The video shows this clearly, making it easy to follow. You now have a piece of fabric that is triangular at the bottom and rectangular at the top (5).Make sure the edges line up at the top and then holding the left-hand lower side of the fabric flip over, lay flat and take the top right corner and fold to the left, creating another triangular pocket at the bottom, lining up the edges neatly (5).Lifting the top layer from the top left-hand side with one hand, keeping a finger on the other three layers, open out the fold to the right so a triangular pocket is formed (4).Finger press the right-hand side fold (3). You now have a small rectangle with the folded corner in the lower right-hand side. Now fold in half again from right to left, lining up the corners.Fold the rectangle in half from the bottom up, line up the corners neatly, then finger press the fold (2).Place the shorter end of the rectangle horizontal with the bottom of your worktable and wrong side on top (img1).Make a knot in the two ends so you have a double thread that is 13 inches long. Thread a hand sewing needle with a piece of thread that will match the color of the front print on the butterfly, make it about 26 inches long, and pull through so the ends meet. Back at the machine, starting at the middle of the gap run a row of top-stitching all the way around the edge of the rectangle, 1/8 inch (3mm) from the edge, sewing across the gap, whose edges have been turned in and pressed, and back tacking at start and finish, so you have a sealed rectangle. Make sure the color thread matches the main fabric color, and if using for example a red print on the front and a white print at the back that you thread your machine with red on the machine and white on the bobbin so the colors blend with the fabric. When you are satisfied that the seams have been pushed out and the corners are neatly flattened, iron the rectangle, making sure the edges at the gap are neatly turned in so no raw edges show. Use a knitting needle or chop-stick to poke out the corners and run it along the seams to make sure they lie flat. Turn the fabric right way out by pulling through the gap left on the long side of the fabric. This gets rid of excess fabric that could make your corners look bulky. STEP 4: Trim cornersĬarefully trim across all four corners, taking care not to cut too close to the stitch line. Repeat until you have worked your way right around the rectangle and are back at the upper edge of the opening where you will back tack and cut the threads. When you reach the corner, at ¼ inch (6mm) from the edge make sure the needle is down, then release the presser foot so you can swing the fabric without losing your stitch position. Proceed to sew from the lower edge of the mark ¼ inch (6mm) from the edge, back tacking when you start. Place the two rectangles right side to right side and line them up, then make a 2-inch (5cm) mark on the long end of the rectangle. (METRIC: 10 cm height multiplied by 0.7 = 7cm, cut fabrics 10 x 7cm) To make it smaller – say 4 inches multiply 4 x.(If you are using metric measurements that would be 15cm, multiply that by 0.7 giving you 10.5cm, so cut your fabrics 15 x 10.5cm)
