   1. Select the silhouette you want to work with.

3. 2. Place under a piece of Vliesofix* and trace onto the paper side.

   3. Choose a contrast fabric for your image. Place the rough side of the Vliesofix onto the wrong side of the fabric, iron for 30 seconds with dry heat. Allow to cool, then cut out your shape.

5. 4. Peel the paper off the shape, place onto the right side of the front cushion square (the larger square), iron for 30 seconds with dry heat.
