Welcome back to our celebration of Sewing Month 2016!
We hope you’ve been having fun with our weekly inspiration and giveaways. There are so many video gems in our FQS vault (also known as our YouTube Channel) that we’re sharing some more inspirational how-to’s based on a theme. This week? Applique! We’ve also got a fantastic giveaway, and two people will each win a prize package valued at over $80, which includes the thread-y goodness show below – yum!
AWESOME APPLIQUE!
We know, we know – some quilters consider applique the “A word”. Here at Fat Quarter Shop we think applique gets a bad rap, so we’ve gathered some FQS videos that will help you develop new applique skills or further develop those you may already have. Take a peek!
See, that wasn’t so bad! Applique – by machine or by hand – can be painless and fun, and results in gorgeous quilts and other stitch-y projects!
GIVEAWAY #4!
This week we’re giving away two Awesome Applique Prize Packs! Each lucky winner will receive a Fat Quarter Shop Tin Set, ten spools of Aurifil 80 wt Applique Thread, a package of 16 Straw Needles, Poke-A-Dots Sticky Thimbles, and one Charm Pack of Bella Solids containing assorted colors. Each Prize Pack (shown in the tray above) is valued at over $80!
To enter: Leave a comment on this blog post sharing whether you currently use applique in your quilting and sewing, or if you have yet to take on this sewing technique. Giveaway ends on 9/26/16 at 8 AM CST. The two winners will be chosen at random and announced in an update on this post by 9/28/16, and will be emailed about their prizes. Good luck and Happy Quilting!
Update: Giveaway is closed! Congratulations to GranChris and Jinger! Both winners have been contacted.

Hi. I use a lot of applique in my quilts. Most by hand,but sometimes by mashine. Needleturne are my number one favorite 🙂
I have never tried it, but it is beautiful!

I haven't tried applique yet. But plan to try soon.

I tried machine applique and didn't really enjoy it. But I love hand stitching of all kinds and do enjoy hand applique. I must admit that I haven't tried very challenging patterns so far but have improved on the easy shapes with practice. Thanks for the chance to win!
I have tried it in sampler blocks and would love to be more comfortable with it… Guess I need to practice practice practice and thanks for the videos with tips.
I have yet to try out applique, but I have purchased all the supplies for a rose and it is on my list to begin soon:)
I am still very new at Applique,and can't wait to keep getting better at it. Love the thread colors out this Fall! Would love chance to win-thanks for sharing with us.
I applique animal shapes to the front of my kids t-shirts and sew around the edge with my machine. I've not used it for a quilt.
I love adding names with my machine using embroidery and appliqué to baby quilts!
I have done needle turned applique in my quilts and recently completed an appliqued quilt using wool.
Yes I do use applique but not this technique. I ussually fold my fabrics around a template, baste and iron for crisp edges. After having taken out the basting stitches, I pin the piece to the background and top stitch. No raw edges =)
I have done some applique to embellish the bags that I make, but I'm definitely not a pro (yet) so with this giveaway I can start my applique journey.
I do wool applique,want to learn how to do the needle turn applique.

I've done applique on a few small home decor projects but nothing big.

I have not ventured into appliqué much, but there's a project on my to-do list that's almost all appliquéd… Time to brush up on my skills!

I have flirted with appliqué in the past but have yet to combine it with my quilting, I would love to start though!
I have used appliqué in both quilting and sewing. I love adding special touches like names or fun designs to my quilts for a little extra personalization.
The one place I haven't ventured. A friend does it all the time. Its on my bucket list.

Yes, I do love hand appliqué and am currently working on the Cozy Christmaa quilt. It's been really fun!:)
I have only just discovered the world of applique and I am totally hooked. I have tried both machine and hand and find both calming, mesmerising and can have a huge impact on my projects. I am currently watching your videos on techniques and tutorials as I need to learn as much as I can. Happy sewing, quilting and appliquing everyone ????
Love appliqué. Love mixing it in with piecing.

I have done machine appliqué but never hand appliqué.
I love using applique on my daughter's t-shirts & quilts!!! Awesome giveaway!
I haven't tried yet but I have a pattern waiting for me, I just have to get up the nerve to dig in!! The video will be super helpful
I do quilt but applique is fairly new to me, so thank you for this great post. Now I cannot wait to get started, and wouldn't it be wonderful to get started with this stunning price?! 🙂
I am a beginning quilter and have not yet tried appliqué.
I just finished my first applique quilt, Bloom and am currently working on two applique quilts.
Haven't done much applique but hoping to do more.
So fun! I'm dying to incorporate appliqué into my quilting!!
I have machine appliqued with various methods – but this year I am hoping to tackle hand applique! Thanks for the chance and thank you for your list of applique videos!
I love appliqué and really want to learn how to do it but sadly I have only bought books to learn how. I did fusible on one project.
I currently have not tried applique. I've been wanting to try it out on my current quilt project.
I have done both hand and machine appliqué, but I have so much to learn. Thanks for the videos and for the chance to win.i would love to experiment and practice with the goodies in this giveaway.
I have not done any applique as of yet, but I am looking forward to learning.
I have done both needle turned applique and applique using iron on pieces. I prefer piecing to applique, but it is all good
I use applique occasionally, if the pattern calls for it as embellishment, but I have only made one mini quilt that was entirely applique. I prefer to use a sewing machine as opposed to hand stitching, I am too much a perfectionist!
I have just recently hand appliqued my first piece and I am hooked! I would love to try machine applique next. Your videos make it look possible. Thank You for sharing your techniques.
Yes, I've done both machine and hand applique and love the added dimension it gives the quilt.
I have used appliqué in both quilting and sewing for my grand daughter. I am planning to take a class to improve my technique.
I have just restarted doing some quilting again and have yet to try applique . . . but would love to add it to my growing skill set!!
I currently just finished an appliqué project with Lori Holt the bloom along ????
I love appliqué! I have learned several different methods and actually can"t pic my favorite. Currently loving the cozy Christmas sew along.
I have just really started to applique, I thought I would never like to do that but is is fun.

I have done some applique, both hand and machine, but I need lots more practice!
I have yet to give it a try. It is on my to do list, as soon as I figure out how to get my old Singer to cooperate. Thank you for the wonderful giveaway!
I'm doing a applique by Jacquelynee Steve's for a quilt.
I've done a little, but plan to appliqué some large flowers on the quilt back that I am doing now. I think it will be a cool surprise on the back!
I've done both machine applique on several wall quilts. Thanks for the chance to win.
I do some applique in my quilting
I've admired applique, especially having lived in Hawaii and getting to see the lovely local applique technique, but I still haven't tried it myself yet. Plus, my Juki is a straight-stitch only kind of gal, so maybe if I get the HZL for Chrismabirthaversary, I will give it a whirl!
I love appliqué and have completed several projects including quilts. I especially like using applique in baby and children's clothing. In fact, at my daughter's baby shower guests completed appliqué onesies and hung them on a clothesline after completing them. The guests loved it and what fun onesies to dress baby in later. I can't wait to try Aurifil appliqué thread!
I am one on those quilters who has not tried applique yet. Hopefully the videos will take away the fear. I love paper piecing but also really like how applique looks. So will definitely have to give it a try.
Haven't done any appliqué yet…watching all of the tutorials! Can't wait to give it a try!

I use applique in my quilting. So far it has just been to put the name of the expected baby on the quilt backing, just to personalise it a little. Usually it is well received!
I don't use applique but would love to learn how to do it. barbjolly@sbcglobal.net
I do appliqué in my quilting and enjoy doing so.
I use very little appliqué, but I do love the look of pieced quilts with some appliqué!
I have done some raw edge fusible appliqué on a few memory quilts…haven't tried any by hand yet.
I don't applique often. But I have enjoyed the few quilts I have used the technique.
I have not yet done applique, but have a quilt pattern that I need to do that does have it. I will be trying this technique very soon.
I love appliqué! I'm working on my Lori Holt Bloom blocks right now. I've also made Amy Bradley's Happy Halloween quilt which is hanging in my livingroom right now.
I don't applique often. But I have enjoyed the few quilts I have used the technique.
When I was first teaching myself to quilt I made an appliqued wallhanging, using machine applique. It is far from perfect, but I'm pretty proud of it nonetheless! ???? Now, with all your lovely tutorials my work has a much more polished look.
I have attempted appliqué but after watching your videos I know my next attempt will be successful!
I have done some appliqué. Most have been fusible but I've also turned the edges and secured with machine stitching. I haven't done needle turn on any large projects.
I haven't tried applique yet, but I have decided this is the year to give it a shot! I'm going to work on charm sized orange peels. I absolutely love your shop and tutorials! Thank you for this fantastic giveaway!
I applique some when it's the only way to get the look I want. I definitely need more practice though!
I am so excited for Aurifil 80 wt! Has anybody tried it with Hexies?
I don't use applique however, the secretary at our school is a master and has said she would help me learn! Yeah!
I do applique. I've tried every technique out there and have finally settled on the best for me — Back Basted applique. No more prepping freezer paper for me.
I was always scare to do it however I am now doing Bloom Quilt from Lori and I am loving it.
I have done a very small amount of appliqué but would love to do more. I see so many appliqué quilts that I love so I need to try a small project to gain some skills.
I am just beginning to learn hand appliqué and am finding it to be relaxing!
I do not currently use appliqué
I like to do raw edge applique but don't have anything in the works at the moment.
I have not used it yet but would love to have it on my table runners.
I do applique! I have with machine and by hand!
I admit I will use it if I have to. The splendid sampler has forced me out of my comfort zone and proving more sucessful than i thought possible with appliqué. Fusible is my go to first choice
I do mostly machine applique, i love how it finishes of a quilt.
I only do machine appliqué….have yet to try doing it by hand as I don't think I have the patience!
I use appliqué in a lot of my quilts! I have taught needle turn appliqué with 2 different techniques. I am currently making the cozy Christmas quilt and using Lori Holts method, must admit I am not fond of this method! Love applique
I like the look of appliqué but I can't do it too well – I've tried needle turn (admittedly once lol) but no luck. I can do machine appliqué and I can do raw edge appliqué with a nice blanket stitch but turning under eludes me!
I've just started to really do applique with my quilts, but I'm absolutely loving it.
I use raw edge machine applique. I've tried turned edge, but not so great at that yet.
I have used appliqué in my quilting. Your videos with Jill have really helped me learn the process. Thank you for the great giveaway!
I am not good at appliqué but I keep trying because I think it is so pretty!
This has been my "uncharted territory". Viewing the tutorials makes it seem less daunting. Would definitely try, because some of the most beautiful projects involve this skill. Thanks for a chance to win!❤️️
I love hand appliqué in my quilts, I just don't do it often enough.
I took a couple classes, one from a local quilt store, one from Heidi Pride, ore and then I took off. Love it now.
Currently I've only been piecing quilts but I've made appliqué quilts.
What a special giveaway – thank you for the chance. I used to do a LOT of applique, till this feature on my old sewing machine couldn't be trusted on. Now on my new sewing machine and with Lori Holt's Cozy Christmas Sew Along – I'm rediscovering the fun it always was!
I haven't tried applique on quilts yet but have seen some beautiful projects with it and would love to try.
I have done just abit of applique on a few items, I love the effect and would like to do more. Thank you for this giveaway

Hi there. Awesome blog. I have done a few applique projects but still need more practice. Thanks for the chance to participate.
I've done some machine applique, but would love to learn needle turn.
I have used applique in the past. I currently do not have any projects in progress that contain it. That could change as soon as some of the quilts I'm working on getting finished, and I start new ones.
I haven't tried applique yet but I'd like to! I have a few months of the Canada mystery quilt (for next year's 150th anniversary) kits ahead of me. I just haven't had time to start them.
I love doing machine applique, as I don't find that I have the patience for hand applique. I also have recently learned about madeira applique which is a neat technique too. I do mainly fusible applique and love the look it creates. Thanks for hosting this giveaway!
I love applique. It gives your quilt your own personal touch. When making a baby quilt I like to applique the name on the top someplace in the corner or sometimes right in the center!
I have not tried hand appliqué yet, but with this package of tools and your great You-Tube videos, I would definitely give it a try!

I love to do appliqué. I'm
currently doing Lori Holt's Cozy Christmas sew along, and having a blast doing it!
I'm a little intimidated by applique… well, okay, a LOT intimidated. But it looks like a lot of fun!! I've got more time in on my embroidery machines (little guys compared to today's standards) but just brushed off my sewing machine and am having a blast!! Being a South Austinite, I LOVE coming to the Fat Quarter shop and drinking in all of the amazing fabrics!!!
Thanks for the giveaway opportunity!!
I have avoided appliqué but I would love to get over my fear!
Yes both hand and machine applique, i even have managed to get both my girls into it!
I use machine applique and machine embroidery. Tried it a few month ago and fell in love with it. I can draw a little so I usually make my own pattern. I save the cards from my charm pack. Thanks for the giveaway.
I don't usually applique…kind of intimidated by it I guess. But it's something I do want to try!
I have used machine applique in my quilting and am looking forward to learning hand applique some day!
I have used applique in the past, but found it difficult. So I don't usually include it in new things.
I have done some machine appliqué , but usually don't select patterns that require a lot of appliqué. Thanks for a chance to win!
I haven't tackled applique yet, but I can't imagine a better introduction to it than with this beautiful and generous bunch of goodies 😀
I do a little it of machine applique on small quilted projects like table runners. I enjoy it!
I have done appliqué on small projects like pillows but haven't tried on a quilt yet. Nice giveaway;)!
I love your video's. appliqué is my favorite, I use the starch method and sometimes both hand sewing and machine!
Love love love appliqués! My second quilt made was from 1940s newspaper patterns each with an arrangement of flower bouquets. My daughter researched the old papers for the patterns to use. Fun!
I have just recently started doing applique and I love it!!! I had trouble figuring out how to make it look right at the first but I think I now have the hang of it after using Joanna's technique from Fig Tree. The starch is awesome!!!! I also love the look of the blanket stitch when machine Appliquéd is my choice. You inspire me and I'm sure all of us to try new things and get out of our comfort zone, Kimberly, and I thank you for that!!!! Thanks for this awesome giveaway!! I would be honored!!!
I have used applique in the past and will be using it on the quilt I am currently making. I made the Happiness Quilt by Monica Poole, and that now lives on my bed. I am currently embroidering blocks for the Life is Beautiful quilt by Helen Stubbings. I absolutely love working with Aurifil thread too.
I appliqued my Dad's birdhouse quilt. I had to applique the openings (holes) to the birdhouses themselves. 🙂
I love the look of appliqué but have only done it once by machine. Would love to work on this skill!
I don't appliqué normally, but it's a fun technique for little holiday projects
I do use applique! First time was a king size quilt with all hand needle turned applique using the freezer paper method. Recently I've done a good bit of raw edge, machine applique with a blanket stitch. I also took a class with Edyta at the Lancaster quilt show. You can do some amazing things with applique. Thanks for the opportunity. I'd love to win!
I love hand applique. I'm working on a Dear Daughter quilt for my daughter's high school graduation.
I honestly am intimidated by applique, SO I have been afraid to try it. Until I just saw the videos you offered! I am going to tackle this fear. THANK YOU!

