I love love love needle turn applique! I always have! I have been doing applique for 10 or more years. The more I do the better I get. I teach it as well. My last student needed to perfect her skills. She sees improvement as do I. I like it because I can sit and watch TV and work on it. I use applique needles size 10 or 11 Roxane's. I use freezer paper on top and I use 100wt silk. I take really small stitches in the fold of the applique pieces. I am happy with my results. I truely love the art and hope it stays alive for a very long time. Luann
