A few weeks back, I took a quick class at a LQS to learn to machine applique. We made a flower in class. A few days back I arranged a few blocks around the flower, added border and quilted it. It measures about 8x20 and I added a sleeve to the back to hang it. I like it.

Thanks for looking.

What she said, espcially the double quilted grid! Very cute. So for machine applique did you use the blind hem stitch? That is the one that takes like 3 straight stitches then a single zig zag to catch the applique then straight then another zig zag?

Thanks, I loved quilting this one.
Yes, I used the blind hem stitch with invisible thread for the top and the bobbin and a size 6 needle. The edges are also turned under. It is a lot of fun, I can't wait to try applique on other projects, I already have many in mind, but unfortunately, a day only has 24 hours.