Excited to try a new technique .sign me up.
I'm just starting to A❣❣ Last night I finished a Hexie EPP Appliquéd to a background. Was wishing I could try the new Aurifil floss❣❣
I love hand appliqué. It's nice to have hand work to do while "watching" tv or anytime you have to wait around for an appointment. I find machine appliqué more daunting and less forgiving and whenever possible, I substitute hand appliqué.
I love doing applique. I have done 4 quilts this year with applique. Some machine and some by hand.
Love the look of hand applique! I'm working on the Cozy Christmas sew along.

I am just learning to do appliqué and this prize would be so fun to win. I am looking forward to Road to California 2017, I am taking two appliqué classes, one with Kathy Mc Neil and the other with Carrie Fondi. These supplies would be put to good use. Thank you for the chance to play. Candice Harris, So Cal.
I am taking on my first English Paper Pieced quilt with some applique in it. I was shocked to realize how much I enjoyed the slower process when quilting, as I'm not really known for my patience! I've gotten to where I applique any time I can, so to jump to EPP next just seemed logical!

I have yet to try appliqué, but I'm in a block of the month club and we have some appliqué blocks coming up!! I'm excited and apprehensive about it, but these videos will sure help!
I did some applique six months ago at a class given by a friend, with MUCH hesitation. Now, I just can't get enough of it!!!
Love appliqué both and and machine. My very first quilt was machine appliquéd. No one told me it was difficult, so I just did it!
I tried applique for the first time this year and completed three quilts with applique. Love it!
I enjoy hand and machine appliqué. I like to keep up to date with your blog. Great giveaway. My name is Jeanne.

I love seeing appliqué, but I'm still a newbie to it despite having quilted about 30 years!

Christine from Ontario
I love appliqué and I use it on my quilts a lot! I have trouble finding 80wt. thread near me so I would love to win an asserted box of it!!!!
I am brand new at applique sewing ~ I took a class from a friend of mine and have fallen in LOVE. Thank you so much for a chance to win some more goodies to add to my growing obsession! <3

I do applique by machine, and would love to try the 80 wt Aurifil!

I do lots of hand, needle turn applique and love it. Would really like to win one of the giveaway.

Yes I do applique but not a whole lot. I did the Lori Holt Bloom quilt with applique. Thank you for a chance to win this awesome prize!!!
Appliqué has long been one of my favourite techniques. I have been sewing bags recently but have a few applique projects in mind. Always looking to get better!

I do appliqué, hand and machine. I love the videos

Hey there, I am completely new to quilting and have still yet to figure out all the equipment I'm going to need. I have a beginners quilting course this coming weekend, I want to be able to make a memorial quilt from my younger brothers t-shirts (he passed away a few years back from cancer) this would be a fabulous start to my quilting life 🙂 good luck everyone x
I do a lot of fusible applique, only handstitched though, haven't managed to be able to use my sewing machine for that.
Nope, I haven't tried it yet, but after watching your YouTube channel with Lori Holt the other day about it, (with the Sew in interfacing), I have been really eager to try.
Yes, I enjoy using applique in my quilts, but generally complete the pieces with my machine. I'm anxious to become a better hand appliquer, if that's a word. Thank you for the visual instructions.
I have three applique projects in the works, One using traditional needleturn, one Broderie Perse, and the other using fusible. I'm trying out different techniques and trying to find my niche.
So far I have mostly done machine appliqué. It really does add someone special to quilts. Someday when my kids are older maybe I will have time for more hand appliqué.
I got an embroidery machine and did my first appliqué in the hoop, and loved it! I think I am hooked!…..:)
I have wanted to try appliqué for over a year now…..but I haven't taken the plunge yet! Thanks for the videos!
I have used fusible applique on mug rugs.

I'm not someone that is drawn to applique but I am looking for portable projects when a sewing machine is not convenient to use. I would like to expand my quilting to include it, for sure.
I love applique and almost always have a project going.
I have finished two holiday table runners…but do not applique in my quilts…
I love appliqué. I always have an appliqué project going. I also would love to try the new Aurofil 80 weight to appliqué. I use Aurofil to appliqué now but not the really thin stuff they have offered us. Thank you for the chance to win!

No, I do not currently use appliqué, but want to give it a try. Planning to look at your videos.
Yes, I have a couple of quilts that I have needle turned applique pieces on. One was a copy of a quilt Mama Bear did on The Berenstain Bears and the other is a Christmas quilt derived from Jan Patak designs.

I have not tried appliqué yet, but I would love to add it to my skill set. Thanks!
Not yet bit I hope to one day!
I love applique in machine embroidery, but haven't done any for quilts. I am relatively new at quilting and hope to try applique on quilt blocks.
I have only been "taught" how to do appliqué by machine but have never attempted it in a project.
I love doing appliqué by hand. Learning to do it by machine will be my next challenge.
The video is great and encourages me to give this technique a try.
thank you for the give aways and for the videos. I look forward to them.
I do use applique in quilting! I love trying the different techniques but find I love needleturn. I do fusible, machine, and hand…depends on the project. Love learning how others do it and try their ways to see how I can improve mine.
Just got a new Bernina with Buttonhole stitch (yes my old machine was 30 years old) and have fallen in love with Applique
I have done some appliqué, but not a lot. Thanks!
Yes to all types of appliqué – fusible, machine or needleturn. They are all good in my book.

I've done some applique but need to practice more! Thanks for the chance!

I have tried needleturn and fusible machine applique. I love the look of needleturn, but not so much the time it takes.
I'm just getting ready to tackle my first appliqué quilt. I picked Prairie Peony from Laundry Basket Quilts. Feeling a little overwhelmed just looking at the pattern! Thanks for the videos, they are helping me muster up the courage to start!
Currently working on an Edita star spring bouquet pattern love it

I made a few appliqué blocks in the past (but never finished the quilt). I will admit it's not my favorite thing to do. Someday I'll give it another go.
Applique junkie right here!! ????
I just watched your machine appliqué video as I am currently following along with the Cozy Christmas sew a long. It was very helpful and I am going to try using monofilament thread. Such a great idea! Thanks for the chance to win a great prize!
I machine applique all the time, but have yet to conquer hand applique. Although I do love hand binding. ????
Thanks for the chance at this giveaway. I like to add appliqué to all my quilts..machine appliqué is my first choice.
I have only done applique once or twice but I see so many projects using this technique. I would love to win and start doing it more!
I haven't tried it yet but it is so beautiful , can't wait to give it a try.
I have not used appliqué yet. I have only been sewing for a year and appliqué scares me! I will give it a try!
I would love to try appplique quilting. I have been too scared to try, up to now!
I have used some appliqué in my quilts, but not much. I love to machine sew them on using decorative stitches. I have yet to try the freezer paper method.
Love doing applique in my babies quilts. Thanks for the opportunity to participate!
Maria
I have never used appliqué!! I would love to give it a try! Fingers crossed!!
I don't like hand sewing but I really want to learn to machine applique. I just have to practice and practice some more.
I mostly do machine applique, but I also do some needle turn applique.
I don't enjoy appliqué but I love quilts that have appliquéd elements. Usually I will get to the appliqué portion and set the quilt aside, where it sits unfinished for ages (decades?). I'm going to watch the videos now!
I would love to appliqué more but I am inexperienced. This
Kit and videos would certainly help improve my skills. Thanks
Kimberly for the best tutorials on the web!
I am a beginner quilter so I haven't tried applique in my quilts, yet!
I have not done a lot of appliqué, but I would do machine appliqué.
I appliqués early in my quilt making journey, but haven't in recent years. It's a relaxing and rewarding technique.
I'm fairly new to quilting and have not tried appliqué yet, but I would love to combine appliqué to my quilting projects. I would also like to teach my 13 yr. old some new stuff to go with her 4-H projects.
I sure do and I love, love, love it!
I kind of stick to fusible appliqué, but would love to dive into turned and hand stitched – if I could just find the perfect beginner project.
I have done very little applique but want to try more and "perfect" my technique.
I have watched many videos on applique, but have yet to actually try it.
I have yet to take on this sewing technique.
I would love to win this! I haven't tried applique yet but am anxious to try itQ
I'll have to say that I don't gravitate to applique projects. I'm not sure why since I enjoy the handwork. Thanks for having this giveaway.

I have done alittle fusible appliqué. I would love to learn more and this is an amazing prize.
Have done very limited amount of machine appliqué. I would love to start doing hand appliqué after watching your wonderful tutorials.
I have 2 appliqué projects working right now. They are both coasters with snowmen appliqued on them.
I have tried appliqué using the fusible and the interfacing method. Would like to incorporate more appliqué in future projects.
I don't use appliqué now, but I love the look and will one day try a small project for starters.
I love applique. I wish I made time to do it more often.
I used to applique all the time when the kids were young, now I use it sparingly as accents on some of my quilts.
I do quite a bit of hand applique. Enjoy sittin in my favorite chair, with my dog in my lap, and multitask by listening to an audio book.
I LOVE doing appliqué!! I have made a few of Edyta's beautiful appliqué patterns!! Would love to win this!
I just started doing a some applique. I'm working on the Spooky Delights table runner right now!
I love applique – both hand and machine using fusible web. I also enjoy hand applique with felted wool. Thanks for the wonderful tutorials and great giveaway!
I do applique by hand and machine. Nothing currently that I am working on, though.
I am working on the Lemon Pie table runner. Such a coincidence that I am ready to hand applique the circles! Love applique when you have the proper tools and a great project!
I like to do fusible hand stitched applique. I'm not good at machine applique….need lots more practice!
I use applique in other craft projects, and I sew want to try out applique on a quilt. I have one planned!
I generally prefer piecing to applique, but have done a wool applique quilt. It is a technique I wold like to keep practicing, as I see many quilts where the applique adds the perfect finishing touch.
I love all types of applique, just a little bit on any quilt can add a WOW effect and make the quilt extra special.
I have watched videos and would love to begin developing appliqué skills.
I;ve never done applique but would love to learn!
i use fusible applique and like to outline stitch with a straight stitch and black thread.
I love to do machine applique! Thank you for sharing your videos and the opportunity to win this great prize! Have a fantastic creative day!
I haven't used much applique in my sewing yet – I have never really been happy with the results.
I am a relatively new quilter. I haven't done any applique yet. I believe when I do applique it will be where you turn the edge under and sew it on by hand. Thanks for the nice giveaway!
No, I have not yet tried using applique. I am still very new to quilting and am still a little intimidated by it! I think once my skill level increases, I will start using this technique.
I'm prwtty good at machine applique, working on my habd applique skills. I still need more practice!
I have just recently starting using applique and I'm liking it. I'm not sure if I'll put in every project but it's fun for a change.
I'm prwtty good at machine applique, working on my habd applique skills. I still need more practice!
I have been doing applique lately. The Cozy Christmas Sew Along and Hexies. Lots of fun.
I have been doing a lot of appliqué in the last few months, both by hand and machine. For years I was terrified of messing up and finally took a workshop about three years ago. I surprised myself by getting a perfect result, and loved it immediately!
I have done applique in the past but not correctly. I keep wanting to try some modern applique.
I have been doing a little appliqué and have found that I like the freezer paper method. Then I use my sewing machine to sew the pieces in place.
Yes, I do applique in my quilting, and I am still learning………
I love applique and have been using them on my little 6×7 charm quilts. Putting a cute little animal applique on the front of the stroller/carseat quilt makes it so much fun!
Occasionally I use it to embellish the clothing I make my girls.
Hand applique technique. It's very relaxing. Also do machine appique.
I've done a bit of basic machine applique (zigzag stitch) but I haven't tackled any handwork. I think it would be fun to try!
I do love to applique, mostly by machine just for speed and accuracy. I am currently participating in a BOM in which I am using the fusible web technique. I have another project involving hand applique that is taking much longer but it is relaxing to sew while watching tv.
I applique both on quilts and wool! I'm a novice, need to do practice and video watching to improve my skills.
I do use applique, but not a lot. I have done both machine and hand applique, but I'm more likely to use machine applique because it's so much faster. I need to get better at hand applique before incorporating a lot of it in a quilt. Thanks for the videos!
Hand applique is something I don't do very frequently. I think the sewing machine is more practical for quilts that are going to be loved to death by the kids I make them for…..to practical for my own good!!
I LOVE applique. It's what I learned 1st. I'm currently working on an applique princess quilt for my granddaughter's 2nd birthday in January. Would love this sweet prize package!
I do applique by machine and hand. There are some projects that I want done very quickly, so it goes to the machine, but there is something quite relaxing to my soul when I do it by hand. I know sewing for some people in any way stresses them out
but for me its my "me time" and I feel centered when done.
I do both machine and hand applique, but I truly love hand applique the best. For many years, I did consider applique the "A" word, and was scared to death to even try. I use the freezer paper method and have great success with that process and I also use the back-basting method. I must tell everyone that I purchased the Aurifil Trendsetter set of 80 wt. applique thread from Fat Quarter Shop, and it is THE BEST! You will love it and it does not twist and tangle! Sure hope to win this package! 🙂

I have yet to try applique, I'm still a basic beginner..
I'm just getting started on applique and can use all the tips that you give on your blog and YouTubeChannel! Thanks so much for all your great videos.
I'm still new to quilting so I haven't appliqued anything yet!! 🙂
I love applique and have done all methods. My favorite method is needle turn and my least is machine applique. Love applique.
I sew a lot of machine appliqué! I'd love to learn how to hand appliqué and have a quilt pattern I've been saving to work on when I do.
I learned hand applique when I was a child but I haven't used it much since.
It has been a while, but I have been known to use applique in my quilts. I do remember enjoying the feeling I had when I finished my work. It was very relaxing and fulfilling. I think I might try to get back into it.
Yes, I love appliqué on my quilting and I love your blog!
I've tried it and loved it! Mostly on burp clothes. I haven't tried it on quilts but I'll get there!
I've done both machine and hand appliqué. Like them equally. Recently saw a demo on Appliquick…looking forward to trying that technique for appliqué.
Thanks to FatQuarterShop and Lori Holt, I am finally beginning to incorporate applique into my quilting! I love all of the versatility and flexibility applique provides, and I really love that there are so many new options and products to try different applique techniques now.
I have done machine applique and a little hand applique with interfacing sewn to the back. I have not tried the needle-turn technique yet.
I like to appliqué and just recentl completed Lori Holt's Bloom quilt for my littlest granddaughter. I prefer hand appliqué. What a neat prize for the drawing!
I have done hand appliqué in many quilts and wool projects. I have now experienced the joy of machine appliqué. It sure lets you finish more quilts this way.
Every year I "resolve" to get better at applique stitching by hand – but evidently my resolutions go unheeded since it stays on the list year after year. Love the look but I need practice!
Awesome prize! I was always afraid of applique until I took Sarah Fielke's Craftsy class…and then I was hooked! I have several applique projects in progress, but I still do far more patchwork than applique!
What an awesome technique ! I haven't tried much machine appliqué but this looks fun and simple. I enjoy hand appliqué but will defiantly try this on my next quilting project!
I have done machine appliqué, but have not tried hand appliqué yet. Thanks for the sweet giveaway.

