The best machine applique class for me was with Creative Feet inventor Clare Rowley. Her Satin Edge foot is wonderful for machine applique, it does a lot more than the satin stitch. Her you tube videos are long but full of information.

Did you see that the kit does NOT include the background? You could use a solid white, which would calm it down considerably.

Hi Peckish!

Yep I noticed but I didn’t like any of those muted fall colors that made up the flower petals. For me, the entire look seems to fall flat. I think I like the vibrant rainbow of colors from the original palette so much more. Yippee is not doing it for me. lol
