Click on "Download this Project" for patterns and Appliqué Placement Diagram. To use fusible web for appliqué, complete the following steps.
1. Lay fusible web, paper side up, over patterns. Use a pencil to trace each pattern the number of times indicated in specific shirt instructions, leaving at least 1/2" between tracings.
2. To prepare appliqués with regular edges (patterns D through K), cut out each fusible-web shape roughly 1/4" outside traced lines. Following manufacturer’s instructions, press fusible-web shapes onto backs of assorted fabric scraps as indicated in specific shirt instructions. Let cool, then cut out fabric shapes on drawn lines; peel off paper backings to make appliqués.
3. To prepare appliqués with raggy edges (patterns A through C), cut out each fusible-web shape 1/4" inside the traced lines. Following manufacturer’s instructions, press fusible-web shapes onto backs of assorted fabric scraps as indicated in specific shirt instructions, leaving at least 1/2" between fusible-web shapes. Let cool, then cut out fabric shapes about 1/4" beyond the edges of the fusible-web shapes; peel off paper backings to make appliqués.
