    I have done some applique, but not a great deal. I want to one day learn reverse applique. I love using steam a seam 2 as opposed to needle turn, then either hand or machine blanket stitch after it is attached.
    Nice to see you here CraftyBear

    Default Let It Snow

    I also do mostly raw edge applique. I finished my latest project today. This one took me a few days because of the checkerboard border. That and because I only worked about an hour each day. But it was a fun project after doing all the larger quilts I've been doing. I also have a memory wall hanging for my grandson that should be finished next week.

    There are some good videos on needle turn appliqué, just put needle turn appliqué in the search box. If you can hand stitch down a binding, you can do needle turn appliqué. Just takes some practice, like anything else.

    Craftybear: I started a hand appliquie quilt a long time ago. Probably about 10 years ago. This make me want to pull it out and finish. When I started, did not know much about it....probably still don't, but I'm one of those who will try it. I enjoy hand quilting...it is relaxing......

    I'm not an expert but do enjoy the challenge as long as it's not overwhelming. I do the needle turn version while watching my favorite shows on tv.

    Default Applique"

    I love to applique'. Most of my quilts are applique'. I do all mine by machine. I use either a satin stitch or a blanket stitch, depending on the pattern. I have sold most of my appliqued quilts but I do still have 2 that I recently finished and am entering in a local quilt show next weekend.
    The dogs I have finished now and gotten all the eyes and noses and embellishments on and have it quilted. I have also gotten the Woodland Creatures quilted and bound since this pic was taken.

    Also recently did some place mats with sold before I finished them...I'll have to make another set for my table now! LOL I saw a pic of a wall hanging with the blue bonnets and decided this would be easy enough to convert to placemats, so I drew out my pattern on a graph paper pad and went to it!
