testing......

Tonight I reset all the applique pieces so that they are evenly placed on both sides. I am satisfied now that it is all set properly. Tonight or tomorrow I will be able to iron on the appliques then I'm on to sewing them down.

and that brings me to testing. I fused the different colors of silk onto the deep red silk that the chausible, then I tested a couple of different stitches and thread colors. Unfortunately the colors don't show up as well as I'd like in terms of a photo, but I have settled on the stitch and which colors of thread go with the different colors of silk on the applique. Hooray
