Using Chenille with these pillows:

1. Make the nap of all your pieces go the same direction, whichever direction you choose.
2. Choose solids with chenille.
3. Cut around the basting stitch, but don't cut it off.
4. Pick out the basting stitch.
5. Cut down the middle of the three top layers of the applique.
6. Spritz water on your cut dots.
7. Rub at an angle, in circles with a nail file.
8. A lint roller or leftover fusibles can help clean up the chenille.
