you adhere to fabric with an iron and then peel the paper off the back and adhere what you cut out-- like a tree with a million branches --to another fabric. It comes as a tape or a roll that' s about 18" wide. I adhered the stitch witchery to the back of the tree fabric. Then I traced the tree pattern onto the paper backing. Then I cut the tree out. All of that took several hours. And the fabric for the tree ended up being about 4 inches too short so I ended up peicing the bottom of the trunk. I laid it out on the background and it looks pretty good. It is going to be a long process to adhere the tree to the background. I'll have to lay it out on the bed maybe and get all the little branches flat before I start pressing. Once it's adhered to the background, I can start adding my leaves. Before I started on the tree I add the borders to my red quilt. first I did the two inch yellow border.
And then I added the 6 1/2 inch red border. 
Now all that I have left to do is put it together and quilt it.

Not bad for a Saturday's work.