I have been doing both machine and hand appliqué for many years. Sure hope I win your giveaway as I have been wanting to try Aurifil's new 80 wt thread !!!! Thanks for this opportunity.
I love all forms of applique. I think it makes a piece interesting. I've also done some 3 dimensional forms.
Yes, I enjoy doing applique. And I love your give-aways. Thanks!
Thank you for the educational appliqué videos.
Great to have access to the best teachers and
supplies!
Yes i do machine applique, but always think I need to improve it!
I do love applique! I do both raw edge and traditional applique. I love to have an applique project to work on here and there in my "down time"….if there is such a thing!
I have done a little applique, but I have never used auriful embroidery thread. I do love the auriful threat, I use it all the time. I have only done the blanket stitch on my applique. thank you for the instructions and a chance to win.
I've had many applique blocks that I've attempted, but I could never find a video telling me exactly how to do it correctly. These videos are going to be a huge help in the near future!
I have used applique in several quilts. I seam to get more comfortable each time. Thanks for the inspiration. Love FQS!
Love to appliqué! I've done fusible/machine sewn appliqué, hand sewn wool felt appliqué, & embroidery machine sewn appliqué. Don't really have a favorite as I love it all!
I do appliqué but learned some new tips on the video.
I have done some machine applique and tried hand applique. I really enjoy the look and would like to make time to do more of it. Thank you for a great giveaway and wonderful online tutorials!
I have only tried applique once before and it was a bit of a challenge. I have since learned why I had such a hard time with it and hopefully I find that project speaks to me and I can give it a try again.
I have done a few projects using applique, both machine and hand stitching.
Thank you for the chance to win.
I have taken a class and done a small project but have yet to take the complete plunge!
I am slowly working my way into applique and have tried a few different methods; haven't tried needle turn yet though. I am enjoying it so far. And I would SO love to win this prize! And how timely it would be if I did win because in mid October I will be laid up in bed after some surgery and what better time to practice a little hand stitched applique!!
Thanks for the opportunity to win!
kakingsbury at verizon dot net
I recently started a block of the month applique – I watched the video FQS posted with Jill Finley – so far so good! I'm surprised that I actually enjoy it!
I remember as a kid (many years ago!), my mom teaching me to machine applique using the zig zag stitch. It's only in the last two years I've learned needle turn applique and enjoyed that. I've recently tried applique with wool which has been interesting. One day, I hope to create something similar to the Baltimore Album.
Thanks for the chance to win. And thanks for the many YouTube video tutorials. Love your shop and all the inspiration you provide.

I love hand applique (freezer paper/starch). I am especially fond of Bunny Hill Designs applique patterns and have completed several with more on the way!
I jumped right into the applique pool with a full on quilt called Merry Merry Christmas. setting the pieces with a blanket stitch by machine. I have all of the blocks cut and fused, but only four or five stitched down – it is a tedious job – need to pull it out and finish this winter. I also have the pattern for another set of blocks but now sure that I will start them – will see.
I do use appliqué and use it in my quilting. Gosh I hope to win this beautiful prize!!!
Yes and no, I love the look of applique but have a hard time with the execution!
I have done just a few machine appliqués. Love your website and your contests.
I love to applique ! I have tried the new 80 wt Aurifil thread and the stitches just seem to melt away into the fabric. Very fine, but strong thread. Glad to see more colors are available. Thank you for this opportunity to win this wonderful goodie.
I do incorporate applique into my quilting. I do both hand and machine depending on the project I am working on. I find it very relaxing to do the hand applique at the end of the day, as it helps to wind down. 🙂
would love to win this set especially to try out this thread. haven't used it before.
Donna
Thanks for the informative videos to help me improve my appliqué techniques!
I've been getting lots of appliqué practice while working on Lori Holt's Bloom quilt. Before this, I had done very little.
I have never appliqued. I will have to watch the videos and try out this technique.

I've done machine appliqué once (well technically 4 times) for my kids trick or treat bags last year, and I've done hand appliqué a few times. I'd like to do more though!
I have not tried appliqué yet but like to learn since there are so many pretty projects to make with it!
I have done machine applique and hand applique. I love to do it in the car when traveling!
I have not tried appliqué. Maybe your videos (and this prize) will give me the motivation to give it a try!
I love to hand appliqué while watching tv. Right now I am doing the Lori Holt Cozy Christmas by hand.
I've done it once, but still need to practice!
I do add applique to my quilting. I love the look and I love the process!
I've started using appliqué for some of The Splendid Sampler blocks. Now, I'm ready to jump in on Bee in My Bonnet appliqué quilt along.
I have just started a project with some applique. Wish me luck!
I haven't done much appliqué and have only done hand appliqué. I would love to try more and this kit would be a wonderful aid to getting started. Even if I don't win, I'll still buy some of the items listed.
I have done applique, but prefer needle turn because of the finished edges and its portability. I like raw edge for smaller projects. Thanks!
I have done applique, but it's something I don't do enough! Love the whimsical touch it adds.
I am a sporadic applique person. Mostly, I will do machine applique, even though I have had an applique class with Becky Goldsmith (wonderful teacher).

I currently try to use applique in a lot of quilting, I am still learning and love to learn new techniques! Would love to win!
I'm excited to try these embroidery techniques -hoping to win. Thanks for the giveaway. rjc2cam(at)gmail(dot)com
I LOVE doing applique by hand and by machine. This is an amazing giveaway~~~ I can't get the hang of needle turn, but I have to leave something to learn in my retirement years 🙂
I'm so glad you are doing video's on applique. So many are afraid to try it. I use applique all the time, mostly by hand. Thanks so much.
I've done both machine and hand appliqué but prefer hand, mainly because I can work on it at night while watching TV ��
I absolutely LOVE to applique. I find great joy in working with fabric this way. It restores my soul.
There will be 4 of us starting an applique project from Anni Downs. Three of the ladies in the group are very experienced in hand applique, I'm a beginner with VERY little experience. I am confident
that I can get more proficient with the help of my friends and your videos. Your giveaway #4 would be an awesome addition to my applique supply tote.
I've done a little applique both fusible & hand & I love how it looks.
I love applique, I use it in a lot of quilts, I am still learning and love to try new methods! I would love to win!
I have just started doing applique. I have done both machine and hand. It adds so much to the quilt.
I do machine and hand applique in my quilts and enjoy the hand much more:)
I have been doing little bits of applique for quite a while. I'm comfortable with hand applique, I need more practice with machine applique. Someday, when I've had more experience, I'd like to try a mola. Thank you
I have done hand applique and have more than one machine applique project out and ready to sew…but I haven't made myself do it. Why does it seem scary when hand applique doesn't? 🙂
I purchased Backyard Circus recently because they had a darling pattern for a quilt or wall hanging that I couldn't live without. I find that a lot when it comes to fabric and patterns. As soon as I get it completed I will post it.
OMG…I WOULD LOVE TO WIN this kit! I've never done any needle-turning applique but would to learn how and this kit would certainly help me to achieve that! I want to do a project for CHRISTMAS! What a nice thing-your offer to give this kit away! Blessings your way! Love your store and blog!
I do both hand and machine appliqué! It adds another dimension to an otherwise plain block.
HELLO,I started with Hand Applique,but now I'm enjoying machine applique! Thank You for your Youtube videos>so helpful! Thank You too, for a sweet Giveaway! msstitcher1214@gmail.com
I started hand applique with Lori Holt's Bloom Quilt Along. I love it! It takes a little practice, but I am so pleased with the results. I am now preparing my Cozy Christmas blocks and will hand applique them as well. These prize packs look fabulous! Thanks for a chance to win. Fat Quarter Shop rocks!
I enjoy doing machine and hand applique to add extra interest to my projects.
I use applique, on a lot of different quilting projects.
I haven't been using applique lately, but would like to get back into it. There are just so many options when it comes to applique!
I have done many projects with machine applique but have yet to try hand applique. It is one of those skills that I have yet to try. This would be a great set to win.
Looks so fun! I
have not used
applique yet
but have been
thinking about
it.
Carla from Utah
I love to appliqué especially by hand!
What a great give away! I love applique! I do fusible, machine and wool applique.. I would like to do more needle turn and freezer paper applique. The videos are awesome– Thank you!
I fairly new to quilting and Have done one applique table runner Would love to do more
Yes, I have used machine applique in one of my quilts. The open toe foot makes it so much easier- wouldn't applique without it! Wonderful giveaway- thank you, Susan spierssusan52@gmail.com
I have appliquéd in the past and will be doing machine appliqué in the heirloom quilt class I am currently taking. Thank you for the opportunity to enter your giveaway.
I already tried my hand on applique'… My favourite is raw edge machine applique' which is really cute and easy to make. Right now I am practicing needle turn and other hand applique'… So fun!
I just finished a baby quilt for my new nephew; the theme of the quilt was deer, moose, arrows,etc., with matching fabric. I machine-appliqued a white deerhead on the back for my quilt label and then wrote the baby's name and info on that. It's the first time that I made my label into a particular shape and I really like how it turned out!
Wow!! This was perfect timing for this post. I don't do a lot of applique, but this morning I was doing a search on applique techniques for a block I am working on for a quilt show!! Thank you so much for the timely post and vid's!!
I love applique and it is just so elegant but I just cannot seem to get the hang of it. I know, just keep practicing. I appreciate your creative mind as well as your boundless energy. You go girl. Thank you so much for all that you do for us and these giveaways are just amazing as well as generous. There is nothing like seeing a nice squishy package in your mailbox. You know you just won a wonderful giveaway. Just makes your day even more special. Thank you for the chance to become a winner.

I have done a whole quilt with each block machine appliqued. I love it. Applique is part of the quilter's life!
I have not tried to appliqué yet. To tell you the truth I love the look but was very apprehensive about trying it. I want mine to look as beautiful as everyone else's! After watching the videos it looks easier than I thought. I love watching videos it gives us all the courage we need to get started. Everyone has such a positive "You Can do this!" attitude. I'm willing to give it a try now. 🙂 I hope you will do a video on EPP. I don't quite get that. Just a little suggestion for the suggestion box. Unless you have done one already and I missed it.
I love to applique and I think I quilt so I have a surface to applique on. LOVE IT….
Love applique in my quilts. It can be hand or machine. I just finished a needleturn appliqued wall hanging, that I am so proud of.
I've tried and failed to use applique but I just love how it looks and the amazing flexibility of adding anything you want. IF I win I'll try again!
I love appliqué and do lots of hand appliqué. Thanks for the giveaway!!
Applique scares the dickens out of me! This is a fantastic prize pack that would surely encourage me to make the jump. 🙂 Thanks for the chance!
I love applique, I use it in a lot of quilts, I am still learning and love to try new methods! I would love to win!
I didn't do any applique until this summer. I purchased some row by row kits and they were all applique! I've completed 2, and I have 3 more to go (got sidetracked with another quilt project 😀 ). I used fusible and stitched by machine on the cotton one. The other is wool, and I had some problems with that.
I have been machine appliqueing quilts for a few years but can always learn. At first I didn't care for it but the more I do, the more I love it! Never can have too much thread or too many gadgets!
Vicki Kirkpatrick
I love the look of appliqué, although I've only tried to appliqué by machine and using fusibles
I HAVEN'T DONE ANY APPLIQUE IN YEARS, BUT I AM READY TO START AGAIN!! THANKS FOR THE GIVEAWAY.
I love applique by machine and hand, it adds a whole other dimension to quilts. 🙂
Would love to work more with hand applique. Have done both hand and machine, I like the look of hand more.
I do a fair amount of machine appliqué, but I have yet to try hand appliqué. Thanks for this chance at this awesome prize!
I love to applique, but I only do machine applique. I've been watching the Jolly Jabber on doing the Cozy Christmas BOM. The quilt blocks look like they are hand appliqued and look fantastic. I've always wanted to learn hand applique. Maybe it's a good time to start with the video on hand quilting and the Cozy Christmas blocks.
Thanks for all the you tube instructions. I have done some applique by machine. Must say that I like the visual impact of blanket stitchh or satin stitch, but this requires alot of practice. Not sure if I see well enough to do much hand applique. Thanks for the giveaway, generous FQS!
I am not as comfortable with appliqué as I would like to be. Right now, I'm working on a wool appliqué project and Lori Holt's Cozy Christmas project and enjoying both. Thanks for the videos!
I have done a couple of appliqué quilts and really enjoyed the process. Looking forward to doing more!!
I've only done machine appliqué. So far . . . . ????
I just took an applique class and it was so much fun! I can't wait to finish my first applique quilt.
I have tried hand applique once. I'm hoping to perfect it with the Cozy Christmas quilt. Your video came at the perfect time. Maybe I'll quit procrastinating and get my blocks done!
I have just recently, within the last ear. Begun to add applique into my projects. I'm still learning about many techniques to see where my comfort lies. Thanks for the videos!
I have done machine appliqué. I would also like to try hand appliqué, as well. Thank you for all your helpful video tutorials!
Oh yay! I love applique! I just learned several techniques this year so I am still trying to find my signature in applique, but so far I love it. Thanks for the chance to win!

