Choose a stained-glass fabric for the second set<br />
of cutouts and position it under the snowflake,<br />
right side up. Pin in place.<br />
Satin stitch around the second set of cut-out<br />
edges. From the back, trim the stained-glass<br />
fabric close to the stitching as before.<br />
Continue in this manner, adding stained-glass<br />
fabrics, satin-stitching, and trimming until all<br />
the cutouts are filled. Layer the stained glass<br />
snowflake onto the background fabric, matching<br />
centers, and satin stitch around the outside<br />
edges.<br />
Once the stitching is complete, soak the snowflake<br />
block in water to dissolve the Solvy.<br />
So many possibilities, so many snowflakes! At<br />
least these cutwork snowflakes don’t need to<br />
be shoveled! We hope you’ve enjoyed learning<br />
this updated heirloom needlework technique<br />
while making lacy snowflakes, snowflake quilt<br />
blocks, and sewing a stained glass snowflake. z<br />
