Planning, Cutting, and Marking
The beige large floral squares are cut 7 9/16". If you are not familiar with cutting 1/16" intervals, note that 9/16" is halfway between 1/2" and 5/8".
To fussy-cut the 7 9/16" squares from the beige large floral print, make a template from clear template plastic. Include seam lines so you can center the motif. Place template on floral motif, centering as desired. Mark around edge of template and cut out.
| Note: Appliqué template is printed without seam allowance. Click here to download template diagram in PDF format. |
