    Default Crafted appliqué-Lara Buccella

    Have you used this book or method?

    How do you like it compared to other appliqué methods?

    Thanks,
    Margaret

    its a raw edge technique, and I worry about what happens when you wash them.

    I do raw edge applique all the time. So far, it is holding up well with each washing. But, have to be honest, I've not used this technique in a lot of quilts yet. Just table toppers and small wall hangings.

    I worry about raw edge applique and do it mostly on wall quilts since they are not washed as often. Searched on Google and couldn't find out what makes her applique so different.

    I believe she uses ModPodge or something like that rather than fusible web. Then you do whatever you want around the edges...I've seen pictures of flowers done with a straight stitch.

    Have several row-by-row patterns/kits I picked up last summer that I want to do and some are very applique-intense. If there's something easier/better than using fusible web, I'm all for it.

    Wanted to know what others thought of the method before ordering the book.

    She is on Facebook and has a free give away if you want to give it a try before committing. https://www.facebook.com/profile.php...239722&fref=nf

    I think she may be doing what I do with a product called "OK to Wash it". I use a small square brush to put it in a narrow strip around the applique and stick it down. I only do this on wall hangings.

    I bought the book on Amazon, but it hasn't arrived yet. I love applique but like yourself, if there is an easier method, I am all for it.

    Let us know when you get it and have had a chance to review the process. It might be worthwhile to try.

    I bought the book from Lara, it is great. I am ready to roll and try it and am excited to have applique that is not fused or ratty edged!
