    I have watched a number of appliqué videos and this was the best - it was clear and taught me how broad I can be in the appliqué process. Thank you so much!

    WOW - I have always had trouble with applique that I just don't do it. I just throw my hands up and say, "Forget it." I was half way through your video, hit pause, turned on my sewing machine, :) and I have that stitch !!! I did it. I did it. I did it. Now to calm down and watch the last half of your video.

    I really enjoyed this lesson and wish i could record these lessons for future use. You can use a used fabric softener sheet as a backing for your applique and you wont have to spend any additional money on soft backing. it works well.

      great way to recycle the used dryer sheets. And it will smell pleasantly at the same time.

    I found this video to be the very help I needed to understand applique. I usually use an iron on method that I then sew. This sewn applique gives more of a 3d look. I can't wait to try. Very clear instructions. Thank you.

    I will be teaching an applique class next month to beginners…I love applique; mostly fusible. While looking for articles to draw information from I found your video…I so enjoyed watching you do this turn applique method. I don’t do much of it but definitely you have inspired me to do a project. I am now a subscriber. Thank you.

    I just loved this technique. I didn't realize reducing the stitch could make such a difference. Also one of those stitches I have never used for applique, and it is a great alternative. Thanks again Susan, you are the best!

  • @jesshothersall
    @jesshothersall Před 10 lety +3

    This is brilliant, my machine is straight stitch only and this video helps as I now know how to get the shapes hemmed inside, I was thinking I would have to try and push the hems under as I went, the vilene method is so easy

    Thanks Susan, I like the use of Vilene as I have started a leaf applique design and the turning in the points of the small leaves has been a bit frustrating to get them 'perfect' Most helpful and well explained.

  • @kathleenmayhorne3183
    @kathleenmayhorne3183 Před 3 lety +1

    Thank-you. Beautifully done. I agree wholeheartedly on ending off as you go. The thought of hundreds of ends to run in on a multi-coloured crocheted rug, did it for me. I could never see me finishing all that afterwards. You have such diversity in your tasty treats, and the tips you show, that I have not heard of before can be game-changing, you are a prolific worker almost relentless at finishing things. Your 2020 achievements were mind boggling. So, so, well done.

  • @elizabethwhittaker-william6598

    Thanks for response. For some reason I hate to make plastic templates. Did it once years ago and never had use for them again. I really don't appliqué but think it's about time I do a project now and then. Am working on a Christmas tablerunner and used the stitch wichery fusible. However, wanted to see what alternatives they were without all that turning under and time consuming methods, but found you and am encouraged to use your method instead of fusing. thank you again.

  • @GourmetQuilter
    @GourmetQuilter  Před 11 lety +5

  • @pegasusquilts
    @pegasusquilts Před 2 lety

    I like to do a stitching sample on a scrap to be sure I know exactly where my presser foot should go along the edge of the applique, and try out different stitch lengths and widths to select the one I prefer. This is especially valuable with a machine which has blind hem stitch but not buttonhole stitch.. it's also a good time to test what thread color looks best.
    The US generic term for your interfacing is ",non-woven sew-in" or "non-woven non- fusible".
    Excellent video, perfectly paced. I have used this technique in the past but you have given me two new tips: using extra fine thread and your tie-off method.

  • @GourmetQuilter
    @GourmetQuilter  Před 11 lety +1

    Sounds good, assuming you have the fabric softener sheets! I don't use them myself, but I can see they would work well.
