What is Petal Power
Petal Power is a printed interfacing pattern for creating fabric petals. The petal shapes are printed directly on the interfacing, giving you a simple guide for sewing and trimming your pieces.
Use the large and small petal shapes to create flowers, appliqué, quilts, pillows, seasonal projects and more. Because the shapes are already printed for you, there is no need to draft and repeatedly cut individual paper templates.
The panel includes 12 large petals and 12 small petals, with multiple cutting layouts depending on your fabric size
