I didn’t find it too hard – I hadn’t appliqued in years until about 12 months ago. Then I found a tutorial on the Sew Mama Sew website – which taught me about using the iron on adhesive that holds it in place while you are stitching – and now I love it! http://www.sewmamasew.com/2008/07/summer-sewing-simple-machine-applique/
I am glad! It is one of the blogs that I used a lot when I was starting out last year – and I have been accepted as a guest contributor for November, so am very excited to be able to give back!!
These are sooooo cute!!
Thanks Meredithe! I am enjoying the fine detail in a way the surprises me! Now I am thinking of other designs to apply in the same way.
I love this – so much detail. Is it hard to do? I haven’t done applique in a long time and I think i’ve forgotten how. 🙁