I am currently working on hand appliqué of a Dresden Plate block using Lori Holt's small Tumbler template. I am having so much fun and I love the bright colors. I could do it on the machine but there is just something satisfying about doing it by hand. Fall weather and hand sewing make me happy!
I love applique! It is my favorite quilting technique. I hand applique using freezer paper and starch to turn my edges.
I tried some applique this summer on row by row kits I purchased. I used fusible on the cotton, and machine appliqued with the blanket stitch. I did one with wool and hand appliqued that. Not my favorite technique, but I'm learning! Thanks for the videos, I have 3 rows left to do.
Hi Kimberly! Thanks for the give away! The prize looks yummy! I use applique in my quilts both ways, hand stitched and machine stithed. I even appliqued little doll clothes for a 'paper doll' quilt for my granddaughter. Can't wait to see her face when she opens the package with her paper doll quilt!
I love appliqued quilts. Have made a few already. I recently visited the European Quilt Show in France, and now I am inspired to incorporate more applique in my quilts again. Living very far from any quilt shop, I really hope to win this give-away!
I have only been quilting now for 2 years. I have become addicted to the Fat Quarter Shop newsletters, blogs, twitter and every single video. My quilts come out more perfect when I follow exactly how you measure and cut. I admire you so much and love the fabrics and the aurifil. I am in the process of making a potted flower block and will be appliqueing each flower (6). I am hoping to win this so I can use this gorgeous thread. I am a BIG Fan, hoping to get picked. I followed your tutorial to make this gorgeous block.
I love using machine appliqué. I prefer to machine stitch over hand stitching.
My attempt at applique has not been very good. I have tried several times, but I just can't seem to get the hang of it 🙁
I think applique on quilts is beautiful. My hand applique never looked as good as I wished, but then I discovered machine applique and love it. It's definitely the method for me.
I love to applique by hand. To me it is very relaxing.
I always have some sort of applique project going! Needleturn on freezer paper is my favorite, but fusible is great for a quick project. Thanks for the giveaway!
I love to do hand applique
I am currently using fusible Applique from make decorative pumpkin pillows.
I love to applique by hand. To me it is very relaxing.
To be completely honest – I no longer use appliqué in my quilting. In fact, I avoid it like the plague. I did some appliqué early in my quilting life, but I lost my patience the older I got.
However, I have gotten all of the supplies for Lori Holt's Cozy Christmas quilt, so maybe there's hope for me yet. Nice, relatively large pieces; no bad, nasty inside points. I think I can, I think I can, . . . . .
Hang on, Lori – I'm trying to get there!
I haven't done applique in many, many years because I didn't like it. Maybe it's time to take another look and see if it's easier. Thanks for the drawing.
I love applique, but usually do it as an accent. Would love to do more, but even on the machine, sometimes the stitching becomes tedious for me. Perhaps I need more experience.
I do use applique. I am more confident doing it by hand than machine but do both.
Have tried some simple applique a few years ago but would like to get into the art of applique today.
I have used applique. I really like and love the look. Have a collection of already cut orange peels from a yard sale.
Need to practice. Thanks for the chance and the great tutorials.
A Big Sky Wish form Montans.
I haven't tried appliqué yet but it is on my list of things to try. I made my first button hole for a quilted tote, instead of a magnetic closure, on the weekend. Maybe appliqué is next. I think I would need to start with machine appliqué to save time.
I have not done applique, but absolutely love it. I am leaning towards machine applique too. Can't wait to try it after this tutorial!!
Thanks!!
Sure would love to win! I do enjoy appliqué so very much!
Have not used applique..beginner quilter
I enjoy hand appliqué at night while watching tv. I'm doing Lori Holt's Cozy Christmas in machine appliqué. I have not used her method before but am enjoying it! Love learning new techniques! Thank you for your wonderful website and giveaways!
I love love love to applique. I applique by hand, embroidery machine and sewing machine. I also utilize my scan and cut for cutting applique pieces from cutting files I've created myself. Did I mention I love the Fat Quarter Shop?
I have not tried to applique on a quilt yet, because I am still new to quilting. Hopefully I will be brave and try it soon.
I only recently started using appliqué in my projects. So far so good, but I have only tried ones with very simple outlines.
I have not tried to applique on a quilt yet, because I am still new to quilting. Hopefully I will be brave and try it soon.
I do a little bit of hand applique on some of my quilts. I'm not brave enough to try machine applique and I just like doing a little handwork from time to time.
I just started raw edge machine applique after a class with Sue Nickels. Having so much fun. sweetana2 at yahoo dot com
My 1st quilt was Sunbonnet Sue & Overall Sam I needle-turn appliqued while in High School (in the 70's). That's my preferred method but when time is crucial I turn to either fusible or the Lori Holt method. It's great to have many choices. I received my set of tins and love them but you can never have too many. Aurifil is my thread of choice and I've never used 80 wt-that would be sooo exciting to win so thanks for a chance to win this lovely set.
I love hand applique and recently finished a turtle applique onto a fabric journal cover for my daughter to go back to school with. But when I can I like applying applique to a quilt as well.
I have yet to start appliqueing.
I finished Lori Holt's Bloom applique quilt this summer and really enjoyed machine appliqueing the flowers. I used the interfacing technique and prefer the fusible applique technique better.
I love to do applique, hand needle turn and machine zig zag and also wool applique with the buttonhole stitch
I love all types of applique. Currently I'm doing two freezer paper/starch method & hand applique. And one fusible web – machine applique.
I do appliqué sometimes on my kids' clothing. So far, it has been adding crocheted lace to dresses and tops.
I am new to quilting, but I just made a quilt with appliques! I found a pattern and traced it out on fusible web. I secured it with a zig-zag stitch. It turned out great, but I'm looking forward to learning more techniques.
I have done machine embroidery but would love to try this.
I have not yet tried applique. I have only made a handful of quilts so I am still getting comfortable with piecing and quilting. I'm sure I'll add applique some day!
I have done VERY little applique but plan to give it another go soon. A Lori Holt quilt may be a place to start. I greatly enjoy the tutorials and always come away inspired.
Thank you for the give-a-way opportunity!

I have done and currently do both machine applique and hand applique. I've not tried these threads and would love the opportunity to do so. The colors are great.
I do use applique, and am working on three new designs right now. The mix of piecing and applique is very appealing.
Until recently, appliqué was at the bottom of my quilting techniques. But a workshop at
our Quilt Guild Saturday Sew has me working on an applique quilt!
I have all kinds of books on applique and have watched tutorials, but I have yet to start applique. I don't know what I am scared of.
Love applique. I do needle turn applique. Haven't gotten up the courage to try machine applique. Thank you for a chance to win these awesome gifts.
I do needle turn, freezer aper method and raw edge with fusible–I like them all and often have a few appliques on my pieced quilts.
I use both machine and hand appliqué.
I love applique!! I have a Baltimore album style quilt in the works now. I call it my opus project. This is a beautiful applique work kit.
I definitely use applique on my quilting adventures, as many of the patterns I am working on call for it.
I have not yet mastered machine applique techniques, as I am a very new quilter who has lots to learn, but I love doing all the prep work and then settling down in the evenings and stitching by hand. I love it!
I haven't tried it yet but I plan to eventually.
I love hand appliqué! I did Lori Holt's bloom blocks and I' am currently working on the Cozy Christmas quilt!
I am loving Applique more each time I do it. I am learning to use my decorative stitches along with the basic Applique.
I like to do appliqué on baby quilts. Do some appliqué, but not a lot. It really adds to the quilt.
I use it when a project calls for it, like in HQMs QAL last year and my Halloween costume last year, but don't really work it into muy own personal projects unless I have to. Oh, reverse applique is the best! I get that in on as many projects as I can!
I do lots of applique. I try to use Aurifil thread as much as possible. Building my color collection.
I have done a little bit, but I don't consider myself as an expert. I want to learn more and get better.
I am also new to quilting,but did a lot of machine appliqué on my girls clothes when they were small and even more on granddaughter's clothing.Now that they are growing up,I've started quilting.Maybe a quilt will be appliquéd for a future great grand.
I just learned how to do needle turn applique and love it! I am currently working on my first project which is a wall hanging kit by Jan Patek. I also want to learn other methods of hand applique.
Applique….eeewwww! I felt like that for years. Then, like a bowl of ice cream, I just can't get enough of it. This is thanks to Pat Sloan's Splendid Sampler. So, it is much appreciated that you have given these tutorials to teach me more. Thank you, big time. I mostly do machine applique, okay, let's get honest here, because I am lazy. Just started trying to learn the needle tuck method. I am such an impatient lady!
I have only done one applique and that was 10 year and counting and did it by hand and told myself I would never use applique again, but now watching your you tubes I think I will be using the machine way. Thanks for that
I do enjoy machine appliqué. It adds so much to a quilt. Thanks for the chance to win!
I really haven't explored applique to it's fullest but do plan to in the near future as I have a project to do that has lots of applique.
These are wonderful tutorial videos! Thank you! I would have to say I do applique occasionally, usually as part of a larger pieced quilt. I do love it, both how it looks and doing it! Thanks for the lovely giveaway! cotten.gloria@gmail.com
I love both hand and machine applique, however I do my machine applique with a satin stitch. I use applique often I think it spices things up a bit. Thanks for the chance on your wonderful giveaway!
I do enjoy machine appliqué. It adds so much to a quilt. Thanks for the chance to win!
I have never used applique on my quilts, but would love to try!
Yes, I do some applique, usually on smaller wall quilts. I love the "handwork" part of it. It's soothing and relaxing. Thank you for the chance at the generous giveaway!
I do enjoy appliqué in my quilts. I like to do the appliqué by hand.
I've done a fair amount of machine applique and some hand applique. I've also done some free motion embroidery in conjunction with applique and quilting. Most recently, I've done hand applique of woolens and wool felts, both "invisible" and decorative. I would love to have a chance to play with the 80 wt. threads! Thanks.
I do more patchwork than aplique, but I just finished a wall quilt with a red elephant on a grey background for a granddaughter who is a senior at the University of Alabama. Next I am making a wall quilt of 4 horse heads for her sister who is a junior at Murray State in Kentucky. That school's team is the Racers.
Love hand Applique!!! It is so relaxing and portable. I try and have work prepped and ready to go all the time. Appliquing by machine is on my bucket list. What a wonderful give-away!
I enjoy applique!! I've done needle turn and fusible; hand stitching and machine stitching. The give-away looks wonderful!
I just starting to applique paper pieced stars onto a baby quilt this last weekend. Love these YouTube tutorials! Thanks for the giveaway!
I love applique projects. There are so many ways.
I love applique projects. There are so many ways.
I am currently working on Cozy Christmas which contains quite a bit of appliqué. It is a learning experience.
I do machine Applique on lots of things including quilts.
I've done some fusible appliqué and some of the quick-turn appliqué, but haven't yet tried needle-turn–that's the gold standard, I think and I'm looking forward to it.
I enjoy applique, I use to only do handwork, now I also do machine applique. Thank you for a great giveaway.
I do not currently use applique in my sewing, but I'm always looking for something new!
I did my very first appliqué ever in a quilt for my grandbaby just recently. I did not do much, as I was just seeing if I "could" and if I liked it. Annnnd I am HOOKED! I can't wait to start more. I need to get supplies for it, but I am going to have applique projects out my ears for a while. Sooo fun.
I've avoided applique so far because I'm a newbie and I'm trying to get the basics down… but there's a really cute applique kit I'm excited to get into.
I recently finished piecing a queen size quilt top where I used fusible and then a machine stitch buttonhole around the appliqué pieces. It was a daunting project but I would do more appliqué if the quilt design really called to me.
I have quilted for many, many years, and use piece work, hand embroidery, machine embroidery, paper pieceing , and applique .
I normally do machine applique, but she makes the hand applique look so easy, I am going to try it on my next project. Thank you for the giveaway.
I've done a few raw edge appliqued baby quilts, as well as a few appliqued wall quilts. It's not my greatest forte but I love to challenge myself.

After many years of not trying appliqué, I finally did and found that I do like it. I did Lori Holt's Bloom Quilt-A-Long and am now doing the Cozy Christmas one, and my appliqué skills have improved enmourously. I ONLY do machine appliqué and I use the 50 wt Aurifil thread. HOWEVER, since you have introduced the 80Wt thread and say it is good for machine appliqué, I WOULD LOVE TO TRY IT. This is a fabulous give-away and I would LOVE to win
I typically do needle turned applique as I do a lot of Hawaiian-style quilting. However, I'm trying to perfect my machine applique.
I do machine applique on some of my quilt projects. I have recently completed an appliqued butterfly quilt top.
I love to applique by hand, not so much by machine! I just do it very slowly since I have so many knitting and crochet projects going on as well!
Yes! I love both machine and hand appliqué.
I have learned to appliqué while working on Lori Holt's Cozy Christmas blocks. I love her technique. So easy to do and the results are wonderful.
I was afraid of applique, but decided to do some needle turn while spending time with my family. I think I am hooked!! I am on my third project now and not going to stop!!
I use fusible appliqué and am also loving Lori Holt's version when I did Blooms and now Cozy Christmas. Always nice to see videos on appliqué. I always -I know up additional tips!! Thanks for the one today!!
I haven't appliqued in YEARS!! Unless you count patching holes in jeans!!
I use applique on my quilts and table runners, I am making a table runner now for my cousin.I usually use fusible and machine, thanks for the chance to win!
I used to do alot of machine applique on my quilts but have a new machine. Am planning to figure out how to applique on the new machine as soon as I muster up the courage. Watching your tutorial videos should help! Thanks for sharing!

I started out embroidering and have expanded into applique. I love the process of both. TY for the giveaway!

I applique and used to think it was hard but Lori Holt's method made it super easy.
I appliqued a label on to a table runner I made for a friend, but so far that has been all the applique I've done. I would love to win this prize and try the 80 weight Aurifil thread! Thank you for the opportunity! ljbisme at msn dot com.
I rarely do applique – I really should do more!!
I have not worked with applique but I really want to learn. It adds so much to quilts.

Ii have done some appliqué. This tutorial makes me less fearful! Love the glue technique to hold the pieces in place!! Thank you for the tutorials!
I have never appliqued. But would love to start! Being so new to quilting, I am a bit scared. But when I watch the videos, I feel like it might not be as hard as I think. Hope to try soon.
My first try at applique was Lori Holt's Bloom quilt. I really enjoyed it and look forward to learning more about this technique.
I have only played a bit with applique, don't have much confidence in my applique skills. I have done small amounts on wall hangings, by macine, but I do like hand sewing and would like to get up the confidence to try it a bit more.
never applique but do have 3 letters I someday want to applique to a denim bag….
I just completed a large fall quilt using fusible appliqué that has various shaped pumpkins/vines/leaves on it. I've also done hand appliqué on quilts in the past.

