Layered patchwork?
 

Tartan, I agree with you. I also like the look of 3D embellishments, like pinwheels, but I really wonder what they look like after washing. Sounds like a good technique for a wall hanging.

They kept mentioning that the hexagons are laser cut so with the 1/8" stitching, there SHOULD be no problem. I have worked with the pinking edges by RK and I didn't like them.

Each time they've done one of these layered patchwork videos, they have talked about how the pre-cuts work with this technique. Pinked edges: curl when washed, with minimal if any fraying. Bias edges: Do not fray. Laser cuts: they are sealed and therefore do not fray, may produce a bit of a curled edge.

I may try it sometime on a table runner or something. I can see where the curled edges would lend a casual, rustic dimensional effect. My main concern is I feel it wastes background fabric, but that could always be cut away if it were that big a deal.

I have seen this technique too, but don't think that I would want to try it. Although it is attractive looking.
:D :D :D :D

I suppose it's a way to have quilters buy their products. I liked the look of the piece on the video but I don't think I would do something with raw edges. Just sayin'...

Is this different than raw edge appliqué?

Tartan love to see this technique buts I've been through Jenny's tutorials and can't find it. Anyone got a direct link please?

I just watched this video last night and didn't really like the edging.

Here's the link. I'm really puzzled about the comment that laser cut pieces won't ravel. Just applying heat to cotton isn't going to fuse the edges. I'm wondering if something is applied, although the descriptions say 100% cotton.
