Anna Maria Horner has come up with another way to prepare circles for appliqué. It may help me form circles from those I’ve already cut out and that I had trouble forming with starch, an iron and some Perfect Circle templates. She makes use of the heat conducting properties of aluminium foil. It looks very promising so I thought might give it a go.

These photos show my results. I’m impressed.

If you’d like to give it a go, here’s her blog post.