About 6 years ago I was able to attend a P3 Designs retreat and overcame my fear of applique. Love the freezer paper/starch method now. I have yet to try machine applique.
I like machine appliqué, but I have a hand appliqué sunbonnet sue waiting to be finished.
djcutting2 at gmail dot com
I love to machine applique my quilts. I have never attempted to applique by hand. Maybe this will give me the inspiration to try hand applique.
I prefer hand applique but am currently on an embroidery streak
I'm doing appliqué on a stocking for my littlest one right now! Sew much fun!!
I'm currently working on a project using machine applique. I'd like to get better at doing hand applique in the future.

I have tried it on a Sunbonnet Sue quilt and recently on a wall hanging. I need more practice
I enjoy doing applique.. both hand and machine. Thanks for the great giveaway.
Applique is one of my favorite sewing forums! It always tell a story with fabric and thread!
On ocassion I do use aplique. It is more time-consuming and I've been finishing my stack of quilt tops first.
I am yet to take up this technique in my quilts.. I'm too scared to try but sooner or later I will surely do give it a try ????
I have done hand applique and machine applique. I prefer the machine since it goes so much faster and I can do a neater job of it.
I use appliqué a little bit, but want to do it more adventurously!
I've done a little applique, not much. I took a class recently where we used a similar method to the first video, but with card stock and spraying starch on the whole piece. I think I'd like to try it with the freezer paper. Laying the template on the bias was a great tip.
I do use appliqué in some of my quilts. Used to do it by hand but now I have an embroidery machine so I will be doing it on my machine.
Working on my first big Applique quilt! Lots of fun….sometimes….
I do applique on my bags. I love applique took two craftsy classes. It is a challenge though with only one hand, having lost my right hand in a lumber mill accident. I have figured out ways of doing things even some embroidery that I thought I would never ever be able to do again. Can't figure out french knots yet though. Still working on it. Thank you for the videos. I live way out from any city so the videos are awesome.
I like to do the fusible appliqué with a blanket stitch or machine appliqué. Also I'm enjoying the Lori Holt technique in the Cozy Christmas sew along, so fun ����
I use applique all the time and love it.
I love to use appliqué in my quilting and sewing! This would help out! Thanks for the opportunity!
Don't you love how many sewists love this giveaway!? I've been wanting to learn needle turn applique to give some curves to my quilting.
I have done some small appliqué projects and totally enjoyed it. Thanks for a great giveaway.
I love applique in any form! Right now I am doing some blocks that combine embroidery and applique that I just love and get this!!! I am using Aurifil thread for my applique and it is the best, no kidding. Some of them are done with EPP and the Aurifil really works well for that.
I have used it…both fusible and needle turned. I like the way applique looks, but I'm just so slow with it that a big project isn't going to happen.
I have used hand and machine applique on small projects, for example a wall hanging, a table runner. I do better using wool or felted wool than fabric. Need more instructions for hand applique. Love the Laundry Baskets appliqued quilt projects.
Thanks for the awesome give-away!!
Love, love, love appliqué!!! My favorite!
I have not worked too much with applique but I was gifted a wonderful cat applique book that I can't wait to try!
I love combining applique and piecing. I machine applique(cotton) or wool applique to accent and bring more life to my quilts. Love the new tins and thank you for a chance to win!
I use applique frequently! I love making throw pillows and little dresses for my daughter with applique. I am Native American from the Northwest Coast and also use a ton of applique for making button blankets and dancing shawls.

I've done a bit of machine applique on mini quilts but I haven't worked up the nerve to applique anything by hand yet. There are always new techniques to learn which is why quilting is so fun!
WoW! Lots of great comments!
I love hand applique…not as fond of machine done! I always have an applique project going!
My applique journey began with a Dear Jane variation which seemed to teach me many different techniques.
Thanks so much for the chance to win this perfect bundle,of applique goodness!
I do a little machine applique when the project calls for it, but not often.
I've used and still use appliqué but it's not my favorite sewing method. Although I always love the finish projects.
I was a little scared of hand appliqué as those stitches seemed to much for me until I watched a few of these videos. Up until then most of my appliqué was by machine but did not find it very satisfying. I have now finished my first hand appliqué project (one of Kim Diehl's What Notclub projectsfromFQS!) and I am smitten! Can't wait to start the next one!
I have used and do use applique and love it!
Love to win. Addicted to applique since joining a loveley workshop with Sarah Fielke

I've been doing applique on quilts and really do enjoy it. Haven't tried doing it with sewing but hope to someday try.
Yes to appliqué! I have made several quilts and wall hangings using fusible appliqué. I use a blanket stich on the machine and it works great for me. I have taken a lesson in needle turned appliqué and am still working on an Hawaiian piece. Appliqué is great fun and the videos are well done.
I looove applique and add it a lot to my quilts. Still learning and improving my skills. My favourite one is needleturning.
I love machine applique and make at least one wall quilt with lots of applique every year.
I just finished designing and making a BOM for my guild with applique blocks. It is posted on my blog.
I like to applique by hand but have done some machine applique too.
I have tried applique a little bit. I'm not very good at it yet, but practice will get me there.
I am working on a quilt now that combines both piecing and applique. Loving it.
Love to do needleturn appliqué on my quilts and have done some machine appliqué but not real comfortable with it. Love your videos of different techniques on how to do applique! Keep up the good wok on teaching quilting! I love it all!
I used appliqué when I made the Bloom quilt in the sew along. I love the look and would love to have this gift set.
I have only tried it a couple times many years ago. It's time I incorporate it my quilting.
My mom is learning how to appliqué right now! I have been purchasing your deal of the days to build her a big quilting set for her birthday in October. This would be an amazing addition!!
I love stitching on my machine but occasionally I will hand applique if calld for it! I love to hand embroider though…thanks for the giveaway hope I win!!
I love applique and have always done machine applique but I recently took a small class taught by a very good hand applique expert! Fun!
I enjoy hand applique and machine applique for quicker projects. Adding either to a quilt adds a lot of interest.
I love the look of applique but haven't tried it yet. I have done wool applique and want to learn to use applique in quilting. I'm anxious to watch the videos. Thank you for a chance to win one of your giveaways.
I love applique,,,needle turn applique is my favorite as I love hand sewing!! Love this give away, thank you for the chance!!
My mom is currently learning to appliqué. I have been working for her birthday present for a while-buying her different items to put together a quilting set for her birthday at the end of October. This would be a great addition. She is partially paralyzed in one arm and the quilts she has made are amazing.
I currently do machine applique/raw-edge fusible on my quilts. But I am getting ready to take a hand applique class. This prize would be awesome. Thanks for another great giveaway.
I love hand applique. Hand work is so relaxing. Thank you for the opportunity to win.
I've done machine fusible applique with machine stitching around it I've always wished I could do hand but it is on my bucket list. Thanks.
I do machine appliqué for shirts for my kids. I use my cricut machine to cut out the appliqué and then sew them on with my sewing machine. I have been following your blog and Instagram hoping to finally start a quilt.
I love hand applique. Hand work is so relaxing. Thank you for the opportunity to win.
I love to applique! Awesome give-away!!!
I have done hand applique for a quilting class I attended. Maybe machine applique is on my horizon!
About 25% of my quilting projects are applique and I have done various types over the years with needle turn being my favorite. I want to purchase Lori Holt's Cozy Christmas Quilt Kit after seeing the darling blocks. I am presently doing Elea Lutz Garden Fairy with the kit and backing I purchased from FQS.
Mary in Mt. Perry. Ohio
I have done a lot of applique on my quilts. My favorite method is Kim Diehl's invisible machine applique. I also do the fusible method especially when working with wool.
i enjoy doing appliqué, with machine stitching. Thanks for the chance to win!
I have done some applique but not a lot. Would love to change that with this prize package!
I do add applique but I'm not the best at it. Practice, practice, practice.
Embroidery Machine applique!
I have yet to try it. I am kind of new to sewing so I am still trying to master my straight lines, lol! This is in my future forecast however!
Thanks LeeAnne
leeleedel@comcast.net
I've done machine and hand appliqué . Winning this prize package would be wonderful!
I love applique and use it often in my quilting.
Thankyou for these videos! I have used fusible Web before but didn't like the way it stiffened the fabric. Edyta's windowing is perfect! I have also used hand applique and really like the technique using the spray starch. Will have to try it on my next applique quilt project. Thanks for the opportunity to win such a great prize!
I've done a little applique but never put it in a quilt. Thanks for a chance to win some fun items!
I just completed my first appliqué project. It was a baby blanket. Needless to say I think I need more practice!!
I don't use a lot, as I'm not confident about it. My first attempt was less than what I had hoped. Now that I'm a few years past that, I really want to start again.
Julie.mirdoch@shaw.ca
I've only done one applique project (by machine) so far. It was raw edge, I'd really like to learn how to do turned edge next. Thanks for the great giveaway!
I tried applique about 18 years ago on a baby blanket I made and just stitched the designs on by hand. I didn't know then that there are a lot of supplies and techniques that would've made the job much easier and probably a lot prettier, too. I haven't tried it since then, but I think about it quite a bit. These videos are definitely helping me find the motivation to give it another shot!
Thanks for the chance to win!

I recently started learning EPP using Hugs & Kisses appliqué paper but I haven't done any other type of appliqué yet. Would love to get this set and get started learning!
I have machine appliquéd, and recently used needle-turn applique on 8 quilt border blocks. Thanks for the videos.
I like to applique on occasion.
I have always done a lot of applique work and now finally have an embroidery machine that has made my life so much easier. I still do some wool applique by hand. With grandkids I always love to do applique in their outfits!
I use applique almost daily – quick fuse is my most favourite method. I add it to quilts and mug rugs and pretty much anything.
I haven't ever done applique before when quilting or sewing. I do have a LOT of projects pinned that use applique.
I have not used applique in quilting but must give it a try. I have used it on childrens t shirts but that is about the extent of my applique!
I have tried a few samples. Trying to work up my confidence for a Merry merry snowmen quilt kit I have saved.
I recently had my first go at applique in my My Small World Quilt (a Jen Kingwell pattern). I did needleturn applique. I am growing to LOVE handwork and can't wait to try some of the other types of applique on future projects.
I haven't tried applique yet but it's definitely on my to-do list. I have a certain project in mind but I have promised myself not to start a project until I finish the one I'm currently working on.
Aloha from Maui! I do hand applique, and love it!
Yes, I use appliqué–usually by machine. I'm very excited to try the new weight 80 thread.
I'm currently not using appliqué… Sounds to complicate for me…
But I should try…
Maybe in one next Quilt?
I love to do appliqué!
I'd be interested in learning needle-turn applique someday. But have done a couple of baby quilts, Baby Life Quilt and Confetti both by Vanessa Christenson, with applique. I really should do another Confetti quilt (or a Bloom quilt!) that was a lot of fun. Thanks for the giveaway!
I am a beginner of appliqué. I have been making the Kimberbell bench pillows. I have attempted hand appliqué but need to learn more.
I have not done applique yet. I have taken a class and just waiting to take a deep breath and dive in!! Thanks for the giveaway!!
I have done very little applique by machine. Thanks for the awesome giveaway!????
I haven't taken on applique yet. I have a contact allergy to one form of formaldehyde which is typically found in adhesives and glue. So I am leary to try it for that reason.
Appliqué is my FAVORITE quilting technique! I like hand, needle-turn the best. It's how I relax in the evenings. I consider it my version of painting! This box of goodies looks like a yummy box of candy to me! And no calories to worry about!! Thank you!
Threads, and fabrics and tins oh my! I definitely have a love/not much love relationship with appliqué. But it gives it a special touch to the quilts!
I love applique. I was inspired several years ago by Fat Quarter shop! You had a quilt kit called Scrappy Plate quilt. I appliqued mine instead of machine quilt. It was a great project to work on while traveling.
Applique' is my go-to favorite thing to do. I have two big needle-turn projects under way and designing pieces for a custom quilt. I find it relaxing and satisfying, makes excellent "carry along" project, and gives quilts their own personality. One piece or an entire quilt, applique' is yummy!

I really enjoy applique of all kinds though my favourite is hand applique. I have just finished two wool applique table mats and I am eager to start a third. I use hand applique for wall hangings and table runners and machine and/or fusible for all items that require a lot of washing or if I am not sure how the recipient will care for their gift. This is an absolutely awesome giveaway. Thank you for offering it.
I'm always excited every month to receive my Fat Quarter Sampler box to see all the new goodies, this giveaway looks just as fun and exciting and I would be thrilled to win it. I am a fall/winter applique/handwork junky. Thanks for having all these great giveaways!!
I have very little experience with applique but have used it on a few small zippered pouches. Thank you for the videos and the giveaway!
I have done a little bit of fusible applique, which was then permanently machine-stitched. I haven't needle-turned any decorative applique – unless you count my quilt labels. I just finished attaching an Erlenmeyer flask (test tube) shaped label to a "Science Fair" quilt back. I've also made a Christmas ornament block label and an Apple Core block label which I've attached to other quilts.
I love your giveaway prize package and would be inspired to use it on something more intricate if I were your lucky winner!
I love appliqué quilts. I have been intimidated by the needle turn method but I have done a few. I like the glue trick! I will look for those needles too. I don't like using nylon thread though. I've seen the stitching come out. I love all the Aurifil thread colours and I think that thread can add to the beauty of the quilt. I love to try some of those heavier weight threads.
I am just getting back into quilting. I have missed sewing so much! I love all your products. They really get my creative juices flowing! !
I haven't used appliqué on a quilt yet, but I have done appliqué on zipper pouches and baby bibs, and some other items.
I have done mostly hand appliqué but recently have been trying the machine appliqué. Thus far I prefer the hand appliqué because I find it calm and relaxing. I would be thrilled to win the 4 th giveaway as would all entrants, so good luck all.
I am just getting back into quilting. I have missed sewing so much! I love all your products. They really get my creative juices flowing! !
The colour of the threads are so pretty ♥

I do hand applique and enjoy it even more with my little set of Aurafil 80 wt that I got at FQS.
I love applique and used to hand applique until I bought a machine that has a great blanket stitch and now I do it all with that.
I enjoy applique when making quilts and wall hangings. My mother always did needle turn applique, but I finish using my sewing machine. I always enjoy your tutorials and learn a lot from them! Thank you!

