Thread: New-to-me applique tool....Have you ever seen this?

I know a lot of you love to do applique, and when I saw this video on You tube, I thought of you all. It's the Needle turn Applique without the Needleturn - Applique Brush. I've never seen it before, and I might just try applique if I can find this in the U.S. I like the idea of using a starch mixture instead of anything else, and I know you can just use a paintbrush, but this looks like it is a lot less messy. If any of you have tried using one of these, I'm interested in your opinion of it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bguP5a8X2sA

Look in the children's craft supplies. My grand has a refillable water pen brush that looks like this.

Thanks Onebyone, I knew there must be a less expensive solution to this "problem" for me. I'll be sure to search the children's craft section!

Try this..."nija water brush". I have three and use them for lots of art projects. You can find them online, Dick Blicks or Mr. Art, or at any art or craft supply store. They are not expensive and come in three brush sizes, S,M,L.

I just use a small tea bag dish and a small square paint brush to do the same thing. I have a tutorial posted here on the board that shows how I do it. i think I called it "Here is the applique tutorial I promised". Works great, and if you make a pressing mistake, you can just rewet it and try again. Easy peasy. I do use a sacrificial cloth on my ironing board to protect it from the excess starch.

Thanks for the post!

Thanks everyone, I looked yesterday at our local wally-mart, but didn't find anything. Not surprising though, as we don't have much in the way of crafts, even though it's a super mart.
I may or may not do any applique, but I thought I'd post about the tool above for anyone who was interested.
