Now that you have all 20 sheets cut, then the next step is to fold them all into the modules. follow the instructions below and the pictures above to fold the modules
fold each piece in half length-wise, and then fold in half width-wise. Then open the last fold, which is the width way, and fold the bottom left side to meet the inside crease and do the same to the bottom right side. Next, flip it over and fold the outside corners into the edge of the paper, now fold the flaps down over the edge of the paper and fold it in half over the center so the flaps you folded down are now on the inside. One module has now been finished. Now you must repeat those steps until you have 592 modules.
Wings’ modular 6 is professional embroidery software that consists of 14 modules. Each module has different features in order to be easier for you to decide which modules you actually need. You can buy the modules you want and create the embroidery software that fits to your every day embroidering needs.
This seems tedious and extremely time consuming, but it is very relaxing and meditative especially if you absently fold them while listening to music, an audiobook, or while watching a movie. Your hands will learn the correct moves and you will be able to start skipping the second fold and just eyeball the folds inside. Again, it is not crucial that you have every single piece perfect. I have used some really messed up modules to make an entire swan and it still looked just as stunning as any other.
