With those narrow tree branches, it's just important to keep the seam allowances trimmed really close (no more than 1/8") after you baste the shape. I haven't found an applique pattern that this method doesn't suit.<br /><br />I will say that it's helpful if the pattern has the motif arranged for the final block - as opposed to a pattern for a snaowman (for example) that has the body, head, nose, and eyes laid out separately in the pattern, but even that is do-able with some planning.

Have you found a time when this wasn't the best process? If so, what was the issue and what process did you change to? Gee! I am excited to try this! Thank you so much for the demo!
