Tip of the Week

Tip #1: Special Applique Supplies - Keep Those Pins Short

If you prefer to pin baste your applique pieces, be sure to get some fine, short pins. Using regular sewing pins will lead to the frustration of having your thread get caught up in the pins. The fine pins will also leave holes that are much less noticeable.

Tip #2: Hand Applique - Applique Stitches

Practice keeping your stitches as small as possible. Your goal is to have no stitches visible from the front side of your project. Give your thread a slight tug from the underneath side and the fabric should "roll" over cover the stitch just completed.


Tip #3: Machine Applique - Make a Test Sample

Before beginning a machine applique session, set up your machine with the thread you plan to use. Cut some scraps of your fabrics and use them to test the tension on your machine before you sew on your actual quilt pieces.
