Dawn Heese BOM #4

Mamie had a camera just like mine, so she loaned me her battery charger-------------so I'm back in the photo taking business!  Here is the 4th BOM that I am doing------------learning to applique.  I have been using freezer paper on the back, applying spray starch with a brush  to the seam allowance,  ironing the seam allowance to the freezer paper, and then removing the freezer paper before I applique the motif to the background fabric.  It seems to be working for me-------except for those dratted sharp points!!!!!
