I generally like the freezer paper method but that generally requires slitting the back of the background to pull out the freezer paper. That works if you are appliquéing a single circle on a single piece of background. But I'm needing to put multiple circles on a single piece of background approximately 32" x 45" and I don't think I can manage the instability this might cause. So, your method is a god send. I do need to find some lighter weight/thinner cardboard but I can do that. <br /><br />I really appreciate you sharing your process!<br /><br />Happy New Year! from Colorado, USA.<br /><br />I hope the 2023 find you happy, healthy and creative!<br />queenbBeckyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12578961541551980558noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2603222641266424303.post-65317616129975429002014-01-23T19:05:52.408+11:002014-01-23T19:05:52.408+11:00I saw your quilt in Down Under Quilts today and lo...I saw your quilt in Down Under Quilts today and looked at the photos of the technique used and said "Hey that's my technique!!". What are the odds? But then I did a search and came across this post where you credit me. Thanks for that. That tutorial took me hours to construct so it's good to be acknowledged.<br /><br />Beautiful quilt by the way - congratulations on your publication.

I will press the circle on high heat & steam, both top and back, then remove the cardboard before pressing again. I will then place it on the background fabric, occasionally adding a dash of glue if a large piece (otherwise I may just use a pin) to keep it in place, and stitch around. I remove the basting stitches when I am about 2 or 3 stitches from the end. ... I'm tempted to try it out with some starch though - might make the edges a little crisper, and allow me to remove those basting stitches earlier. Something to try in the future, especially if I'm making more than a few circles!!
