Is needle-turn the preferred method for applique? I don't care for machine applique.

It's definitely mine - I enjoy handsewing.
|
It is mine also. I love to do needle turn.
|
Any sugestions on doing needle-turn or will it come easier with practice?
|
Hand-applique for me!! I don't know if it becomes easier, because its actually a very easy technique. I just think you become more at ease and start to enjoy more.
Just relax and enjoy!!! :D :D No worries!!! |
Just relax asnd enjoy the process. The more you do it, the easier I find it becomes.

I don't have the patience for needle-turn. I did it a few times and I just like the look of satin-stitched applique better. I think I select patterns that fit the machine method better. I am sure if I was planning on making an antique-looking quilt or a show quilt, I would go with hand-applique, but since most of my quilts are quilts kids use, I like making sure that my applique is VERY secure.

I've never done needle turn. I use freezer paper and use my iron to press so the seam allowance is stuck to the freezer paper.

It depends on the look I want. I do enjoy needle turn.
a hint? get some of those little applique pins. I'm cheap so I kept using my regular pins. My thread would get tangled. I got some of the little pins and have been kicking myself for not doing it sooner. |