I enjoy appilique when making quilts and wall hangings. I always enjoy your tutorial and learn from them. Thank you!
I love all foems of applique but especially needle turn, what a wonderful celebration.
I've only sparingly done applique in the past (and machine-stitched at that), but my grandmother showed me a beautiful floral needle-turn pillow cover she made, and now I want to try something similar. This looks nifty for holding the supplies so I don't lose anything down the couch cushions.
I recently bought the Umbrella quilt pattern and this video really helped me understand how to appliqué it. Thank you for making the video. I would love to win one of your prizes. And I thank you for the opportunity.
I learned appliqué and love it. Many of my patterns I choose have appliqué in them.
I love to do raw edge applique and, sometimes applique by machine using a blanket stitch. No matter how hard I try I can't get my hand stitching even. Thank-you for fun giveaway.
I have done applique before, i love the end result, but it takes so much time!
I have been an appliqué lover for 40 yrs. or more, when I was doing appliqué work on the outfits I made for my then small children. Because I had 4 little ones (and a pretty small budget!) I would sketch the outfits from the "better" department stores, and then make my own versions of them. Appliqué was very popular on kids outfits, and I loved doing it!
I have done applique before, i love the end result, but it takes me forever!
I recently took an applique class from Becky Goldsmith. I may give it a try.
I love applique, but have not used it on a quilt yet. Mainly on garments and pillows!
Thanks for the giveaway!
When I do I use fusable appliqué. I'd love to try needle turn, but it's always been a bit daunting.
I'm ready to do some applique! Have used a bit in my quilts, not much.
I utilize appliqué frequently when I quilt. Love the tins and thread!!
I have just recently began doing applique on a project. Hoping to better my skills and try some more!
I love to hand applique or anything by hand. I am always on the look out for patterns.
Occasionally I will add applique to my projects, but mostly I am a piecer. I guess I'll have to revisit the technique! Thanks for the giveaway!
I have done some wool applique using the blanket stitch by hand, but would love to try an applique quilt. I really admire handwork in projects I see but haven't tried a larger project myself.
I am working to improve my machine appliqué technique. I am not very good or fast at hand needlework. I love the appliqué work in the Cozy Christmas sew along, and watching your videos really helps! Thanks for posting them.
I've done applique only once. I printed out a giant 'A' and traced it out on that adhesive stuff and put it on a tote I made. It was so easy! I should do it again. And Again.
I have dipped my toe into applique though am a long way from "mastering" the techniques – any help is appreciated.
thank you so much for the tutorials. I have only tried applique once and quickly got discouraged with my awful stitches. I think winning this wonderful kit and using your tutorials will definitely give me a boost in the right direction. Love your jollyjabber and the Sampler boxes I receive as well! Mburnette912@bellsouth.net
I've never tried appliqué but have been awed and inspired by others that do. Hopefully I will try it soon!
I have become a big fan of doing both hand and machine appliqué and I love it!
I do not do applause as of yet.

I LOVE needle turn appliqué!!!!
I love the look of appliqué and am really excited to try the technique. Thank you for the videos! They are amazingly helpful.
What a nice package of stuff! Would love to win this package….
I've just started adding applique to my quilts — I was always a little nervous about it, but now have a lot of fun!!!!
I have not attempted applique as of yet. However your videos show me it is not as difficult as I thought it was.
I am still learning how to quilt, and that involves learning how to appliqué.
Gotta start somewhere in beginning to build my stash.
I would finish Mama's Garden by Pat Sloan and also the Home Town Charm kit. I had some health problems back in April and they have not resolved yet so I have gotten behind!!!! Thanks for sharing all of your information with us and teaching me!!!!
I do some machine applique. Thanks for your wonderful giveaway!
I have used applique and have one large project using applique on the go! I'm using fusible and a machine satin stitch.
Yes, I have machine appliqued several quilts. Would love to win the giveaway. Big stitch quilting is next on my list and this prize would be great! Thanks.
I have done a little, mostly machine appliqué, but want to have some take along projects. I want to get set up to work on some wool projects. So the giveaway might just be the ticket to get started!
I have lacked the confidence to try applique, although I've wanted to for so long. Maybe after reading this post and watching the YouTube video, I will give it a try! Thanks for the great post and giveaway!
Appliqué is my go to quilt project. I have not tried the aurifil 80 wt yet but am anxious to get my hand on some. If you didn't notice my user name is Applikaye!
I do Machine With a button hole stitch most of the time. Need to try
the Mono-poly thread.
Love the video, I use applique in done of my quilts by machine. I love doing applique.
Over the years, I've done more machine embroidery then hand, but that's changing now that I'm into quilting. I really like appliquing my EPP projects by hand.
Not yet…would love to learn!
I love applique and use it frequently in my quilts and other sewing projects!
Don't yet use applique in my quilts but have seen some cute designs that make me want to try it.
Fantastic giveaway wish Fat quater shop was in the uk as so many wonderful fabrics and quilting notions .
Don't yet use applique in my quilts but have seen some cute designs that make me want to try it.
I have done needle turn applique blocks and also love to add applique (hand or machine) to quilt blocks and other projects.
I love applique. Almost all kinds of applique. For hand applique I use the back basting, or stitch marked, type and it is so easy. There are also times when fusible is great or doing a stitch and turn type for either machine or hand work. It all has a place.
I'm new to quilting and am learning to do hand applique, also do alot of wool applique. Haven't tried machine applique yet. Thank you for the opportunity to be entered into the giveaway.
I love applique , usually use the freezer paper method. That is the way I was first taught. I have tried other methods but always go back to freezer paper. It is the easiest for me. I would love to try the new Aurifil thread for applique. Also, love applique on pieced quilts. Thanks for the chance to win.

I love your giveaway! I applique wool on wool but have just started thinking about doing fabric applique on my quilts. Please sign me up for your giveaway.
I want to start doing more applique for my grands. Beautiful!
I enjoy doing applique both by hand and by machine, but I must say I do it far more often by hand as that is the way I fist learned to do it.
I have tried all forms of appliqué. I love the look it gives to a quilt. It also pushes me to learn new skills and techniques.
Most of my quilts are applique–I just love the hand sewing process! I've never tried the new 80 wt Applique thread–it's on my wish list
I am just now getting into applique and love it.
I am just now getting into applique and love it.
I love doing needle turn applique. Just discovered how awesome the Ariful thread is …awesome ! Would love to win all these great items…
I do needle turn applique and love the look but it takes me sooo long to do because I enjoy the more complicated designs.
I have done a little applique with my sewing machine but have yet to do hand applique. I think it's a great technique and can give results not available otherwise. Thank you for the tutorials with Lori Holt! I will try it at some point!
Just starting a baby quilt with appliqué, your videos were very timely and I will definitely be using the techniques. Thanks.
At the moment I'm making a clamshell project on which I'll try some machine applique. Thanks for the tutorials and the giveaeay ????????????

I haven't used applique yet. I'm hoping to try it soon. Thanks for the chance to enter your giveaway! 🙂
I love adding applique to my quilts.
I really enjoy watching your tutorials. I always learn something new. I usually do hand applique because I'm terrible at machine applique but after watching I may try machine applique again. I really like the thread colors in the gift box.
I just finished a wall quilt with an very appliquéd border. I like appliqué, but don't do as much of it as I probably should.
I have been intimidated by appliqué, thanks for the video!
I've only done appliqué on an embroidery machine. Looking forward to tackling it in new ways.
I've only done appliqué on an embroidery machine. Looking forward to tackling it in new ways.
I have taken a couple classes on applique but have not incorporated it into a quilt yet….perhaps it is time!
I have done a few small projects that included appliqué, but I know very little about it and would like to learn more.
I have taken two classes this year that used machine applique.. It has been an interesting and fun addition to my toolbox. right now I have one top ready to quilt and the other is waiting to be sashed together.
For me, a little applique goes a long way, and I generally favor patchwork. These sweet accessories are sew tempting, though…and having just had a broken hand, maybe a bit of applique would be therapeutic.
I have done applique in the past but not for several years. Maybe it's time to get back to it!
I have several applique projects that I am working on. A couple of tablerunners, and wall hangings. I have done a little needle-turn, but prefer perfused applique. I also am stitching a wool candle mat and appliqueing using the blanket stitch. Thanks for the chance to win!
Kelly Tadlock jandktadlock@msn.con
applique IS awesome! love applique … it's what I do! 80wt?! why has this escaped me? there's always something new to try here in the quilting web!
I have appliqued in the past and I love the results, but It is much slower than regular piecing. Would love to try the aurifil thread especially. thanks for the chance to win
I'm fairly new to applique by hand but with my job we use an embroidery machine for applique.
Thank you so much for this great opportunity!!
I have used applique once and I LOVE IT!!! My little elephant pillow turned out just great and I can't wait to do it again!

Yes, I do appliqué quilts.
I've yet to try, but it's on my list of things to learn.

I just started with appliqué and totally love it!! Thanks for the videos, help so much!! Love your shop and blog!! 🙂

Machine appliqué is now one of the tools in my quilting kit, but I have not done any by hand since my introductory class long ago.
I have begun adding fusible aplique to my quilts in the last year and find that I really enjoy it. I would really enjoy winning the giveaway and seeing what new applique I can add to my next quilt.
I do use applique in my quilting, and most often I do machine applique.
I'm embarrassed to say that I still think of it as the dreaded 'A' word.
I haven't yet, but I have a project lined up to do. I will be doing it needle turn.
I'd love the materials to begin appliqué…..I've never done it before. Happy sewing????

I've done some small projects (i.e. pillows) using fusible webbing appliqué, but I think it might be time to try using a Layer Cake to begin a small quilt project.
I have only done simple applique which I have stitched down using the blanket stitch on my sewing machine, but would love to try hand applique also.
I have only done a couple of small applique projects. Would like to do more. missysaporns@yahoo.com

Forest animals quilt for the grands.

I have done machine appliqué, but I'm looking forward to trying some hand appliqué very soon.

What a lovely gift! I have appliqued but not in regards to quilting. I have just gotten the desire to learn to quilt. This would be a great starter.
I love appliqué. I do machine appliqué. Thanks
I love applique, such a pretty technique. I also like to mix in embroidery.
My Mother was a whiz at applique and now I'm giving it a try.
Many years ago I did an applique workshop with Michelle Yeo. I finished the class block but was not inspired to keep doing applique until I ambitiously decided to make Bronte's Garden last year and am now up to the outside borders, and have fallen in love with needleturn applique once again. I have done fusible and machine applique but needleturn remains my favourite. My next project is going to be Quiltmania's Tuesday Flowers which is a quirky modern needleturn applique.
My Mother was a whiz at applique and now I'm giving it a try.
I am just learning applique and love it!

Thank you so much for the opportunity to win this wonderful bundle of yummy!!
Before retiring, I started a bucket list. Making a quilt was #1 on my list.I had wanted to quilt for over 20 years, but time and money along with space were all issues for me. Now that all of that has changed, I am working on my 3rd quilt!! They aren't perfect,not all of my points are spot on,but I'm getting better. I want to finish 3 more quilts by Christmas one for each of my grandchildren. I am going to try to applique something, even if it is small on my granddaughter's quilt.On second thought, I am not just going to try to applique I WILL applique. Any mistakes will give my quilt character!
I want to thank Fat Quarter Shop for helping to ease my fears of trying new things. I read articles that are on your site and watch the many YouTube videos that you provide, searching for all of the tips you offer so this novice quilter will spread her "thread" and try new things like applique.
Thank you Fat Quarter Shop for inspiring this novice quilter! You are the best!!

I love hand and machine applique. I am currently working on Lori Holt's Cozy Christmas and having sew much fun with it. Thanks for the chance to win such an amazing prize and Happy Sewing!
I do not currently use applique in my quilts
I have learned to do raw edge applique making name banners for my grandchildren. I have to admit it still makes me uncomfortable.
I do not currently use applique in my quilts
I love applique and the appliqued pansy was one of my first turned applique projects. My preference is hand applique, but if I need to finish a project in a hurry, I have done the occasional machine satin stitched applique. To date I have done about 10 applique quilts including four for my grandchildren
I have done some hand applause. I really enjoy it is so relaxing. I don't have a sewing machine that I can do it that way, but maybe one day.
I love applique and just recently made a couple of tablerunners with the Orange Peel pattern using the needle turn technique (my all time favourite!!!).
I do applique, & for years by hand now on machine. learning to hand stitch before the machines had so many great stitches, and long before the stabilizers were readily available. It is a fun technique to learn. Having fun with the fat quarter Shop.
Hi, I have tried applique and would certainly like to do more. Thank you for the opportunity to win prize pack #4. 🙂
I love the look of applique on quilts but I have not yet attempted it myself. 😉
I love to applique. When possible I use the back basting method. I find it relaxing and really enjoy it. Thanks for the chance to win.
You guys do the best videos I love them. I do a lot of wool applique and some regular applique I hate to say I need a lot more practice, and this giveaway would be a big incentive to do that thanks for the opportunity to win
Hi,
I love handwork so applique and/or embroidery are my favorite kinds of quilts. I have almost all of Crabapple Hill and Bunny Hill patterns plus a million more.
I have done some applique in the past mostly on mug rugs and on a baby quilt. I haven't done it in a while. I do have some projects I want to make that will have some applique on them which I will start on in a few weeks. .
I use applique in some of my quilts. I love applique and am really drawn to those quilts that incorporate it. However, time does not allow me to do all I want to do. I should have started quilting at a much earlier age.
I have done some applique, but not a whole lot! I prefer machine applique to hand applique.
I love applique and do it all the time.. most of my quilts are at least partially if not mostly applique. I found I don't care for hand applique (tried it, hated it), but I do love machine techniques.
I love to applique! I've been doing hand sewing since i was a child and find it thoroughly relaxing!!!
I'm a new quilter but I just did my first appliqué project on my machine. I made a quilted zipper bag and it was so much fun!!
I've done applique by machine but I've never done hand applique. That gorgeous set of 80 wt. thread would make it easy to try :).
3dears (at) gmail (dot) com
I have only done two projects with appliqué. I love exploring the added dimensions appliqué adds to a project. Thanks for the opportunity to to find my appliqué niche.
Yes, I have done both hand and machine applique. I like hand best, if I have the time.
I am currently working on a raw edge machine appliqué on my Sew Spooky quilt, it scares me, but I'm getting thru, this project has been "in progress" for at least a couple years��
I enjoy applique more than machine piecing. I can set in my recliner in the evening, watch TV and stitch away. I really enjoy using Aurifil thread as it hides the stitches so nicely, and pulls through the fabric so easily.
I enjoyed the tutorials very much.
Louverna Tomer
I like to machine applique…… it's a bit quicker. Don't have the patience to sit and hand applique….Thank you for the videos, some good sewing food for thought.
I haven't tried it yet, but plan to on my next project!
I have done machine applique with a satin stitch, raw edge, and buttonhole. My current love is needle turn applique. I wouldn't have tried it if I wasn't
for Pat Sloan & Jane's. Splendid Sampler quilt along.
I really love applique. I like doing hand work and am interested in learning how to applique. I have a new great granddaughter and would love to hand sew appliques on bibs, burp cloths, clothing, pillows, etc. would be great to win one of your prizes. They are great!!
I enjoy hand applique more than the machine variety, but I do either depending on the project or timeline. Thanks FQS!
I'm looking forward to trying applique on a quilting project. Started a wool applique project to see if I could master the hand-stitching I'd like to use. akronne17@gmail.com
Yes I applique'. Mostly by needle turn. Would Love winning this give away. Like the tins with the thread. Have already one that. I have also done a bit of machine applique' but really enjoy the handwork. This tray of goodies is really eye candy for a handsewist.
I have yet to applique, but I am about to start an orange peel quilt which I will use my sewing machine to applique.
I have not done any hand applique but am anxious to learn.
I had my first go at applique when I made Lori Holt's Bloom Quilt. She made it so easy and I fell in love with the technique.
J_dobler@msn.com
Yes, I just completed a quilt in which I added large butterfly blocks (using Edyta Sitar's Accuquilt go butterfly die). I used Edyta's method of raw edge fused on a few, and on others, I used lite fusible sewn to create seamed edges. I would love this giveaway package for my next baby quilt I need to make.
I sometimes do appliqué on baby quilts but have never tried the Aurifil thread. Guess it is time I do. Learn new things everyday!
I don't yet applique but it is something I am wanting to learn.
I have appliqued some vines with leaves. Now i'm trying to improve my hand skills,
I remember my first appliqué quilt was for my then two year old daughter who picked out the fabric she liked and the pattern. Although it took me a few years to finish it I enjoyed the hand appliqué work on it. Since that project I have done many appliqué projects from clothing to quilts. I have done quit a bit on my machine but I love the feel of needle and thread in my hand. Thanks for the opportunity to get this amazing giveaway
Applique is one of my favorite quilting techniques. I would love to try your new thread!
I've never tried appliqué but will be doing a baby quilt kit that has appliqué owls.
Thanks,
Peggy

