I use graph paper and double sided tape when I join Suffolk Puffs – to make sure that I get the first few rows straight. The double sided tape keeps the puffs in place while I’m stitching.

I use a brush to fray the edges when I do raw edge appliqué

The way I burn the edges

Narrow strips of Steam-A-Seam2 – to help joining individual blocks.

Cutting and folding strips – to join individual blocks.

First iron on the fuse and then the folded strips – before stitching it all down.
