Ok, this is a really long tutorial, and since I've had a lot of PM's about the quilt in my avatar, I figured that I'd make a tutorial with a new pattern that I just made up.
Please bear with me, this is a long one. Step 1 is to pick your pattern. You can use whatever one you want. The one I'm using is one that I just designed - called Fairy Prayers. Remember that when you do fusible applique, all your images are REVERSED! Tracing the largest fairy - I used red so you can see [ATTACH=CONFIG]212218[/ATTACH] Largest Fairy - Traced [ATTACH=CONFIG]212219[/ATTACH] Fusible Is Expensive - I use as much as I can. Tracing the smaller fairy leaving only a small gap to cut [ATTACH=CONFIG]212220[/ATTACH] Both Fairies Traced [ATTACH=CONFIG]212221[/ATTACH] The cheap scissors I use. 99cents around back to school time.

Ok - that's how I do it. Hope it's helpful to someone

Very explicit directons and good pix! Thanks.
|
thanks for showing the steps
|
Your a great teacher, thank you..
|
After you fused the fairy to the background fabtic, do you do a needle turn applique or do you just leave it as is and quilt around it?
|
You can do either akisan - This is going to be a wall hanging, so I'll leave it. You can blanket stitch around, or another type of raw edge.
|
Thank you for the tutorial :D:D:D
