I watched Sharon Shamber video on using "light weight foundation" (Pelon fusible on oneside) to applique and would never have tried without it! It stays on the piece and is easy to sew through. I'm so glad you found a way to help you! Do you know who your vendor is and if she has anything on-line? Here's the one I use. :thumbup: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YEeir...3&feature=plcp |
I will do up a short tutorial on the applique technique that she taught. The sewing down the applique, here is what I learned:
1. # 60 needle 2. VERY fine bobbin thread, found new stuff called invisafil thread 100 Wt. 3. I have a bernia as she did and she uses the #20 foot and #3 stitch reversed so it does 2 running stitches and 1 zig stitch. That's it. Looks great when you get done, can't see the stitches at all and the applique is stitched down solid. Some of you probably already know about this who have the patience to do trial and error. I don't have that patience so this was a wonderful help so I could cut to the chase and start sewing. Look for the tutorial within the week. I'll round up all of the supplies and I'm sure some of you have see this before also. |
That video was fantastic - I have watched a lot of videos on needle turn applique and I learned so much from this one - thank you
