For those with limited drawing skills, I drew the 5 shapes that I used to make the table runner. Download the PDF file of these holiday ornament shapes. The printed decorations templates Once the shapes are drawn or printed, I trim the paper around them to make them more manageable. Do not cut on the lines. Trim the printed ornaments to a manageable size Trace the ornament shapes on the paper side of the HeatnBond Lite Iron-On adhesive. It’s OK if the shapes aren’t perfectly traced; if you look at mine, some are, and some aren’t. There’s no need to trace the little ornament holder part. Trace the ornament shapes onto the paper side of the HeatnBond Lite Iron-On Adhesive. Once the shapes are traced onto the HEATNBOND Lite Iron-On Adhesive, rough cut around each shape, again not directly on the lines.

After moving to Ottawa in 1996, I joined my first guild. I took more courses and began to buy quilting books and lots of fabrics. Quilting has become my passion. I have made over 150 more quilts since then, and have never looked back. I now share my knowledge of quilting by teaching and doing presentations, and blogging! previous post How to use the PFAFF admire air 7000 in your sewing room next post Unboxing the Husqvarna VIKING Designer Quartz 29 YOU MAY ALSO LIKE... 6 easy steps to assemble a quilt using... 5 simple sewing notions make fun blocks for...
