Basic Hand Applique Tips
Cut the background square bigger than the finished size and plan to square it up after all applique pieces are applied.
Before sewing, number the pieces in your design from background to foreground. Sew or fuse the pieces in this order
Needle Turn Applique
As the name suggests, you use your needle to turn under a 3/16" seam as you stitch along by hand. This is the traditional method used by generations of quilters. Enjoy working with the fabrics you've selected and your original patterns or those from books or magazines.
" Take a class from an expert and enjoy learning this wonderful method!
" Try using #10 or #11 Straw needles for extra length when sweeping the seam allowance under
Learn to do inside, outside curves, points and valleys. These shapes make up the designs you see in patterns and nature
Freezer Paper Applique
A good method for beginning Appliquérs!
1. Place Freezer Paper, shiny side down over your pattern and trace the pieces onto the dull side. (You may wish to use a light box, or hold the papers up to a window.)
2. Cut out traced pattern using the drawn lines.
3. Using a medium hot, dry iron, press the F.P. shiny side down onto the Wrong Side of your fabric. Space patterns out at least 1/2" apart when making multiple pieces from a fabric.
4. Cut fabric a scant 1/4" outside each F.P. pattern.
5. Remove F.P. pattern from the wrong side.
6. Place F.P. shiny side down under the cut out fabric. (fabric=right side up; F.P.=dull side up)
7. Fold raw edges of fabric over the edge of the F.P. and press with a dry iron. Tips:
o At inward curves, snip through the seam allowance, almost to the edge of the paper.
o On outward curves--Do Not Snip. If seam is too wide, bulky pleats will form, so trim seam to 3/16". Keep the folded edge smooth and let soft ripples form on the wrong side.
8. Place the pieces onto the background fabric in the correct location beginning with the #1 piece that is closest to the background.
9. Press the piece in place with a medium hot iron.
10. Sew piece in place by hand taking a small stitch through the very edge, or machine stitch with an invisible applique stitch.
11. Removing F.P: Cut a slit in the background fabric in the middle of the area behind the appliqued piece. Pull the background fabric away from the applique and carefully cut out the background fabric following a line approx. 1/4" inside your stitching line. Use your fingernail to push the fabric away and gently pull the F.P. away. You may need to use tweezers in some cases.
12. Go on to applique additional pieces. If your pattern includes pieces that overlap, you may find that as you cut out the background (step 11), parts of previously appliqued pieces may need to be trimmed away to reduce bulk.
Fabric Glue Pen Applique
This unlikely tool is making a hit with quilters. Buy a Sewline glue pen
Create your pattern using freezer paper. Cut roughly 1/4" around the sections. Decide which pieces go over others to create the finished design. Apply glue stick to the seam allowances, finger press and create the entire design before you begin stitching by hand. (slip stitch or invisible ladder stitch) Cut away the back to remove freezer paper.
Machine Applique
There are as many methods to try as quilt shops to visit! Here are a few you might like.
Eleanor Burns suggests using lightweight non-woven fusible interfacing! Cut the shape, i.e. leaf, from your fabric and from the interfacing, right sides together. The rough, bumpy side of the interfacing toward the right side of your fabric) Stitch around the leaf 1/4" from edge with a small stitch length (1.8). Trim seam to 1/8". Cut a small slit in the interfacing and turn the leaf out. Use a blunt pointed knitting needle or similar object to push the fabric out to the seam. Press with a wooden iron, or iron onto a non-stick applique sheet. Place onto the background fabric and press in place. Finish edge either with an invisible stitch and monofilament thread or using the blanket stitch with contrasting thread.

Create your pattern using freezer paper. Cut roughly 1/4" around the sections. Decide which pieces go over others to create the finished design. Apply glue stick to the seam allowances, finger press and create the entire design before you take it to your machine. Use monofilament thread and a zig-zag stitch to join the design to your background fabric. Additional embellishment with threads can be added during the quilting stage.
