For this project, I have chosen to machine appliqué . It is your choice and adaptable to many other techniques including hand appliqué, raw edge, satin stitched, decorative stitched, as well as buttonhole stitched.  \nIt is made up of two blocks across by eight rows down.  \nThere are 4 Scales on each block, which consist of 7 Scale shapes.  \nI recommend ironing and starching your fabrics before cutting.  \nSupplies:  \n• A sewing machine with adjustable tension and small zigzag capabilities, in good working condition, along with an open-toe presser foot, so that you can clearly see the stitch while sewing.  \n• A hot iron with a pointy tip-The tip of your iron needs to come to a point rather than be too rounded because you will be ironing the excess of your fabric to the backside of your freezer paper template.  \n• Sharp fabric scissors  \n• Stiletto (a sharp object like an awl or bamboo skewer) that you can use to manipulate fabric  \n• Monofilament thread (my preference is YLI Wonder Invisible thread, colors: Smoke & Clear)  \n• Bobbin with polyester thread similar to the Salvia background color  \n• Freezer Paper, you can use grocery store freezer paper, but there is a printable freezer paper by C. Jenkins that is 8-1/2 x 11” that can be used in your inkjet printers.  \n• Applique Pressing Sheet  \n• Hot Iron Cleaner  \n• New Microtex/Sharp 70//10 needle  \n• Pins or Wonder Clips to hold your Scales in place while you appliqué  \n• Batting  \n• Backing  \n• Optional: Mag Eyes – magnifying glass system to enable you to see clearly while sewing tiny zigzag.  \n3  \nGeneral Sewing Tip:  \nBecause there are several fabrics that are similar in color, we recommend that you take a sticky label and label each of your Watercolor fabrics to ensure that you will be cutting the correct shapes from the correct fabrics.  \nUsing your Salvia 1895, cut your 16 blocks from your background fabric [9” x 29 1/2”] .  \nYou will be building 4 Scales on each of these pieces.  \nThere are 4 types of Scales (consisting of 7 pieces) on each block, having one set of each. You may decide to place them in any order. As you will see, I have rotated their positions and colors on each of the background blocks.  \nMaking Your Templates  \nWhen machine appliquéing, you will find that the preparation of your template  \npattern pieces is important:  \n*Detail:  \nThere are two different sides to freezer paper,(waxy, sticky, shiny or backside) and  \n(dull aka top paper.)  \nTracing:  \nUsing a lightbox, trace each of the seven shapes on its own piece of regular freezer  \npaper, on the dull/top side.  \nNote: When working with freezer paper, the wax transfers when heat is applied. Therefore, your iron and ironing board pad could get smudged. Using an applique pressing sheet, against the paper’s waxy side while ironing, will help with this. Thereis no way to totally prevent this wax from getting on the bottom of your iron. Thereis a product called Hot Iron Cleaner that will clean up your iron nicely.  \nOnce traced, iron a second piece of freezer paper to the back of your traced template sheet by placing the waxy side down on your ironing board and cover it with the piece that you have traced the templates onto, again, waxy side down ontop and iron the two together, using a hot iron.  \nYour template will now be thick enough to reuse for each of your Scale shapes.
