Dianne, I would use both. I would layout the vines in a long layout trying to get the general shape right for smooth curves. Use
pins to hold them in place, then I would go back and take a pin out, use a dab of glue to keep the placement and do that to the
entire one border. Then heat set the glue with an iron. Then it is really easy to sew with no shifting as you go. HelenW

Thank you, Barbara Black, for telling Alex about the trifold bias for the stems! Works great, and so much faster than other methods. I got about 5 1/2 yards out of a 17 inch square. I pieced it like you do with making the tube for bias binding. Just in case anyone wants to know how much you can get out of the extra fabric.

I “goofed” and cut my borders way too narrow. Don’t know where my mind was!!!! Anyway, I NEED about 2 yards more to recut them. Do you know if there is more of the white available that I can order?
I feel and so does my husband another white fabric takes away from the “floating” of the spools.
If you don’t have it can you give me the info on it to try to find on line? m in S. CA and there are no quilt stores near me.Thanks

If anyone has a die cutting machine and would like to use it for cutting the flowers and leaves, I went ahead and made a cut file for it. It is pretty huge, though. I am going to try and do fusible appliqué for this. Need to fuse the fusible to the fabric first, but I am going to try it. I may do a test cut with one set of leaves or something to try it out. I have not cut fabric with a fusible on my machine yet. I would be happy to share my file.

Happy to say I found more white fabric on line and should have it in a week or so. Thank you Alex for stating in your video yesterday the names of the 2 white fabrics. That got be searching quickly. I’m sure its the correct one.
Also, thank you to the lady who offered her scrap piece. Quilter’s are so helpful. In the meantime i will start making flowers. Going to use my Scan and cut to cut the shapes.

fusible side up on the right side of the fabric. Stitch your seam allowance, clip a slit in the cutaway and turn it inside out. Then place on your project fuse in place and edge stitch the applique. With the Appliqick stabilizer you make turned edge applique by cutting the stabilizer to the finished size of the shape. Fuse it to the back side of the fabric. Cut the fabric with a quarter inch seam allowance. Use the glue stick and the Appliquick rods to turn the seam edge over the stabilizer. Both could be used with this project.
If you use Cutaway with applique, it is best to use for shapes with gentle curves and large enough to turn inside out.
Appliquick Stabilizer can be used with really small applique and points that are fiddly to turn the edge on. I love using the Appliquick rods
and a glue stick for doing turned edge applique. If you have not watched Rosa Rojas show ( I think it is 1912) it is a must see if you like appliqué. Since Alex flowers, leaves and center circles are good size either would work. HelenWLast edited by Helen W.; 06-04-2021, 09:43 AM.HelenW

You can also use the Appliquik just as a stabilizer for the raw edge pieces. I have been using it because I had a big supply of it. I used it for prepared edges with glue on this project. For the stem I folded it in thirds like Barbara Black suggested but I also added a 1/4" Clover fusible on the back of the stems to iron it down as I apply it.
Did anybody tally how many petals large and small and leaves large and small they are making?

If they do and you still want to use it, you can use a light weight fusible interfacing on the back side of white fabric before
cutting the moon shapes. HelenWHelenW
