Machine Applique Blunder & need opinions
#1
I am a beginning quilter and I did a couple of applique blocks. I was so afraid to tackle applique but I did it and it turned out very nice so now I want to do more, however, I didn't know how to do it correctly and never gave it a thought until I was finished. Yep, tying off the threads at the beginning and end of my stiches. I have been going thru my craft library and getting rid of unwanted and old books and lo & behold I found a book on sewing machine techniques (wish I would have found that one sooner) anyway, it showed several ways of doing the very thing I needed to know. Now, I have been thinking of using some Aleene's Fabric Fusion that I have on the back side to seal the thread ends. Is this o.k. to use on my quilt????
P.S. My avatar says it all......LOL
