Your avatar looks hand appliqued. Is that your first project?
I love applique. Only been quilting a year and at the same time started applique. Took classes on the plastic template method. Love it. Then our guild had Nancy Lee Chong here doing her Hawaiian applique, which is needle turn. Must say I really enjoyed that and would take her class again.
In January at our LQS we have a class starting, Applique 6 ways. Really looking forwrd to that.
Will try to follow this on the group but I am so lost I may never find you again. Will this be under the main topics???

Applique #25 Well if you have been doing this for 30 yrs can you tell me how to applique around little circles that I am suppose to put on my snowpeople for the mouth and for buttons? I cannot do this on my sewing machine. Will it look okay if I do that part by hand?

Would love to join in an applique club. I have been doing applique since 1992 or so. I took a class with Mimi Dietrich in Baltimore. Our project was a Baltimore Album quilt. Took me five years to finish. I've since done lots of applique. I find it very relaxing and satisfying. I have recently learned to machine applique, but it doesn't excite me as much as the hand applique. But it is a lot faster!

BettyJ, thank you for your reference; however I'm one of the ones having trouble getting around on this new site. Which topic thread is your "How To" written under? I only have 28 pages in this topic and it is one of the largest. If you were referring to an entry in this thread, it would be easier for me to find it by the entry number, i.e. this entry will be number 816 probably. Thank you.
my postings re Machine Satin Stitch Applique is # 774. I have also posted some info for reverse applique in #773.
Hope you find this info useful

I never se my posts...
But I , too, raw edge appliqué. I just took my teapots quilt to have it quilted, and my 'long arm lady' said it should be
shown. I was so happy. She is quilting it heirloom quality, too. So the hard work paid off.