I like to add applique elements to my quilts. Especially circles, they are so much easier to hand applique than piece. And this beautiful set would make it even more fun. Thanks
I have done several projects with fusible machine applique. Currently I am stitching a wall hanging with a hand button stitch.
I haven't tried appliqué as yet. A bit afraid to… However, I would like to try the bee appliqué featuring the yellow buttons from the button club!
I have used machine applique and hand applique in a couple of quilts. I don't have a lot of applique experience, but out of what I have done, I think I like hand applique better.
I have never appliqued, scares me. I have made one quilt and working on my second. I so machine embroider but have not done so on a quilt. Again, kind of scared to do that along with applique and paper piecing.
I have used applique in my quilting and in making clothing. I have used the fusible, raw edge, sewing to a interface slitting then turn (not sure what to call this technique) techniques but have not tried needle turned applique. Not big into hand stitching.

I hand applique. I'm not yet successful with the needle-turned method so usually either iron or baste the edges. Thanks for offering this giveaway.

I have not done much applique work. It always looks so daunting!
HI, yes I do use applique, years ago… I ussually fold my fabrics around a template, baste and iron. After having taken out the basting stitches, I pin the piece to the background and top stitch. No raw edges….
i'm still newbie….
I have done needle turn appliqué and machine appliqué but only on a wall hanging not a full sized quilt.
I love to appliqué when I quilt or on towels or whatever. It allows me to be more creative in what I do and it is so much fun.
I love to hand appliqué and usually have several projects going at once.
I've done applique on the border of one quilt. It was a wavy vine with a flower on each corner and diamond shaped leaves on the vine. I did hand applique which took a while to do, but I love the results.
I have been doing applique using the different techniques.
I love the look of applique but have never achieved the results I aim for. I haven't given up though, in fact I'm taking another class this weekend. Thank you for the fabulous giveaway.
I love to applique. I personalize most of the items I create and I find it adds that so much more love into a project! Once I started with my grandson, friends, family, and etc…I couldn't stop! The creativity just made me keep going! 🙂
I love the look of an appliquéd quilt but most of my quilts are pieced.
Thanks for a chance to win the giveaway.
I love to appliqué names on baby quilts. Thinking I need to branch out a little bit, would love to do a leaf wall hanging. Thanks for the chance to win!! Paula
I love to use appliqué it is so meditative and hours pass so quickly! Julie (tornado_alley@hotmail.com)
I don't do a lot of applique but I'm open to learning more.
I have hand appliqued for quite a while now but have just recently tried machine applique. It's a slow process so far as I learn to control the stitches on the inner and outer points. I'll keep trying to improve my machine technique but continue to do hand applique, also.
I have done two appliques and they were simple initials. I want to do more but have been kinda nervous too, guess I should do some practicing first,lol….
I have appliquéd several times – time consuming but so worth it in the end! Love your videos!
Applique is one of my favorite techniques. I especially love Jane Townswick's patterns. Thanks for the chance to win this awesome collection!
I am one of the guilty ones. There is something so scary about appliqué at least in my mind. I need to just jump in and give it a try.
I LOVE doing machine applique on my quilts and other projects like pillows. It allows me to add another piece of complementary fabric–adding interest and using up stash scraps!
I have not done applique yet, but I'd like to try it. I'm still a little new to sewing and so I'm still learning.
I have done appliqué. Not my favorite but the more I do the easier it seems to get and I like it a little better now
I love applique! I am doing the Lori Holt quilts Cozy Christmas and the Bloom Quilt. I like to have applique to work on while I am watching TV!
I have not done much appliqueing….just a little machine applique when a project had to have applique. I want to do more, but the hand and a nicer machine except a dense zigzag.
kelibott@yahoo.com please
Have not tried Appliqué yet but I love hand quilting so I am sure I would love it.
I enjoy appliqué, though I've done mostly piecing lately.
I hand applique all the time.
What a way to celebrate sewing month!
Well I took a class to learn applique techiques and I have done some small wall quilt projects, however, I need to do much more practice to gain the confidence that I would like using these techniques on a regular basisin my quilting and craft projects.
I have not tried it yet but will someday.
I have just bought an embroidery foot for my Elna and am itching to try meandering and applique with it. Turns out it's much harder than it looks at first try so your videos are a big help! Thank you! 🙂
I'm getting ready to try applique this week on a little scrappy bits kitty – super nervous!
Applique is my go to technique to add a special touch to many of
my projects. I prefer using my sewing machine to apply applique to
garments; however, hand applique is what I like to use for heirloom
garments and such.
I HAVEN'T STARTED APPLIQUEING…I LOOK BUT HAVE BEEN TOO AFRAID TO TRY YET
ERIN2470@HOTMAIL.COM
I use applique quite a lot. I have an orange peel top that needs quilting
I like doing Applique, normally by machine, would love to try the Aurifil 80wt for English Paper Piecing.
I do use appliqué, and I am happy to either hand stitch or machine stitch depending the project. Thank you for an amazing giveaway. x
I have never used Aurifil threads so this would be a way to see what all the love is about. I applique when I need to. Not my favorite quilt technique. ????
Have a detailed project I would like to tackle as my 1st applique quilt. It will be my 1st try outside of in class projects.
I'm not really familiar with applique. But would like to give it a try. I wiil some day, and this nice Awesome Applique Prize Packs sounds like a good start!
I really love to applique by hand or machine and am always looking for new techniques and tools to help me!
I'm new to applique and I haven't use them in my sewing. Thanks for the chance to win.
No, not currently, I only used applique on my quilts so far and I am not working on a quilt recently. Instead, I am working on curtains recently and planning to work on doll clothes soon.
I use Applique a lot, mostly for baby gifts and quilts ????
Thank you for the chance to win.
I am quite new to quilting, but have just finished my 1st applique project – a dresden plate pillow, I am thrilled with how it turned out.
I hand stitched the dresden to the backing cloth, and then machine quilted 🙂

I love the look of applique and have saved some patterns. Next step is to start doing them!
I'm currently doing a quilt with needleturn appliqué. I'm. Not the worlds best but I'm certainly learning as I go along and I can see my progress. Certainly not practice makes perfect but definitely practice makes better!
I've done applique shapes on baby onesies for Shower gifts! I would love to start incorporating the technique into my quilting 🙂
Yes, I do use applique in my quilting projects especially baby quilts and holiday wallhangings.
I have done applique, but I am not happy with my skill level. I hate to put $$ into a project and then be disappointed with the result. Thanks for the chance to win.
I L O V E applique and have done various methods. I've just begun Lori Holt's method using
her Christmas template….so far I am enjoying this method.
I have done both hand and machine applique, but prefer hand at the moment. I love watching your videos and learn so much from you all. Thank you.
Usually shy away from applique but find it isn't so difficult when I do a block or two. Have one project waiting: an applique border for a twin-sized quilt. Really need to get working on this oe.
Yes, I always have a hand applique quilt in the works, usually dresdens. Especially during football & basketball season – for timeouts & halftime. Great giveaway.
I gave completed both machine and hand applique love both depends on the project to which I do ��
Haven't done applique yet but would like to learn. It is beautiful!
I did a little applique on a sampler quilt and would love to win this to perfect my skills!
I love machine appliqué and the uniqueness it can give to a quilt! I haven't done a lot of it but plan on doing much more. Thank you for the info!
I have always loved the portability of an applique project and have many in the works. Have yet to try machine applique. Your video is great and I'm sure will inspire many of us to give it a try. I do mix applique with piecing but prefer to keep them as their own special project. Thank you for sharing.
I have made several appliqued baby quilts and wall hangings using my machine applique stitches.
I love doing applique on my quilts and I've donc both machine and hand applique.
I have used applique in the past. I have a few ideas where I will use it again.
Thanks so much for a great giveaway!! I do fusible appliqué, Would love to learn hand appliqué, The instructions are a great motivation!!
I have tried it… Not very good at it yet unfortunately
I've appliqued a few items by hand. It's new to me and a process I really enjoy.
I have not master this yet….still trying. Thank you for the chance.
I have done some hand appliqué and machine but a project that requires more of your time, I have not for quite a while.
I have done some hand appliqué and machine but a long term project I have not for quite a while.
I have done quite a bit of machine applique but little hand applique. Both techniques have lovely results. I love the way applique looks!
Appliqué is a quilting art that I hope to master. I am going to be part of an Appliqué retreat next month. These awesome items will help me to be more successful at the retreat.
I love applique and depending on the use, I either machine quilt (i.e., baby quilts) or hand turn (i.e., wall hangings) right now, I'm working on Lori Holt's "Christmas Cozy" and stitching by hand!
Thank for such an awesome giveaway! ❤❤
Great videos! I do use appliqué on my quilts. Mostly fusible, but would love to learn needle turn at some point. It seems to add a little something extra to your projects.
I'm working on my first bed sized appliqué quilt. It's fun and I'm improving along the way. I really need those Polka dots. Using needle turn.
I machine applique on my quilts. My old hands make it harder to do hand work.
Applique helps be broaden my work on making quilt projects. It' is loads of fun placing the fabric pieces in a design that could not have been pieced. I also enjoy the different color threads and trying out decorative stitching for added design elements in the quilt.
Oh, you bet I do applique! I love needle turn but also use an interfaced technique and am doing a fusible, too. Currently I have 5 different applique projects started/in progress, lol!
Love applique. Alway a decision as to weather to sew by machine or by habd????
I love to hand applique but have started to do some machine appliquq.
Thanks for the videos and for the chance to win some cool stuff!
I do not applique if at all possible! It is a beautiful technique but not my cup of tea.
Splendid sampler has renewed my interest in applique. Love the little projects to increase my skill. So hand applique for portable, machine when durability needed! Aurafil gives me so many choices.

I often use appliqué on baby gift projects. Many years ago I began a hand appliqué Christmas quilt, still working on it. Thanks for the opportunity to win something!
I LOVE hand applique. It is such a "go" friendly way to have quilting with me all the time. I am looking forward to the first of October for a vacation. Two days travel on a tour bus to and from destination and a great way to get many little basket blocks done. I will be able to assemble a baby quilt when I get home. I would really enjoy this prize.
I have started using applique in my sewing and quilting, although I am still a beginner at it. I have noticed though, quickly I might add, that I need to use Arifil thread. I have tried and tried other thread, but you really need a good quality thread. I am so excited to be learning this new technique.
I do machine applique. Want to try doing it by hand.
I've done a little hand applique, and have started to learn machine applique. Sew many projects, so little time.
I find hand appliqué work very soothing. I try not to be a perfectionist, or choose patterns where I need to be, so the hand work isn't crazily taxing. Plus it's quiet – and that helps quiet me.
I started doing machine applique this past year on several burp cloths and mug rugs. I used several children's designs and I fell in love with it, plus I get to use my scraps instead of throwing them away.

