Fusible appliqué stitching sequence
Hi. I’m making placemats that will have fused letters on them. I plan to just straight stitch the perimeter of the letters to support the fusible. Do I do that stitching before quilting the placemats or can it be done in the quilting process? What do you recommend? Thanks in advance. Last minute Christmas project

I agree. I would definitely stitch the letters down I quilt. Otherwise, the fusible you're using could come loose and your letters be placed where you don't want them. if you stitch the appliqued letters first, you won't be revealing that stitching on the back side of the placemat -- I think that's previously been pointed out.

Thanks for your advice on this. I think I went against the majority vote, but am happy with the results. I stitched around the appliqué in the quilting process to save time and here’s a couple of pics. I quilted them on my domestic machine and am I bit rusty having a Longarm now, which was already loaded with a big quilt. Merry Christmas everyone!
