APPLIQUÉS

Apply appliqués to the cut out pieces before sewing romper together.

Transfer details from guides to left front. and to toe pieces.

The outer edges of the appliqués can be finished with a straight stitch close to the edge, or with satin stitches. To satin stitch, use a medium zigzag width and a very short stitch length. Test your stitches on a scrap piece of fabric and adjust the length and width of the stitches as necessary.

Trace all the pieces for each chosen appliqué separately to the paper side of the paper backed fusible web. Place the rough side of the paper (web side) to the wrong side of the chosen appliqué fabrics and fuse.

Cut out all the pieces. Transfer any stitching lines to the right side of the appliqué.

Remove the paper from the cut out pieces and fuse them to the right side at the designated placements.

HOW TO USE A KWIK•SEW MULTI-SIZE PATTERN

For optimum results, READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS before beginning this project.

Pattern includes five sizes. Pattern is made to fit specific body measurements with ease allowed for comfort and style. Compare body measurements to measurements listed on the back of the pattern enve-lope and choose the size closest to body measurements.Compare the measurement of the finished garment, printed on the pattern piece, to body measurements. If the garment is loose fitting you may want to choose the smaller size.Select the pattern pieces for the view you have chosen and press pattern pieces with a dry iron.Cut out pattern pieces following lines for the selected size and view.

CUTTING Be sure to use fabric with the correct degree of stretch given on the back of the pattern envelope. Test the degree of stretch of fabric to the stretch chart on the pattern enve-lope. Preshrink and press fabric if necessary. Fabric layouts are shown for fabric with nap, one-way design, or shading.Layouts are given as a guide, if adjustments are made on the pattern pieces, this may change the position of the pattern pieces. Find the layouts by garment view, fabric width and size. Circle chosen layout.Fold fabric double, right sides together, unless otherwise indicated on the layout and place pattern pieces on the wrong side of fabric. If placing pattern pieces on a single layer of fabric, place pattern pieces on the right side of fabric.Place pattern pieces on the fabric with the arrow and the grain line in the same direc-tion. Follow arrows for correct grain, placing ends of grain line an even distance from the selvage and be sure to place pattern pieces with the stretch of fabric as marked on the pattern. Hold pattern pieces in place with weights or pins. Cut out pattern pieces, using scissors or rotary cutter.Transfer all construction lines, dots and notches to fabric. The easiest way to mark notches, center front, center back, and fold lines is to make tiny clips on the seam al-lowances. Or, mark with chalk or water soluble pen. If marking is needed on right side of fabric, mark with pins or hand basting stitches.Label pattern pieces on wrong side with tape.
