Applique Stick - Any one have this?
 

I saw it on The Quilt Show and looks interesting. Any one have this and use it? Where do you purchase it?

Can you describe what you are asking about? I haven't heard of an applique stick.

Sounds interesting, tell us more...

I found this tutorial:

I do freezer paper applique (for machine applique) with the freezer paper ironed to the wrong side of the fabric. I tried glue sticks, but found it's a lot easier for me if I use Elmer's white school paste. This is the old stuff we had in kindergarten 60+ years ago and smells of peppermint! Unfortunately, Elmer's discontinued making the paste. When I couldn't find it in stores locally, I stocked up online and sealed the ones I'm not using in a bag -- so hopefully they will last me awhile.

It looked like a metal stick flat on one side to turn the fabric on to the glued edge. I googled but have not seen anything like this yet. Will keep you posted when I do find it.

This is a great tutorial! Thanks for sharing...she is using a stilleto which has a smaller tip than then one I am looking for.

Took a pic from the video so you can see what I am talking about - the lady says they are from Spain!

You can pick up those cheapy little eyeglass repair kits. They work great. I use a wooden skewer also and just shave one end flat and squared. I have a poultry shears to cut the ends of the skewer. Of course the poultry shears are labeled for the craft/sewing room. The flat end of the skewer helps to spread the glue along the edge of the applique.

Another thing you can use is the 7 in 1 screwdriver you can pick up from your local hardware store/Home Depot or Lowe's. They're about $7.00. It also has a magnetic telescope. I have several for my Jeep, purse, and sewing/craft room.

Great tute....I really have to make hand appliqué a personal challenge soon...and this tute has really tempted me to start soon
