I thought I had tried every method of applique'
* needle turn * raw edge with blanket stitch * rag edge * back-basting * invisible thread with machine stitch not to mention the ton of ways to prepare your applique' shapes: * freezer paper (wax side up - Kim Diehl's method) * freezer paper and starch * spray adhesive * fusible adhesive * cereal box templates and starch * plastic templates and starch OK, so the list goes on! And now I've tried "free-motion" applique' on the sweetest little pillow topper. At a retreat given by Kellie Wulfsohn from Australia, we used raw edge applique' pieces with fusible adhesive, added a couple of layers of wool batting, grabbed a pair of new garden gloves to get a good grip, dropped the feed dogs, then straight stitched around each piece two to three times. Once the pieces are on, quilt in a few swirls. I gave the freemotion quilting a good try, then I brought it home and used my longarm... I know, I cheated! But I did learn another fun way to applique! A unique designer, we're bound to see more of Kellie's "Don't Look Now" designs... patterns... classes... and even a line of fabrics for Riley Blake Designs coming next Spring. I first found her on this Board, with one of her quilts in a picture of "Doll Quilts" in the header. Here's her website: http://dontlooknow.typepad.com/dont_...-fabric-1.html What's your favorite method of applique? |
oooh how pretty!! What a great method, I have been trying a few different ones myself. I have done fusible, needle turn, back basting, and rag edge. I am picking up some misty fuse to see how that works soon too. Your pillow topper is stunning!!
Cheers! Rachel |
Beautiful quilt, love the quilting also.

Thats just beautiful. I have yet to try freehand quilting or applique by machine. I just always do it by hand.

It's gorgeous! When you did your straight stitching around your pieces, it looks like you stopped & changed thread colour to match, right?

Love that, but it is one of those things I cannot imagine ever doing myself except maybe on a small wall hanging- on things that are made to be used, doesn't the fabric ravel when you have to wash it?
Well done, your work is beautiful. |
Very pretty. I'm just learning to applique but I must try this. Can you tell me if you can wash this method of applique in the washer?
Thanks, Mary |
very pretty....love it
