@BlessedDove Using silk thread for applique I use #11 straw needles. But you can use #10 or #11. If you are more comfortable with a shorter needle then use your quilting between in any size. thanks for watching!
Thank you. This is so helpful. I've been stuck on a project for quite some time because I couldn't figure out how to do this without glue or some other sticky product. I like this method a lot.
Can you please do a tutorial on those curlie wurlies, I always have a problem with points and going around a circle, then a sharp point going the opposite direction and fading off down to a point. At the point where there is a sharp turn, I usually take a stitch on the left side, one in the middle and one on the right side, but there is not very much material at that point - going down to the point it is ok, at the point if I cut off too much of the material, turning around that point not ok.
My new booklet on Hand Applique, explains in more detail how to do each step to create a heart applique. I address many of the questions I receive including information on needles, thread, etc. Tips and Hints are added throughout .
Thanks for this- I'm new to quilting and wondered how to sew on pictures. Your advice is really helpful. Can't wait to go get my supplies and start! :)
Just a comment from a new beginner of Applique, and quilting in Denmark. Thank you very much for the fine video, I learned a lot about needleturn from you You explain thing so taht they can be understood, and foremost you show what you do with your work, which by the way are fantastic and beuatiful and yet simple work
Thanks again. And keep up doing some more fine videos for us who dont now much yet...
Am ready for my Applique Adventure... got all my scrap ready,pattern, notions and off i go to enjoy it. Got started quilting last Sept 09 and joined a quilting group Jan '10. Told the group I learn quilting thru YT.. someone asked where? You Tube... the new learning center. Thanks again for creating this video... so useful for us visual learners. Sure will post my project...
Thanks for your reply. Your technique is simple and easy to follow. Last nite, I started working on my first applique its a basket with stars and snowman on a 9x9 block... Wow I did it... loVE IT.. will practice to make my stitches neat. do you have a video on how to make bias steam? THANKS again my teacher.
I don't have a bias strip video, but of course I use bias strips often for my applique. Maybe I will make that the topic of my next video. Thanks and don't forget to post pics of your work.
thank you for sharing this video... I think I can do this. if I may asked. what or when will you used fusible web or the freezer paper in an applique? your reply would be applicated much. Thanks your a great teacher.
Hi-The only instance I used fusible web is in my Shadow Applique piece, see it on my website under Projects. Small pieces were used to hold the appliques in place. The fusible webs are impossible to hand quilt through and may leave behind chemicals on your fabrics forever. I don't like extra steps in my quilting work and prefer to keep my techniques simple , so I don't like to cut and iron freezer paper and then needle turn and remove paper..Ohh that just takes the fun out of applique! TY!
@nancyellenquilts You are absolutely right about not using the fusible webs. A friend of mine did it and after some years the fabric started to get "rusty" So it is better to be "old- fashioned" in that particular case
what size needle is best with the silk and cotton thread? thanks for sharing your talents, your work is beautiful and neat.
