TIP:
I would suggest to either make paper templates first so that you can easily arrange the
pieces onto your fabric and have the pattern saved to use again.
Use a light weight non-fusible interfacing rather than paper to trace your design. It will
last longer and the interfacing is much wider than printer or butcher paper.
