Use your cutting guide page
in the pattern to cut all of your
fabrics and interfacing pieces...
then trace!

Sew onto your traced lines:)

Trim your seam allowances ...

and make two clips on each
inner curve
of the pears like this:)

Cut an "X" in the interfacing...

and use your turning tool to
smooth out the edges
after turning right side out.

Now it's time to trace your
embroidery lines
onto the leaves...

and the stems onto the background.
First place your pear about
2 1/4" down from the top edge
of your background
and then trace your stem on top.

Press your background in half first
so that you can center the pear:)

After your appliqué and
embroidery both
are completed...
Turn them into circles...

Soooo...
just in case
you are wondering
why there's a heart
in your template set...
it's because
I heart you!
I have a few things planned
for this little cutie
and I'll show you the first one
on Wednesday so stay tuned!
