YES, YES,YES, I have a project started UFO That I have set aside because
the quality of my applique is not up to my standards. This is a very special project
and I want it to be just right.
I've read about and tested several methods and am excited
to see what others have found the most succsful.
Thanks craftybear great idea.

Oh, I think I will try this on something. I think a chain stitch would look good on an edge.Originally Posted by gramipam
a friend of mine is doing the most beautiful applique. She is doing a chain stitch on the raw edge of her applique. she's never done it before & it is really something to see!

Me too - count me in! I use the freezer paper method and do needle turn. I would love some tips on how to handle the really small pieces - my current applique project is a quilt as you go hexagonal quilt blocks with the applique designs modeled after Mexican tile patterns. Do you do needleturn on the really small pieces? I love Baltimores but they look so intimidating.....

I think about an inch and a half is the smallest piece I've handled and I do needle turn. I just finished watching a tutorial on UTube again, trying to study those points again!

Count me in too. Needle turn applique is my most enjoyable quilting technique. The picutre in my avatar is a needle turned Rose of Sharon hand quilted quilt that I did for a friend of mine for her and her hubby's wedding present. I used the McCall's online pattern and tweeked it. If anyone needs help with applique please pm and I will help if I can.
