The Gathered Folded Edge Flower.
This little ditty is exactly like the Gathered Raw Edge Flower except, yep-you guessed it, it has a FOLDED edge exposed, rather than a raw edge. You're very astute today.
So of course you're gonna start with you long strip of fabric. This one is about 1" by 22".
Then fold in half, and with your machine baste along the RAW edges. 
See?
Now gather it all up.
And start rolling it at one end to make a little bud.
And the on the bottom you'll secure it with a couple of stitches through all thicknesses.
Now keep rolling it, 
and keep securing it at the bottom, 
until it's all rolled up, and you secure the flower by taking stitches from the center to the outer edge, all around the bottom.
And that's it folks.
oooooh, this one's my favorite. And is it awful that I DREAD hand-stitching and opt for hot glue instead?! It makes me feel like a big fat cheater.
We had a blast with you guys at the library yesterday, let's get together again soon. Josie cracks me up!
Love the tutorials of flowers. So useful! But. Are you just using any old fabric you have (I'm guessing, yes) or do the flowers work better with other types of fabric? Also, are you just using normal thread? Your thread looks more heavy duty for some reason.
Good point. I've never touched on that subject, have I? I bought fabric for this, because I wanted all the flowers to be monochromatic. I've been using a lightweight Chiffon-like fabric, and lining (lining works really great because it's so thin) for these flowers. Anything works, but delicate fabrics give the flowers a delicate look. I only get an 1/8 of a yard, though, it doesn't take much. I'll be doing tutorials for flowers where you burn the fabrics today, and I'll be more specific on what kinds of fabrics to use.
Oh and I'm just using normal thread.
