    1. Upload design to your cutting machine software.
    2. Place HTV on the cutting mat carrier side facing down, load mat into desktop cutter, cut material, and remove from cutting mat. Repeat for remaining colors of HTV so that you have 26 petal details for each color.
    3. Use scissors to cut the design from each HTV material to save any unused material. Use your Siser® Weeder tool to remove excess material and cavities from your design. You'll be left with just the mirrored design on the clear carrier sheets, which are slightly sticky.
    4. Install rotary blade into the cutting machine. Place fleece that you want to cut first on the cutting mat, load mat into cutter, cut felt, and remove from cutting mat. Repeat for remaining colors of fleece so that you have 26 petals for each color of fleece.
    5. Set EasyPress to 335F.
    6. Place cut HTV on top of corresponding fleece petals, cover with cover sheet, and heat apply by tacking down (pressing for 3-5 seconds), then peel carrier hot.
    7. Once all petals have been heat applied (26 of each color), make 6 rows of 10 petals and 5 rows of 9 petals HTV side up, alternating long and short rows and alternating colors of petals, according to template provided. Each petal should be about 3" apart.
    8. Place a piece of monofilament on top of each row of petals starting at the end of the first petal to about 6" past the last petal, taping the ends to the surface you are working on so it does not curl.
    9. Run a fine bead of hot glue along the monofilament on each petal and sandwich a petal of the same color on top of it HTV side up. Once all petals are used, you will have 11 strands of garland to hang.
