Thread: What I learned at the quilt show

wonderful! it's always lovely to learn something useful. i went to the qlt show and didn't find much to buy. I thought i'd find a great template or tool to use but didn't. then found i couldn't use my gift cards to buy anything!! very upsetting. that was one reason i went! to buy things

Can you share what the method is, or direct us to a site where we can see/order etc??

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.

Okay! This I want to see!!!!! Thanks

I strongly dislike applique, but love the look of it. I'll keep watching to see the tute. YAY! Thanks!

Thank you for the information... am just really getting into applique and love finding out different ways to do it... look forward to your tutorial..

I was very interested in learning more about this technique. Is there a tutorial on this? I couldn't find it. Thanks. I'm off to the Minnesota Convention on Thursday, I hope I see inspiration ideas and techniques as well.
