Here’s what my portrait of Kodiak looked like yesterday – pinned to the full-size pattern on my design wall.<\/p>\n

\"DSCN3847\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Here’s a lesson I should have learned a long time ago – don’t<\/em> pin a portrait in progress to a vertical design wall – because when it’s time to fuse it together, and pins are removed, some of the tiny pieces will inevitably fall to the floor!<\/p>\n

\"DSCN3848\"<\/a>Instead it should be pinned to a small portable design wall, that can be propped up to view from a distance, or laid flat on a table or ironing board.\u00a0 So that’s what I did last night.\u00a0\u00a0 I pinned the full size pattern to\u00a0 one of my mini design walls (17 x 24 inches).\u00a0 Then I pinned a piece of parchment paper on top of the pattern – you can see the pattern through the parchment paper, so pieces can easily be positioned in place.\u00a0 Plus, the fabrics can be fused to the parchment paper, then peeled away later.\u00a0 Then I removed all the pieces from the vertical design wall, and finger-pressed them in place on the parchment paper.\u00a0 This is so much easier when working on a horizontal rather than vertical surface.<\/p>\n

Here’s what it looks like now – just about ready to be fused together.\u00a0 (I placed the mini design wall on the floor to take this photo.)<\/p>\n
