How to Use the TR600 Coin Ruched Blossom Guide<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"
Marking the Fabric Circle<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Cut 7 3\/4 to 8 inch circles of fabric for blossoms. Fold circle in half with the grain. Place TR600 Coin Ruched Blossom Guide on folded circle with etched dash line on the fold.\u00a0 Mark with your favorite marker. I use Mircon Pigma, Frixion or ceramic mechanical to mark the scallops and the dots.<\/p>\n

\"\"
Step 2<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Open circle and place etched dash line on the fabric fold line, lining up the center dot to mark the other half of the circle.<\/p>\n

\"\"
Stitching the Petals<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Thread a milliner needle with matching hand quilting thread and knot. Fold raw edge under so folded edge is at the point of any scallop. Sew a 1\/4 inch running stitch around each scallop, turning the raw edge under as you go.<\/p>\n

\"\"
Finish Gathering<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Sew around last scallop but do not knot or finish off.<\/p>\n

\"\"
Measuring<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Patterns will call for specific sizes. Measurement is taken across the gathering line. This one measures 3 inches.<\/p>\n

\"\"
Blossom Ready to Shape<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Looks like a little pilgrim bonnet at this point.<\/p>\n

\"\"
Preparing to Applique<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Use basting glue or 4 quilters pins to position blossom. Then with milliner needle and hand quilting thread, stitch between each petal to applique in place.<\/p>\n

\"\"
Backside View<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
\"\"
Gathering the Center<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Find the center dot and stitch in place, by coming up and back down in nearly the same spot, then repeat for all the other dots, in any order you come to them.<\/p>\n

\"\"
Completed Blossom<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
\"Tulip
Blossoms as Tulips<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Or you can stretch them out with the petals all together to make tulips.<\/p>\n
