I'm putting a vine on the bottom corner of a quilt, it will go partway up the left side, and across the bottom as well. I don't have a piece of green fabric big enough to cut it all out of one piece, I'm going to have to "join" the fusible.
How do I join the vine and keep it neat? |
Hi Blue, i had to read it twice and I think I understand what you are saying. Okay you have a vine and the fabric is not big enough so you end up with two pieces of fabric to join. Make one of the vines longer and tuck it under the other. fold over the other vine so that you donīt have a cut edge to fray. Hope this makes sense ??? :D

Hi Blue, if you have a leaf or a flower on the vine, use that to disguise the join :D
|
I had no idea how, so I'm very interested in this

I agree with Izy and Butterfly. there are several ways to do it. I have never used fusible, so I'm afraid I'm not a good resource for that. I have also just taken the two pieces of vine, basted under a "seam allowance, and laid them so they just touch.. then use a little "invisible" stitch to join them together when they are stitched to the fabric.

If it's a vine, I'm presuming it's cut on the bias? I would join the fabric pieces to the needed length before ironing on the fusible, and then cutting to the correct size & shape.

I would do it as thimblebug suggested too.
