fabric shapes on drawn lines. Peel off paper backings.

Set up your machine with a blind hemstitch, monofilament thread or matching cotton thread in the needle, and cotton thread in the bobbin. Using a stabilizer under foundation strip, and working from bottom layer to top, machine-appliqué around edge of each shape.

2. Referring to Bee Appliqué Placement Diagram, rows 2–6, repeat step 1 to make

six appliquéd foundation strips total.

3. Using water-soluble marking pen, transfer antennae stitching lines onto appliquéd foundation strips.

4. Set up your machine with a featherstitch, turquoise cotton thread in the needle, and cotton thread in the bobbin. Machine-zigzag-stitch antennae following marked lines.
