Drawing Straight Lines for Applique

Nancy Tejo December 18, 2014

In this picture the template is the paper shape made from graph paper. To get a straight line onto the fabric top, first align a see-thru gridded ruler such as the Omnigrid brand, along the edge of the paper template.  Trace this edge using a chalk pencil, these two are favorites ( Bohin Chalk Mechanical Pencil and General's Chalk Pencil) This method  preserves paper templates and provides accurate sewing and applique lines.
