Good sources for letters are coloring books and embroidery transfers.

Applique Letters A-J Applique Letters K-Z
Your letters should be approximately 6.5" wide x 8.5" tall. I marked off a 6.5" x 8" area
on a piece of paper and drew letters large enough to fill this space, using our pattern as a guide. You can also
use a copy machine to enlarge our letters.
|
Create Your Letter
Cut a 7" x 9" piece of each of the following:
letter fabric
fusible fleece
fusible web
|
|
Follow the directions on the fusible web to fuse the web to the wrong side of your letter fabric. If you are using
Wonder Under or Heat N Bond (carried in our store), lay down your letter fabric, wrong side up. Place the fusible web
over the fabric, paper side up. Iron over the paper side to fuse the web to the fabric.
Place the fusible fleece down, right side up (adhesive side is slightly rougher and is the wrong side)
Peel the paper off the wrong side of your letter fabric. Place your fabric right side up on top of your
fusible fleece. Iron over your fabric, fusing the wrong side of your letter fabric to the right side of the fleece.
NOTE: our letters are backwards so they can be traced to fusible web in other projects. For this project,
urn the letter pattern over and hold it up to a window. The letters will show through the paper.
Trace over the letters (they will not be backwards on your traced side). Place your pattern over the "letter sandwich" on the right side of the fabric and cut out your letter. Set aside.
Repeat for each letter.
