Hi kitsykeel, there are no dumb question in quilting god knows i had many and still have them it is easier to applique before the sandwitching
quilt as you go give you that option like i did mine I sandwitched the 3 layers and applique it is a little thicker if you were to do it by hand but much easier on the machine I didn't do any quilting because the triple stitch and so much applique is enough to hold the layers together. Do I make sense? Sound like i am rambling. Maybe some of the ladies can explain better than me about the technique. Thank you for looking.
