Cut out the appliqué shape, adding a ¼” (6mm) seam allowance. If you are cutting multiple pieces of the same shape, make a template from cardboard. For each appliqué, cut two pieces of fabric. Sew each appliqué pair together with a ¼” (6mm) seam, right sides together, and leave a small opening for turning. Clip curves, notch outer edges and trim corners.
Turn right side out and press the shape flat, then turn in the edges of the opening in line with the sewn edges.
Position the appliqué and hand baste the appliqué in place. Catch the folded seam allowance so it doesn’t flip out to the right side. Edgestitch around the appliqué with a straight machine stitch, sewing your row of stitching an even distance from the turned edge.
