This is such a great tutorial. The section where you show how different techniques look on the same applique was so helpful. Seeing how thread choice and stitches look was super helpful. I learned so much more in this 35 minute video than in some much longer videos. I agree with everyone else that has commented, you are a great teacher and the close ups were excellent. Thank you.

A trick to make your turning easier in the inside point of the tail would be to make 1 stitch across before heading out of the tight point. It makes turning easier and lays nice and flat. I learned this in making scallop edges on quilts. I love this method

I love, love, love this product! I have made a lot of turned edge applique quilts using Whisperlite and it makes the whole process so easy. I've managed to even make a few appliques that have a layer of fluffy batting in them; however, I had NO sharp corners like triangles or narrow sections in my applique pieces when using batting (simple circles to make balloons, flowers with large petals and the like). I can imagine that any pattern with tighter shapes and using batting in them to make them puffy would be impossible to turn. I suppose one could use the opening to stuff bits of puffy polyester batting and then hand stitch that opening closed, but I can imagine that it would be difficult if not impossible to get it down narrow passages.
