This is the clearest and most thorough tutorial on back basting I've seen on YT--thank you! I've got my pattern outlined on my fabric and will try it this morning!

I have had a terrible time trying to learn this and your video was excellent, thank you! Your demonstration and review are first rate!

Just discovered your wonderful video. Excellent job of showing exactly how it's done. Thank you

I do needle turn applique but I struggle with the very thin pieces. Watching your video has shown me that I can do them using back basting technique. Yours is one of the best and clearest /well explained videos of this yet. Thanks 💃

Wow! I can do this! Your instructions are clear and very easy to understand. Thank you for the recap at the end. I can’t wait to start practicing.

Thank you for a very helpful tutorial. This technique was mentioned to me and I am so glad that I found out more about it ❤️

I am a total new comer to this needle turn. thank you for making this video !

Wow! I admire your patience! This technique would take me FOREVER to finish, but I certainly admire your work!

Amazing work! Thank you, this was the only tutorial I could find!!!!!

I've never seen this applique technique before. Thank you for this educational video, especially the details on which thread and needles you use (and the advice to do some practicing!) :-) ~Diana from Toronto

It was fascinating to see this technique being demonstrated so clearly, I loved watching it, but I don’t know if I’d have the patience to do it myself, but I admire anyone who does.

I like that your instructions were so clear. I will give this a try. Thank you.

You can scan the image and reverse flip it on the computer, then applique as normal. I did learn things watching this tutorial, thank you.

Thank you for this tutorial. Absolutely clear explanation and demonstration. Most excellent. Wonderful stitch instruction videos also. A wealth of information at American Quilting.

Very clear instructions with beautiful results! TFS ❤️

Been wanting to learn this technique. Thanks for your video. I've found these small applique scissors...they have a "duck bill" on one blade and are perfect for cutting around applique piece so you don't cut into the background.

this is a new technique for me. Great instructions. Bravo for recording this video by your self.

Loved the video! A neat way to appliqué!

Thanks! Don't know if I will ever try to do this, but it's very interesting to see how it is done!

Thank you for the information. You did an excellent job of explaining the process. I will try this method.

thank you! A great demonstration of back basting applique. I think I can try it now! :-)

Excellent tutorial. Thank you. Extremely helpful and pleasant to listen to.

Very clear, easy to follow instructions. Thank You

really helpful video. thanks :)

Thanks a lot!!!

Thank you for sharing, I love it. This seems familiar to me, is it possible that this method of applique, "back-basting" is the same thing as what used to be called "cutwork" applique in the olden days?

This is a very clear video of this technique. However, this is a very tedious technique. I think I will continue with water soluble interfacing, trace the piece, stitch interfacing to fabric, trim, slice interfacing, and turn. Then stitch down to base fabric. When I wash the piece, interfacing will disappear. Much faster, just as neat, and no stitches to rip out.

Thank you so much for your video. I will be referring to again and again as I start my first project. I saw a woman at a retreat recently doing her appliqué like this and I was intrigued. She showed me what she was doing (very similar to what you are doing) and I thought I definitely want to try that. Unfortunately, she lives a few states away. Your video has given me the confidence to try this on my own. ~ Carol S.

Great video by Jeana Kimball the creator of this appliqué method

I would love to have the pattern that you are working on. Doris

what are the benefits of doing applique this way?

I want to see a amish quilt

What did you use to draw the pattern on the back?

Back basting seems like a step thats not needed for needle turn applique...don't see the purpose of it ?!? One pin in the center of the leaf will hold it in place; so you can needle turn. Plus tracing pattern directly on the fabric-you use the trace line to needle turn stitch.

why is the category listed as "comedy" ??

oh my goodness i can do that whole quilt in the time it takes her to do one leaf. this can really put you off doing needle turn appliqué. Why would anyone want to do this technique?

I am not blaming you, at all....but who ever thought about creating this convoluted difficult way for turn under applique needs their head checked. Create your appliques pieces, place where you want them, Add a dab or two of washable school glue, let dry and then turn under the sides. Watching this method, hurt my brain!
