So glad I went into the "Chat" area and someone suggested I take a look at your tutorial on applique.........you make it look so very easy. You have given me such hope that mmmmaaabe I can manage to follow your excellent directions. I am working on hearts and wondering if there is any trick that would be helpful for the center top of the heart. Have thought about sewing two heart together and then cutting from the back side of one so I can turn it before appliqueing. What do you think?

Tippy

I think that any design with severe angles is tough. I often try 2 or 3 different ways with different "patterns" and see what I think works out best and what I think will hold up the best.. my recommendation would be to make a heart with the turning method.. used dryer sheets work really well for the back side.. just be sure to "use them up" as any retained fabric softener can leave a greasy spot on the hearts. Also the fabric softener sheets are lighter weight so work nicely.
Looking forward to knowing what you decided to try.

Tippy! Great Tutorial! I am working on a scrappy turkey that is applique. Your methods are great! I added my seam allowance to my templates, tho. I don't have a quarter inch ruler, so just added my seam allowances. I have not had alot of success with the gathering of circles. I just pinbasted my pieces onto the foundation cloth. Thanks for your tute, I am going to bookmark it. Ronda aka Sassysewer53
