Paper Template Cutting Instructions

This pattern includes instructions for raw edge appliqué, therefore the printed template size is the actual size of the finished patch. If you wish to use turn under appliqué techniques, add a ¼” around all sides of each template and appliqué using your preferred method.

Use scissors to cut out Template A and Template B as well as Templates for the Bee Body, the Bee Wings, all (3) Bee Stripe sizes, Bee Eye and Bee Smile.

Some templates will be traced with the right side of the template facing up, and some will be traced with the wrong side of the templates facing up. This is to create a mirror image. The right side of the templates (printed side) show the template name, the wrong side of the template will be blank.

WS = Wrong Side RS = Right Side
