FUN Machine Applique Piece
 

I want to share some pics of a machine applique piece I just finished binding. I started it in a class in June called "I Can't Believe It's Machine Applique" with Carmen Geddes, and had such a great time learning this applique technique! The piece measures around 18" x 20" or so and I did a curved binding on it just to add a little more "movement". I did the freemotion quilting on my DSM (Juki TL98Q). Even the crosshatching in the background was done with a freemotion foot rather than a walking foot. I marked the lines first and then just went for it. It was actually easier than I thought it would be and was great practice controlling my speed/stitching as well as starting and stopping smoothly.

I'll definitely be incorporating this applique technique into some of my future works.
Hope you like it!
