Machine applique may sound intimidating to some, but once you get the hang of it, you'll wonder what you were ever worried about! I used to think that raw-edge fusible applique was all I would ever use. I still do use it for the appropriate projects, but sometimes I want a different look to my quilts. This technique gives me just the right look when I want my quilt to look more like needle-turn applique. The method I am showing here is basically this...
- Freezer paper on the back
- Glue stick to turn under the edges
- Machine stitch using a variable overlock stitch with monofilament thread
Each part of the tutorial is broken down into sections. If you are already familiar with part of the process, you can skip ahead to the next part. Clicking on a photo will bring up a larger view along with a caption explaining the process shown in that picture. The pattern I will be using is a Block of the Month pattern created by Sue Garman for members of www.thequiltshow.com.
