How to Hand Applique points and Valleys or
How I Solved my problems and learned to love Hand Applique This may not be a new technique but being new to hand applique I found by trial and error that these steps work well for me. I hope others will find them helpful too. I was asked how I get good points on my work. This is my explanation after many attempts. 1. Gather supplies and cut out your shapes [ATTACH=CONFIG]554321[/ATTACH] 2. doing the points, fold point in at minimum 1/2" and dab with glue pen, hand press in place [ATTACH=CONFIG]554322[/ATTACH] 3. folding edges to create point [ATTACH=CONFIG]554323[/ATTACH] fold one side to center for placement, dab glue and trim extra fabric fold back into place, use a pin to manipulate into place. [ATTACH=CONFIG]554324[/ATTACH] repeat for other side [ATTACH=CONFIG]554325[/ATTACH] 4.Use the narrow brush to paint starch along edge of straight parts and slight curves. [ATTACH=CONFIG]554326[/ATTACH] fold edge in and press. Do this all the way around the piece [ATTACH=CONFIG]554327[/ATTACH] 5. Clip inside curve, dab with glue and finger press seam into glue, continue with the starching. [ATTACH=CONFIG]554329[/ATTACH] Ready to baste [ATTACH=CONFIG]554330[/ATTACH] Pin piece in place and sew baste with a large stitch. Sometimes the fabric will start to ripple. Check this often. If it happens remove some pins & smooth it out and continue sewing. [ATTACH=CONFIG]554331[/ATTACH] You are now ready to do the hand stitching. No pins!!! Hooray!!! Piece of cake!!! Hope this helps any one trying hand applique for the first time. peace to all |
