Here is a little tip for you.
1. Draw the pattern onto a hard cover paper (you can use tissue box packaging for this purpose, since you will be throwing it away after use). Draw the pattern onto the fabric as shown.
2. cut out the fabric along the drawn pattern, allowing approximately 0.7 cm - 1 cm seam allowance.
3. Sew along the pattern, then sewing area should be slightly away from the drawn line.
4. Put the paper pattern (front facing downward) according to the drawn pattern on the fabric, then pull the thread until the shape of the pattern appear.
6. Iron the pattern to form the shape, after that, take out the paper, pull the thread to form the shape again
7. Pin the pattern onto your project to be appliqued, sew along until the applique is beautifully stitched onto your project, then cut the thread.
You will surely going to make a neat and beautiful round shape applique without any failure.
*** If you are using freezing paper
