907 - Marvelous Melon Quilts - Husqvarna Viking

5. Cut the leaves and fl ower pieces out,
following the patterns. Arrange the
pieces in the following order. Begin
with stems, then leaves. For the large
fl ower, layer the smaller petal on top
of the larger petal. Because you are
using Steam-A-Seam 2, the fl owers
will stick, without fusing, so you can
rearrange as you work. Next add the
stamens between the petals. The center
is composed of four parts, the large
circular shape, the star shape, the large center
circle and the small one on top. Position these
in the center of your fl ower. When you are
happy with your arrangement, press with steam
to fuse in place. Arrange the smaller fl ower with
the petals fi rst, layering the small on top of the
large, then the stamens and fi nally the calyx.
Press with steam to fuse in place.
