Needle turn appliqué
I am an amateur when it comes to appliqué and it seems to be a lost art.
I’m working on a BOM that threw a curve block that needed to be appliqués. I have no idea how to do the corners as they go into very thin tiny corners. Does anyone know of videos to watch or websites that might be helpful? Thanks.

I look on YouTube when looking for help on techniques like this. Just type applique in the search bar and you will get many options. If at first you don't find what you need, just do another search. So many videos.

Points can be tricky but keep the seam allowance small like 1/8 inch so it can tuck under the point. I sew one side down to the point and then you can sweep the second side under the side you’ve sewn down.

Agree on the 'Piece O' Cake' ladies. They go into great detail on technique. I bought a book of theirs and it's great to have on hand for reference.
