It turns out that my little method for perfect petals seems to work just fine for these little heart shaped petals as well.
Here’s how I did it:
Take your little template
Cut your fabric
Sew a running stitch around the edge
Place your template on the back side of the fabric.
Hold down the start and stop points of the thread
Pull tight. When you do this you will get the heart shape without really trying!
Starch
Press
(sorry I couldn't resist that caption)
Remove your template
Now you have the perfect little heart shape petal needed for Block 7!
I’ll be back on Friday with Block 7!
What a great way to make these petals!
