Hi! I'm new to the forum but excited to talk with other quilters.

I went to our local quilt show and a woman who had fabulous quilts with lots of excellent applique on them, told me she used the Madeira applique method. She told me briefly how to do it, but now I can't remember.

Has anyone used this method or know how to do it?

It is the freezer applique w/a satin fancy stitch on the applique on fabric...:)Skeat

Thanks! I will take a look.

Her applique didn't look like it had a satin stitch with it, though. It was completely smooth and looked almost sewn into the fabric.

Thanks for the link.

Welcome to the board LBelle, from Southern California

That was a terrific "how-to" page. I'ts possible that I didn't notice the pin point stitching around her applique. I enjoyed looking around the website. Thanks.

Thanks for the Welcome!

Here's some more LBelle..you might even search in UTube to see if there are any hidden videos on this out there:)

Here they are talking about Martha P. having a book on this! Might check your library for it...go to: http://forums.marthapullen.com/read....&i=3140&t=3140 to read more of their discussion.
