GO! Stems & Leaves

How to Die Cut Stems & Leaves Shapes:

Apply fusible web product to the wrong side of the fabric, following manufacturer’s instructions, before cutting for fusible appliqué. 

Cut strips or fabric scraps 1/2" wider than cut shape. Place folded or layered fabric on selected blade and cut. For these asymmetrical shapes, place fabric on die all in the same orientation to yield the shapes all facing the same direction. Place fabric right sides together on the die to yield pairs of shapes.

• Leaves: Cut and fuse 2 1/2" x 3 7/8" rectangles. Cut 16 leaves across the width of fabric. One yard of 40" wide fabric cuts 144 leaves.
