I'm thinking that you could, but wanted to ask before I spend money on a pattern that I may not be able to use. I don't want to machine applique, only needle turn.
Thanks.
i use anything. just be aware of need to add seam allowance. and be certain the pieces, especial w points or sharp inside curves are not too small to applique neatly. stay w sizes easy to stitch. i also hand baste, tend to do small and sometimes, even the nice little pink glue stick, is too fat for narrow seam allowance.
