Using a sewing machine stitch around each shape following the line. The double straight stitch or "stretch" stitch, is just a little more sturdy.
After you have sewn each shape, cut off your little threads. Remove the freezer paper. The stitch line creates a perforated edge, carefully fold it and gently tear. This is when the double/stretch stitch is crucial. Otherwise, the stitching could rip out.
Pinch and separate the t-shirt from the fabric and clip a little slit. Carefully cut around the stitched edge leaving an 1/8 inch of t-shirt next to the stitching.
easy peasy lemon squeezy! Supercutestuff!!!

This is fabulous! Thanks for the tutorial. Your appliques ARE supercute :)
Thank you so much for this tutorial -- i found you by way of googling for a reverse applique t-shirt how-to, and your instructions are great. supercute AND superclear. i LOVE it.
by coincidence, i was planning to use anna maria horner bohemian fabric -- a charm pack -- for my reverse applique even before i saw your tute. how small a world is this? my t-shirt (really my daughter's) spells out the word "hooray." her idea -- she's nine.
anyway, by way of thanking you for showing my how to make a fabulous t-shirt, here's my small tip. Use your computer! Choose your font (I like the one on jcarolinecreative.com), type your word(s), size it, then flip it horizontally and print it right out onto the freezer paper. The print will show through when you are ironing your fabric onto the shiny side of the freeezer paper, so you save a step, especially if you are using all different fabrics for each letter.
