Beginner Applique Course

How To Sew Successful Applique

I have designed this beginner applique course to help you avoid the pitfalls that I made when I started and to make your first applique quilt experience a positive one, with a finished product to be proud of.

Doing applique for the first time can be a very frustrating and costly experience. Learn how to stop:

* your backing fabric from puckering around your applique

* having your applique come away from your quilt

* your applique distorting itself on the backing

* your applique from moving while you are sewing it on

* sewing your stitches off the edges of the applique

All the following information is invaluable when appliqueing and most I didn't know when I started. The results show in my first quilts. Simple things like using the best presser foot on your machine makes sewing curves and turning corners easy! My first applique quilt attempts were for dolls beds and this was a great size to begin with.
