Cheating Needle Turn Applique method

In this video tutorial I show you step-by-step how to create your own applique motif using a simulated needle turn applique technique, that is sooo much simpler and way less time consuming than traditional needle turn applique. So, I call it the cheater's version of needle turn applique. It is very easy to do and a great beginner project. After you master this technique you will be able to create all kinds of designs, and images as applique patches for all kinds of craft projects.

@Jadelets89 Technically you could but I don't like to waste fabric like that. You could use dryer sheets too its similar in consistency to the interfacing. Have fun!
