You would have to in order to turn the fabric under. Do you remove a little at a time? Would you mind providing a little more information on this portion?

You do waste some fabric, but it sure beats making plastic templates and dealing with starch or glue sticks.<br /><br />I was thinking of doing this block by hand. It looked simple enough.

Do I understand that you are basting it as a means to mark where the applique piece folds and also where the piece should be stitched down? And after you have done the basting, you pull out the basting thread before you start the needleturn and just use the holes from the basting as a guide?
