3. Cut just the top circle so that it looks kind of like a lily pad or a bubbly C shape, and lay it back on top of the stack.
4. Thread a needle and knot the end. Bring the needle up through the bottom of the stack in the center of the circles. Bring the the needle back down to the bottom of the fabric stack, making a small stitch. Repeat making another stitch that is perpendicular to the first, making a small X of stitches.

Pull gently on your thread to gather your stitches a bit. |
Pull gently on the thread from the back to gather as shown.

This is what your fabric stacks should look like. |
