TEMPLATES
You will find the letting templates
on the pull-out pattern sheet.
MAKING THE WORDS
Step one: Trace over the lettering outline (on the pull-out pattern sheet) onto tracing paper then turn it over to the wrong side (WS) and trace over the lines to create a reverse pattern.
Step two: Place your Bondaweb paper side up on top of your reversed lettering pattern and trace over all the lines.
Step three: Place the traced Bondaweb paper side up onto theWS of the lettering fabric and press gently into place until it is firmly stuck using a dry,medium-temperature iron (don’t use any steam for this). 01
Step four: Carefully cut out all the letters along the drawn pencil lines. Make sure you cut them out accurately for a neat finish.
Step five: Remove the paper backing from each of the letters so they are ready to be stuck into place on your background fabric.
MAKING THE BUBBLES
Step one: Trace the bubbles onto the paper side of the Bondaweb.
Step two Place the traced Bondaweb paper side up onto theWS of your bubbles fabric scrap and press into place.
Step three: Cut the bubbles out along the drawn lines then remove the paper backing ready to stick onto your background fabric.
APPLIQUÉING THE FABRIC
Step one: Place the background fabric right sides (RS) up then place all the lettering pieces on top, referring to the pattern template for how to position them. 02
Step two: Place the bubbles in place in the same way, then press everything carefully to stick it to the background fabric.
Step three: Stitch through the centre of each letter by machine to hold them firmly in place and for a decorative effect. 03
Step four: Stitch around the bubbles to secure using a zigzag stitch.
MAKING A CANVAS
Step one: Stick the piece of mount board to the front of the frame using double-sided tape.
Step two: Place your appliquéd fabric RS up centrally on top of the mount board and pin into place around the edges. Do this by pushing pins through the edge of the fabric and into the mount board. 04
Step three: Turn the frame over to the WS and hold the fabric in place by stapling it through the edge of the frame, ensuring it is smooth so the appliquéd fabric has no puckers or creases.
