WOW! This by far THE BEST video I have seen for appliqué. The quality is just outstanding! You did such a great job and all your hard work you put into this is not wasted on me. My doctor suggested hand crafts for me because of my blood pressure. So I’ve learned to knit, embroider, and crochet. I knitted so much stuff and nobody wants it! So now I’ve moved on to appliqué and quilting for a new horizon. I’m a new hard core fan of your work. Thank you so much!

This tutorial is just amazing! I think using some quick basting stitches could be a good alternative for the big pins in the middle. Your thread doesn't get caught and you can't accidentally prick yourself no matter how you hold/turn your work.

Super helpful guide for a beginner, thank you so much. Hopefully one day I'll be as fast and neat as you. To be fair I'm still getting used to wearing a thimble which feels like a huge hurdle by itself.

@stuartmoorestextiles 2 жыл бұрын

So happy to hear it! Stick with it, it all becomes second nature. When I started I felt the same about the thimble and my stitches were larger than I was aiming for but over time and without my even noticing, it all got much easier. Happy stitching! :)

Consider using a finger pincushion. It's like a wrist pincushion but in miniture. The way you hold your fabric whilst stitching, it would be perfect on your left thumb. 💖🌞🌵😷

When pins get in the way, use craft glue. The stuff in a tube that kids use. I use a few swipes on the back of the main body of the piece to be appliqued, press it into place and then add the rest of the pieces. This makes the entire piece completely portable. You can also iron the pieces and still be able to move them again if need be.

Your video was really helpful with the curves. I want to add applique to a denim jacket. Do you think this type of applique would hold up well? Also, I was considering adding batting behind my applique to add some dimension. Is this possible? Haven't seen any videos talk about it.

@flootify 8 ай бұрын

thank you so much for this wonderful tutorial. you're a great teacher! what type of fabric would you recommend for applique? i have lots of linen, but it doesn't seem like this would be suitable.

@stuartmoorestextiles 8 ай бұрын

It depends on what kind of linen it is (weight wise). I use 4.7oz and it is a dream. As long as the linen is ironed before applique, it should be good. Cotton works wonderfully as well. Synthetics might be harder.

@hillaryfelker5583 Жыл бұрын

Thank you for the helpful tutorial. Your instructions are clear and encouraging. I am wondering if an applique baby quilt is any more or less sturdy, so to speak, than a machine pieced and machine quilted quilt. Do the applique stitches tend to come out?

@stuartmoorestextiles Жыл бұрын

My hand stitched needle turned applique blankets I made for my son when he was a baby have been washed many times and are still holding up perfectly but I did stitched them with extra stitches because I knew they would be washed more often. If you are making a blanket for all day everyday use with a baby, I would consider a standard patchwork quilt if you are worried about it holding up for multiple washes a week. But if you are worried generally about applique stitches coming out, mine have not ever so don't be afraid! Hope that helps! ☺️

@nicoleansbacher8882 Жыл бұрын

At the corner and any spots where you say to snip right up to the fabric, how do you make sure these spots won’t fray when washed? Do you add a dab of seam glue?

@stuartmoorestextiles Жыл бұрын

When you snip up to the line on inverted corners you always put a double stitch in that spot to keep fraying at bay. For corners, even though you are cutting up to the line, you are still tucking the drawn line under your work so there is fabric under your stitching, just not too much to stop bunching. I believe you can add seam glue, just test it first because I know some I have used in the past was visible after drying. Delicate applique handwork should be hand washed but if you need to create something that is going to be washed constantly (like a baby blanket), machine sewing might be better. That being said, I regularly sew appliqued shapes in simple shapes like squares onto my clothing and keep a little extra fabric behind my tucked shapes and they have stayed fray free for 30+ washes. Hope that helps! ☺️

Is it common for people to just draw directly on a piece of fabric instead of tracing? Thank you so much for the wonderful tutorial.

@stuartmoorestextiles Жыл бұрын

You can absolutely draw free hand! I would say people use stencils mostly to get the perfect shape and to easily repeat the shapes. Happy stitching! ☺️
