There are other birds just as cute, like these two, and I'll definitely be adding them to my stash as soon as I can. I think a quilt would be adorable with all of them.
The Crafter's Edge fabric dies work perfectly with the Crossover II, cutting up to six layers of cotton fabric. When using felt, I found two or three layers to be best. The dies are flat so it makes it convenient to store them.
The directions are always easy to follow using their diagrams and/or instructions.
You can adjust the pressure on the Crossover II if needed.
I love using ThermOWeb's Fabric Fuse Adhesive in different ways, including applying felt on felt. It holds it in place without shifting. Just add a few drops to the back (you don't need a lot) and place it where it needs to be. You can stitch over it, so no worries there!
Cut two 6" x 6" squares for behind the bird and for the back of the pincushion. Sew around all the edges, but leave a 2" opening to fill the pincushion with walnut shells or stuffing (whichever is your preference.) Use the Fabric Fuse to close the opening, let it dry, and then sew it closed. Going around the edges will help strengthen the edges.
This is a fast and easy pincushion that can be gifted or kept for yourself. Either way, it's a sweet project!
