To draw the template  you will need:

1. Compass: Speeed Bow from Pacific Arc is optional*
2. Cardstock: 12" X 12" allows for extending division lines.
3. Protractor:  Used to divide the circle into 8 sections
4. Pencil or pen

*Pacific Arc Speed Bow Compass is available from: Pacific Arc. 

The deluxe set is under $20.

Two Templates are drawn as one, and cut apart:

Draw a circle the diameter you need on cardstock 

1. Divide the circle into 8 equal parts using a protactor.
2. Divide the circle in half with a line.
3. To one half, add 1/4" seam allowance to the concave curve.
4. To the other half, add 1/4" seam allowance to the convex curve.
5. Cut on the solid lines to make the template. The dashed line is the stitching line.
6. Place the template on a fabric square and draw the cutting line.

To Make the Fabric Patch:

• Cut two pieces of contrasting fabric, using each of the templates. 

          Size should be about 2 inches wider and longer than finished leaf.

• Clip the seam allowance of the concave curve, near but not on the stitching line. You may wish to draw your seam line on the fabric with chalk.
• Pin the two pieces together matching division marks. 

     The piece on the bottom will be flat, while the piece facing you will have  folds radiating from the stitching line, and the seam allowance will spread where clipped.

Stitch with a 1/4" seam allowance and a 1.8 length stitch.

Finish the Patch

1. Press the patch flat.
2. Trim one seam allowance slightly smaller than the other to reduce bulk.

Apply the Patch to the Background

and make the QuikPrep™ Stitch

A pin at the beginning and end of the split leaf seam 

on the pattern 

will indicate the placement of the fabric patch.
