Advice needed for Heart Appliquéd
Hello, I’d like to know if there is some advice to get a nice heart shape appliquéd. The bottom angle point is ok, but the center between the round shapes? … How can I do it nicely???… Could somebody help me?
Thank you!
Patricia

What method are you using? Here are a few different ways that you might like to try.
I use the spray sizing with freezer paper method and that works for me. I put the tiniest amount of elmers glue in the centre of the heart just to hold those few stray threads.

At the V of the heart, clip to down to your stitching line. Then take tiny stitches up to the that, take another stitch in the V, then continue on up the next side. Hope this is as clear as mud. lol.

There are some great tips in here - http://www.quiltingboard.com/main-f1...s-t213900.html
I know that because I started the thread, particularly with heart cleavage troubles of my own

Keep practicing! It will get easier. Maybe see if you can find any videos to watch. It does help to be shown. I was a self taught appliquer, but once I took a class I learned everything I had been doing wrong, and it got so much easier.

Needle turn is a different look, and it has its advantages, too. It's all personal preference, there's no wrong way.

When I have a tough applique, usually I'll use a lightweight lining (lightweight muslin for example), sew right sides together, finger press seam, clip, and turn. I have an easier time clipping the edges properly that way. For an inner notch like the heart cleavage, I'll put a pin in where the bottom of the notch should be and aim for that when sewing. I used to always needle turn but I find this easier for complicated appliques.
