  • You can glue the centre of the pieces to hold them together for sewing or if want, skip this step.  Feed your flakes into the sewing machine or sew them by hand.
  • If you go with the sewing machine option leave the foot down in between the flakes and gently pull the thread that had already sewn together out of the back of the machine, leaving a bit of space between each of the flakes.
