Layered (multiple piece) applique??
I'm new to applique and my current project requires that I make applique pieces with multiple pieces.
I'm doing raw edge fusible web applique. I want a base picture (bunny) and on the bunny will be eyes.
My question is ... do I fuse the smaller pieces (eyes) onto the larger piece (bunny) and then fuse the completed bunny to the quilt top? Or do I fuse the bunny first then the eyes over the bunny?
Oh ... my applique pieces are batiks that I'll be adhering to flannel ...if that makes a difference.
I'm thinking I complete the bunny first - then fuse the completed bunny. It would be less fabric to stitch through when I finish the edges of the raw edge.
Not yet sure how I will finish the edges ... possibly satin stitch but I might also use a clear poly straight stitch then blanket stitch around it for that old fashioned look.
