I have often wondered if one could reverse applique by machine. Since you have experience with it by hand, what is your thought of doing by machine? Just wondering.
Your work is beautiful. Congratulations. Love the fabric/color selection.
My answer is yes with a little forethought . I did hand stitch but didn't like it so I did machine . Here is a close up. You would have to work out how to turn edge hold down to sew. Perhaps a glue stick etc.
