Needle-turn Applique and assorted Applique Notes
 

I recently took a class on needle-turn applique. There were no handouts so I transcribed my notes and added sketches. I learned a lot so I thought I'd share my notes with my quilting buddies.

Topics covered include
Preparing the freezer paper pattern
Preparing the fabric pattern
Basic instructions
Shapes (Square, Leaf, Heart, Stem, Circle, Flower)
Supplies
Perfect Circles
Freezer Paper with starch
A little bit of English Paper Piecing.

The attached is a pdf file

Martina, thanks for a great tutorial. You could be the teacher. This will came in handy. Thanks so much for sharing it with us. Mary

Thank you very much for sharing :) It was a wonderul tutorial, and I learned alot.

This is a great tutorial. I have saved it in my files and will print it out for my notebook. I love the way you also included the pictures showing exactly how to do each technique.

Thank you so much for this tutorial. I will save it.

WOO HOO Glad you got it uploaded :thumbup: ssshhhhh now tomorrow art work I will print it out :rolleyes: LOL

I have found that if I leave the freezer paper on the top side of the fabric and I dont have to reverse the pattern or iron the seam allowance under. I just needle turn under using the edge of the freezer paper as my guide. It saves alot of time.

That is a neat tutu, thanks for sharing. I have already printed my copy.

Thank you for the very detailed notes. I see they suggest DMC 50 wt., do yourself a favor and give YLI 100 wt silk a try. I recently switched over and its just a dream to use.

Thank you for sharing but also for taking the time to do this tute for us. Much appreciated.
