Well, I've done a "little" needleturn, in my first quilt class a few years ago. I want to do that very thing though on some other projects. It is sort of like hand quilting...I thought it was dying out too and the machine quilters whizz right past us, if we're doing it by hand, but it is a little different kind of peacefulness you get in that. A lady in our quilt group does all kinds of this applique with a teeny-tiny needle and it is sooooo beautiful. Let's LEARN, guess we can find some you tube videos on this..
