I love applique. I mostly do machine satin stitch or blanket stitch. Still not convinced that the blanket stitch will hold up in time with washing though.
We went to Maui for our 35th anniv. this year and my only request was to take a hand applique class. I loved it! I have signed up for another hand applique class at the Road to California show in Jan - Can't wait!
Can't wait to see what you all have done! Post some pictures please.
My best tip...don't forget to use stabilizer on the back...it makes a lot of difference on the machine stitching. I have been using coffee filters and it works great!
