Hello from Huntsville, AL

Great tips. I sometimes use "used dryer sheets" to sew on back of fabric and flip right side out.
Of course then adjust edges and press. Generally the shape needed is smaller than a dryer sheet.
(I get my daughter to save her dryer sheets since I really don't use them.)

Welcome from Madison, AL. I am so happy to see so many from our area.
It has been years since I did any quilting and then I did applique by needle turn. Now I am anxious to try out new ways so I am going to save this thread to refer back to. Lots of great advice from some talented quilters!

Hi, I live in Huntsville. Do you ever shop at Patches and Stitches . They are a great quilting store. They are on Humes Avenue. Just stop in anytime and someone can help you with any questions you may have about quilting. Appliques are my favorites and, depending on the pattern, I applique with a blanket stitch by machine.

pm me if you're interested either way.
Oh and Hello from Huntsville also lol
For applique I like to do the fusible interfacing way - fusible and right side of fabric together, sew, turn iron down, topstitch :) Easy Peasy. I saw it on one of the quilting shows on tv and haven't done applique any other way since - unless it is for a wall hanging - sometimes I do the heat n bond way for those.
