I disliked all the traditional applique methods - needle turn, freezer paper, raw edge etc.
A good friend and great appliquer taught me a new and very easy way. I'm not the world's best instructor so bear with me. Use non-fusible web. Trace your design on it. Cut it out leaving a large seam. Place on the right side of a large enough piece of your fabric. Sew on the line you made on the non-fusible web. If you do this by hand, make tiny stitches. Trim to 1/8th or 1/4" around the design Make a slit in the web and turn it so the right side of the fabric now shows. Use an orange stick or something like that not too sharp to even out the fabric Iron flat on the fabric side Ready now to applique to whatever surface you're using. The method is best with curves and smooth edges, not so hot with points. Appliqued circles on Susan's quilt [ATTACH=CONFIG]115066[/ATTACH] |
