Sewing all of the pieces of the fabric stem together

Then you are going to play your quilt batting stem on the table. Following that place your two green fabric stem pieces pretty side together on top of the quilt batting piece. Pin your stem pieces in place making sure to leave the bottom open so that you can turn it later. Then stitch around the stem using 1/4″ seam or your pressure foot as your guide. Remember don’t sew the bottom of your stem close. After that trim the edges of your stem but be careful that don’t cut your seam. Turn your stem pretty sides out through the hole you left at the bottom. Press you stem flat.
