tip tuesday: cut smart! (part two)

Today’s cutting tip has nothing at all to do with cutting fabric, but it will help the edges of your fusible applique stay nice and neat:

Make a small cut into the paper-backed fusible paper before you iron it to your fabric. This will give you a place to grab the the paper and remove it gently without destroying the edges of the applique.

happy quilting! =(^_^)=
