The Big "A"

I'm so psyched! Finished my Tis The Season SAL and now can officially join the next round using Anni Down's Some Kind of Wonderful book.

This next project uses scrap piecing, embroidery, and APPLIQUÉ! I can machine appliqué and buttonhole, but have limited experience with actual hand appliqué.

So, my friends, any recommendations for an appliquéing newby? Any favorite appliqué authors? Blogs? YouTube videos? Tutorials? Any tips to share or "must knows"?

All help greatly appreciated!

Stitches!

  1. That book is on my list! I use fusible to applique, I don't have the patience or the nimble fingers to do any other kind.

  3. Hi... I do love the fabrics you have chosen... it will be so pretty... I have been learning needleturn this year and have some tips and links which I found and received from others... it is not exhaustive and I am still learnign so I will enjoy reading what you come with... I am also going to be watching the video mentioned already

    There is plenty of choices and I think the best tip is try several techniques and work out which you like best....
