Question about applique.
I saw Elaine's HST quilted by Charisma and I wondered how the black outlining got around the flowers and leaves on the outside border. I understood it was done by hand not machine. I like the way it looks.

i never noticed the black outlining, but it sure is a nice look. perhaps it is a narrow zig zag applying the applique by machine? |
It look like to me that it is a simple outline stitch done very close together and holds down the edges instead of needle turn applique. JMO. :)
|
Yup. Looks like machine satin stitch. Nicely done.
|
Can it be machine satin stitched if the whole quilt was hand made? JMO. :)
"She hand pieced the whole thing from HST's to the Needle turn applique. Pretty amazing..it's all PERFECT!" |
I thought it might be a really good hand embroidered stem stitch used to sew the appliques in place. Kind of like Red Work but with a fabric shape in the inside of the outline?

I enlarged it to 200% because I was interested in the outline also. It looked to be a satin stitch outline.
