Background fabric• Cut size of background fabric is 12-1/2” x 12-1/2” NOTE: I always cut my background fabric to size after the appliqué & embroidery are completed

Appliqué Layout• Cut & match up the 4 pages of the design layout matching along dotted lines for a full scale placement drawing

Appliqué Templates• All templates are full scale & reversed• Dotted lines on design layout refer to appliqué sections where that piece lies under another piece• Appliqué pieces in this order:

1. Skating Pond - This whole piece is going to be under other pieces so you can just tack it down. It will be sewed down when you appliqué the other pieces surrounding it.2. Snow Section 13. Snow Section 24. Snow Section 35. Walkway6. Snow Section 47. Big Tree

* Trunk* Tree - Layers starting from the bottom & going up
