Lay down the rasterbated heart over the background fabric. On top of the rasterbated image lay down the fabric pattern you just cut out so that it is laid perfectly in place. Once the pattern is in place you can start pinning the fabric image down through the paper so that the fabric cutout is pinned to both the paper and the fabric background.

Once this is done, you have to painstakingly and very carefully remove the rasterbated image from between the two layers. It is time now to slowly and carefully cut away the paper bit by bit until it is no longer between the two layers of fabric.

One method for doing this includes cutting away the paper right up to one of the pins holding the fabric in place. Putting a new pin right next to it that holds just the fabric together and removing the pin that was holding both the fabric and the paper. This will make more sense as you start to do it.

After all the paper is removed, pin down your foreground fabric more carefully so that it doesn't come apart while handling. Use the initial computer-generated image as reference to make sure you are pinning it right.
