I do a blanket stitch around my appliques and any
fancy stitches that you want within the applique before I sandwich my quilts. Hope this helps. |
They are great quilts. I love poppies! and you have all the info you need! The chicken quilt is fab'!!

Fantastic Quilt, sure you got lots of options here, so enjoy the journey

Here is an other option. Using thead the same color as your flowers do a hem stitch along the outside of the flower and it will take a little bit into the flower. You could also use invesable thread. You really need to sew your flowers down before you quilt. At least that is what I would do.

I don't know if you have ever seen any of her (Patsy Thompson) videos, but she does some great tutorials, including quilting on applique. By the way, your applique is gorgeous! Please post on your finished piece. I think I may have bought that pattern recently and will have to watch some videos myself. |

You must stitch all of the applique down. Use Satin, blanket or decorative stitches, but definitely appliques secured before sandwiching.

Check the tutorials and see if you can find a tute on this. They say a picture is better when haveing a spot of trouble. Helen
