I want so badly to learn how to applique...I've got the easy pieced quilts down to a tee...just wantt o go to the next step and learn how to applique! Any suggestions of websites or online videos? THANK YOU!!!! :lol:

search the tutorials here and there are you tube videos too

Oh, I can see another board member getting hooked on applique. Have fun with it. You will love it.

I taught myself to machine applique with Harriet Hargrave's book:
http://www.amazon.com/Mastering-Mach...dp/157120136X/

Highly recommend that book if you want to learn different machine applique techniques. I have done some hand applique, but my hands and fingers are not typically proportioned and my hands cramps up very quickly with hand work.

Hand or machine? there is tons of stuff on you tube and tutorials here and elsewhere...have fun..I taught myself hand applique while make the Quilt Hugs and Kisses by Sue Garman...it was a BOM on the Quilt Show...by the way, it is still not finished, have to do the border...ran out of fabric and put it aside

Here's the link to our QB applique section. Has tutes & patterns. You'll learn a lot.

Is everyone getting the message board? I didn't get one yesterday or today. Does that mean I need to do something to get it?

Getting mine

This is my favorite applique book "Applique the Basics and Beyond: The Complete Guide to Successful Machine and Hand Techniques with Dozens of Designs to Mix and Match" :

http://www.amazon.com/Applique-Basic...ref=pd_sim_b_5

Lots of different methods described.
