You sew them down on both sides with a little of the fabric from the piece you are outlining under it.

Here are mine - I have made 3 sets already and they are lots of fun to make. I buy fusible black bias with my Joann coupons and then sew it down with a twin needle.

Love this pattern - can you give me the name?

Thanks!

There are some that you do a black material as the background and then the other pieces are put over it and the lines are from the black material. I will try and find the link there is a free pattern there.

I've been hand stitching a reverse applique Celtic BOM which uses black iron on bias. I hate it! it doesn't matter how I iron it on - you definitely need to use a HOT DRY iron - it always manages to lift in some places. I have it pinned everywhere. There are 12 side blocks - have almost finished #11 - and one centre block 36" x 36". That one is going to be a nightmare! The only way I think I'm going to be able to do that is to iron on a small section, stitch it, then iron on another small section...
