I did my first needle turn applique using Erin's Jingle BOM that others have referrenced. The shapes are easy but still interesting to do. I am now completing the fourth applique in the series and all of a sudden I can see some improvement, so there is some hope that I'm learning. I would say watch some videos then just jump in, the more you try the easier it gets. Not yet ready for Hawaiian Applique but having fun as I learn.
