tacking stitch threads to the fabric colors.
S T
Use a pair of appliqué scissors to trim the excess appliqué,
cutting close to the tacking stitch line.
Once trimmed, the appliqué will look something like this.
Take a piece of appliqué fabric and place it right side facing
up over the placement stitches, being sure to cover them
entirely on all sides.
