Adding Applique
The E-Z Way
Basically I cheat. I use iron on adhesives. I glue my pattern to the back of the iron on. I then cut it out. And iron the pattern on and WIN!!
To begin I need the fabric. I has been recommended to me to use the cheapest satin possible. It unravels the least. I havn't experimented with other fabrics. But cheap satin does totally work. I print out my design, Pearl's star, full size. And I had some Loctitie 300. You could use other glue. I recommend a spray glue.
My fabric is a little wrinkled.
Here is my iron on material. It is EPIC. So useful!!
Once I have ironed on the iron on material. I then glue on my pattern to the paper of the iron on material. You can glue to the paper of the iron on, because you will be removing it.
I then spent about about a half hour getting it positioned right. I measured from the seam points on the neckline. From each point to the top of the star. I kept moving the star until it the two measurements were the same, well within a 1/16 of an inch. But that made sure the star is centered on my chest.
BAM STAR!!!
It is machine washable, Just use cold water. And if the tips of the star start to come off, a quick hit from the iron and you can readhere them!!
