I'm still looking for my hand applique tute!! But I did post a few other tutes. I tend to mix up all methods - hand/machine/applique/piece/paper-piece - and find some "different" ways of putting things together. Some seem awkward, but they work for me!! I will never (I think I can safely say that) ....wwell almost.... machine applique. I say almost because in some "child quilts" I have done so. I think with a nice decorative blanket stitch or invisible zig zag it looks passable but hand applique has such a nice rounded finish to your piece. Just try to make sure you use matching thread until you are comfortable with the look of your stitches.
The reason I combine methods - Sometimes, especially with small blocks like Jane's, when you make a mistake and need to "reverse sewing" the correction is made much faster and more accurately with a few carefully placed hand stitches.
I did give a detailed tute of I10 here:

I actually posted a lot of tutes back then, so if you have a few minutes go through a few pages after that one. I also showed how easy it is to use small pieces of fabric for Jane's blocks. I found a fabric called "Crossroads to Texas" I used not only for J3, which has the look of many different prints in one blocks, but also fussy cut that fabric for 4-5 other blocks as well.
I found the tute!! YAY - start here:

In post #2191 I also mentioned a great online video. Then I took some progressive pics of hand piecing 2193-4
(don't look at the very dirty finger nails!!)
Hope these help!