I love appliqué, both by hand and machine. Thanks for the great videos and giveaway!
I have been doing applique for many years. Learned hand applique for my sister's baby clothes; she is 13 years younger than me. Good practice my children's clothes which evolved from hand to machine applique. Just recently did machine applique on a large quilt that was exhibited in a local quilt show.
I would love to win these threads to embroidery with! I love the Fat Quarter Shop, and the work of Edyta Sitar.It is very difficult for me to get things I need, just to work on the Splendid Sampler… Among some of my projects. I love applique & embroidery to embellish a quilt! Thanks for this chance in the give-away!
I have done machine applique, but my true love is hand applique. Would love to win this fantastic offer. Thanks for the chance.
Lynne
I am currently doing a machine applique quilt. Also have a hand applique project in the works. Would love the thread. It was a challenge finding matching threads I already had to do these projects!
I do fusible machine applique. Both with satin-stitching and with button-hole stitching.
I am working on my first appliqué project right now… A fall pumpkin pillow. This set is beautiful. I love the blog and all the videos.
I enjoy doing both hand and machine applique.
I'm really new to quilting – a friend dragged me along on a quilting retreat where the teacher taught quilting skills, including appliqué and I caught the quilting bug! I made a Christmas table pad with a poinsettia-like appliqué and it was surprisingly easy and fun to do. I look forward to doing more in future, once I master getting my corners lined up in my blocks! 🙂
I do a lot of hand work, but have never tried appliqué. Its been on my to do list and your wonderful video certainly helps!
I do use applique in my quilting. Recently finished the top of a quilt for a little girl – hexagon flowers that were all hand appliqued on.
I love adding applique to my quilts. I use the sewing machine and use the blanket stitch. I've tried the hand turn stitch and it's so lovely, but I'm not very good at it. I would love to learn more, so thank you for the tutorials.
I have done some machine applique and some hand A….. handles on tiny pieced basket blocks which are not all finished. Your blog may inspire me to finish this WIP of mine:) I know it will be adorable!
I have appliqued some, but it has been a number of years. As I got busy at work I moved to quicker quilting techniques. I recently retired and am thinking about trying some appliqué again.
My applique experience is limited to embellishing kids clothes…but i love the results!
I have tried both machine and hand applique and really enjoy the machine applique. I would love to have a chance to win this amazing giveaway!
I've done a little applique in a couple of table runners. Once I got myself psyched that "I could do it" and just jumped in, it wasn't so bad! Thanks so much for the chance to win this fabulous prize 🙂

I do not applique as much as I should as my hand sewing is not all that good and my machine appliqueing needs improvement–have several layouts to complete the applique
I do a little appliqué by hand & a little by machine. I love the look & should force myself to do more of it. Would love to win this collection.
I am just starting to learn some appliqué. Finding it tricky but loved your videos. Thanks
I am new to quilting, so I don't currently use appliqué. Hopefully, someday, I will be brave enough to try. 🙂
I do use applique in my quilting projects. For years I stayed away from patterns that included applique but I now feel more comfortable with my skill level. My needle turn stills needs more practice.
Thanks for the lessons! I am starting applique glamping pillows designed by our local quilt shop for the Minnesota shop hop. So, your timing is perfect!
Long time ago I appliqued tea towels. I have the pumpkin and bat table runner to put together that requires a little applique and want to sew it soon. I have a new Janome sewing machine and need a little practice first.
I haven't done applique in awhile mostly because I've been concentrating on my own free-form designs. I prefer fusible applique and would like to see more applications of free-form applique vs. the typical cut out patterns. Thanks for the tutorials. sjvonfumetti at yahoo dot com
Yes, I love doing applique! It makes such a pretty addition to traditional piecing.
I love needle turn and raw edge appliqué..BUT,I have not mastered either one.This sewing kit is the perfect way to keep everything together.I am looking for a tray to use with my own notions…How wonderful to receive this great give-away!!…
I just started quilting and love applique. It is a blast. Thanks for the opportunity to win
Just started doing applique, love it so far!
I love doing applique. I would at times rather do applique than piecing a quilt. I have done both by hand and machine. I prefermachine though. Thanks Robin Armstead.
I have an applique project sitting on the shelf – an abandoned WIP if you will. I want to finish it, but I'm to the point of actually appliqueing the pieces down, and I hesitate to actually work on it. I need to get it out, start these videos up, and get after it!
I just appliqued a circle to my lemon pie block this morning. I didn't think it was that bad only more time consuming. There is something special and comforting in a little hand sewing on each project.
I have done machine applique on smaller projects, but haven't used it in a big quilt yet. I love the design possibilities applique allows!
I like to do machine applique. Fantastic giveaway.
I do applique – both machine and by hand. It's a relaxing technique for me.
I just finished a huge applique project. I used a machine applique technique but I'd like to explore some hand applique. Thanks for the chance to win!
The first quilt I ever made was applique. That was about 35 years ago. I haven't done any applique since! But lately I've been thinking about it.
Yes, I love adding appliqué to pieced quilts. Not a fan of needle turn but love the fusible and sew in interfacing techniques, and sometimes I machine appliqué and quilt at the same time!
Yes, I am doing more and more applique, thanks to the learning on the Splendid Sampler quilt along. Both machine and hand applique. The one I just can't get is the needle turn. I love the look of it but I have had much difficulty doing it. My favorite go to is the blanket stitch. thanks for the video how-tos!
I went to a retreat with Jill Finley. Her applique quilts are amazing. I do more piece quilting but use her methods when hand appliquing. I also like to use the fusable applique method. Enjoyed doing some Row by Rows! Thank you for reviewing everything.
I used to hate appliqué until I learned the freezer paper and spray starch method, and now I love it. I use the small clover iron (which saves a lot of burnt fingers). I'm presently working on two appliqué projects.
Applique is one of the techniques I haven't tried yet, but always have meant to do at least once.
My absolute favorite type of quilts!
I am just now learning to quilt but eventually I would like to learn to applique.
gandn74@ymail.com
I love applique! I'm currently appliqueing some Splendid Sampler Blocks and just finished making the Bloom quilt by Lori Holt. I use many different applique methods depending on the project.
I have dabbled in both machine and hand appliqué. There is much to learn about it, and I am enjoying the journey to some day having a beautiful quilt to show. Thank you for a chance to win a generous gift.
My new sewing machine will be here in two weeks and I can't wait to experiment with applique on it!
Oh, I absolutely DO appliqué, both hand and machine! I love applique, and next year, I'm devoting most of my energy to it. I'm calling it the year of applique, and this prize would be SO helpful! Besides, I can't resist tins of any size, collect them like crazy. Thanks for the chance to win this set. dezertsuz at gmail
I love appliqué! I'm working on some pillows for Christmas using hand appliqué.
I do appliqué but generally with Heat 'n Bond light and a hand blanket stitch…thank you!
Applique is really fun! I love trying new techniques. Love fusible and hand turn.
I have applique on my list of techniques to learn!!! I already know what I'm starting with, an orange peel quilt 🙂
I love applique and love your videos..thank you
I love machine applique and I want to tackle hand applique next. I think it's a beautiful form of quilting.
I use the needle turn method or iron freezer paper to wrong side having the seam allowance not covered by the paper..
Hardest part some times is having the right color thread for the fabric.
Your giveaway would sure makes this more fun and lots easier!
Yes I do applique, and my favorite technique is sewing the edges on the machine with satin stitch. Thanks!
Please click on the delaineelliott above for my email link.
All my favorite colors. Thanks for offering this contest. B Fowler
That is a wonderful gift. I'm starting to do a little A, but need to hone my skills and get more brave doing it.
I enjoy doing appliqué both by machine and by hand. My current quilt has a lot of simple appliqué pieces that I sewed on by hand. I am hoping to get some other handwork appliqué blocks ready to go, as I enjoy doing it while waiting in medical offices.
I have yet to try but am really eager to!
I want to try but I'm too chicken! Maybe this will be the boost I need!!
I do machine embroidery applique. I love they way it looks. I want to learn traditional appliqué.Thank you for the giveaway!
I have been appliquéing for 20 years, mostly turned edge appliqué but also do some machine appliqué because i have so many projects I want to do I can't do them all by hand. Love the new appliqué thread by Aurifil, my favorite thread for everything!
I want to learn how but haven't started yet although I have started gathering items that I'll need after watching a few videos.
Jeri Oldtisme@aol.com
I love using appliqué in my quilts. I have made baby quilts with hand and machine appliqué, and a king size with hand appliqué. But I still need to improve my stitching.
I have tried machine applique. I have also taken classes on needle turn applique. Now I am trying back basting applique with the new Aurifil 80 wt. applique thread that I purchased at FAT QUARTER SHOP and it is WONDERFUL! It disappears in the fabric like butter! Thanks for the wonderful give away!
I have done applique here and there for a project I truly, truly love. But it's not my favorite thing to do.
I have used both machine and hand applique in my quilting. I prefer the look of hand applique!
I love machine appliqué
I worked on 2 different appliqué projects recently. It's getting easier with each project.
Love all the definition appliqué adds to quilts, brings everything to life.

I really do like to applique. I love to embellish dish towels for friends and the holidays with applique. I have taken a class to improve my craft at our local quilt shop and made a sweet holiday banner. Making table runners and using applique is always fun. Mostly I do machine applique, but will gladly watch these videos and learn some new methods. Thank you for the teachings! Keep inspiring us Jolly Jabber!
Smiles, Susie

I have done both machine and hand applique in quilt projects. I enjoy being creative with the use of applique.
I just started working on Edyta Sitar's Seasonal Silhouettes. I love the way it's turning out! Thanks for the chance ~ fingers crossed!!
I'm really enjoying the hand appliqué in Lori Holt's Bloom quilt. I'm looking for more projects to practice my technique.
I LOVE doing hand needle turn applique- but I am VERY slow and not very good- I need more practice- and thread!!
For sure I use applique in my projects! It adds so much to the quilt and is fun to do to wind down in the evenings. Thanks for the tips.
I have only used applique here and there to embellish quilts. I would like to do some smaller projects using this technique but not a whole quilt : ) I love to see other people's beautiful applique projects though!
I have Applique on my to learn list for quilting. What a wonderful chance to get started!
Applique adds so much to a project, I do both machine and hand applique. Currently finishing an old project right now!! Would just like to get tips on appliqueing small pieces.

I do a lot of hand appliqué and use Aurifil thread; would love to try the new weight thread.
Wendy in NH
It's handy to have these applique videos all in one place, I plan to forward the post to my sister in law who is working on her first applique quilt. I'd like to see a tutorial on the backbasting technique as well. I'm working on a fusible applique basket quilt…I have 300 baskets to stitch down!
Wendy ( WCoffin7@aol.com)
I am doing some applique on a block of the month quilt and enjoying it
Yes, I have used applique in my projects and I love it! The choices of shapes, fabrics and thread is unlimited and it is just so much fun!
I love how it looks and my older sister is teaching me. I have not used it my quilts yet
I have only attempted a person's name on a quilt–cut out with Accuquilt cutter, then machine appliqued. Turned out okay, but I know I need lots of work to become better. I also want very much to learn hand applique, that is high list of to-dos. poladydwd(at)yahoo(dot)com
I'm working on the Hometown Charm quilt by Pat Sloan ant it has the most appliqué I've ever had to do. I watched-rewatched your video with Joanna Figueroa to learn how to do it!
I haven't tried appliqué yet, but have a couple of patterns
I'm a new quilter and recognize any applique on a quilt is a show stopper.
Thank you for encouraging your readers with great instructions!

This would be a great addition to my quilting tools.
I have never tried applique but when I take the plunge I will come back to your you tube instructions, I am sure they will be as wonderful as all your other instructions. Thanks for all you do for quilters.

I think appliqué adds so much to a quilt and I love doing appliqué!
I do appliqué, not in quilts but in pouches, cushions, and small projects. Thanks
I love needle-turn and machine applique. Of course, machine applique is quicker, but I love the feeling of stitching by hand to make something look so lifelikke. Love the new 80 wt Aurifil for this.
I have not used hand applique yet but have done some machine applique. I love these techniques and will use them in the near future. Love love love FQS!!!

I've just started using embroidery. My sweet husband just bought me a machine. I've never had such fun
I love to hand appliqué. I just don't enjoy the prep work!
I enjoy doing applique especially by hand by the prep takes longer and longer to finish a project. I find hand sewing ver4y relaxing.
Ha, I had a long conversation with my mom yesterday about the merits of all the different applique techniques I've learned over the years. So yes, I applique! Hand applique is my favorite.
I have attempted applique a total of two times. The first time was a disaster. The second time much better. I am going to be starting my third project using applique very soon and am hoping to improve even more.
I do most of my machine applique on clothes for my little nieces and nephews
I would love to try some hand applique. Needle turned or with freezer paper and iron.
I love raw edge applique. Have always just used black. May need to branch out with color
tracinecharest at Gmail dot com
I have done one project using hand appliqué. It was a baby quilt with an appliquéd giraffe on it.
Oh, my! I love hand applique! It's my way of taking a mini-vacation.
Thank you for this opportunity. It would be magnificent to win!
Forever stitching…pj stitches!
I have not tried using any appliques yet. I am new to quilting and am a little afraid to try it right now. Maybe after I've built up my skills!
I using applique on the Stonesfield quilt and also Dear Jane.
I have done some hand applique but like to do machine applique more, making small projects. I don't use applique on my quilts.
Yes I use applique. Love needle turn and have started to use the starch method.
I LOVE applique. Right now I am doing machine appliqué, so this video was very informative., especially where it said to reduce my tension to 0. I didn't do that. Thanks!
Just finished an applique quilt which took almost two years to complete.
I took a class and realize I need lots of practice!! Lol
I love hand applique, machine applique, wool applique or all kinds. Thank you for this great giveaway and for the heads up to the You Tube videos.
Have a super great day!!
I am starting…. in the learning stage
I am starting…. in the learning stage
I do machine appliqué. I learned to hand appliqué 35 years ago but need a refresher!
I've never done applique. It's next on the list!
Would love this
I have done some machine applique, no big projects yet. Larger projects are on my to do list.
I sometimes/rarely use applique. When I do it's either for orange peels or on bags. Thanks!
As if we need an incentive to applique — but you created one anyway!
I did take one class in applique however I could have taken more to further master my skills which are definitely lacking in this department!
I am doing applique on the border of a king-sized whole cloth quilt. I have named it "What was I thinking?" LOL
Have not tried applique…yet. Want to though!
I have done some hand applique…am very slow at it, so haven't done much since. :/ Have done some raw edge applique on machine, that was fun! Working on doing some applique with fusibles now..on small things so far. Lots easier process! lol
thank you for chance to win this AWESOME Give-a-way! 😀
I am learning to appliqué and loving the videos you have shared. I have one project currently going for a quilt as you go blanket for my grandson but soon want to try out the butterfly project by Edyta Sitar, I am in love with all her fabrics and patterns!
I currently do machine appliqué but would love to use this set to learn hand appliqué.
Love hand and machine appliqué projects. The thread can make the difference.
I have to admit that I have been a bit fearful of appliqué , but need to learn to do it to finish a quilt project… no time like the present!
I love all forms of handwork, especially applique. Thanks for posting such a great prize.
I do add applique when the quilt pattern lists it or when I feel a sewing project could you a bit of pizzazz! Flowers were added to a tote and I've received several compliments. Thank you for the video of the various methods useful for applique.
I like to applique words or names on some of my quilts, especially those made as gifts. I use the fusible method with the button-hole stitch by hand.
I use machine applique in my quilting and love it!
Haven't tried appliqué yet but would love to give it a whirl!
I have tried applique a couple of times, and was disappointed with my work. I didn't realize thread and needles could make a difference. Thank you for the chance to win.
This will be a new technique for me. I would love to try it.
I have not tried the Applique technique but would love to try. I do applique on my embroidery machine, but not by hand or sewing machine.
I do use appliqué in my quilting. I have been wanting to try the new 80 wt thread from Aurifil. Would love to win this. Thanks for the chance.
hi!!! I've always been too scared to try appliqué. I'm still new to quilting and sewing but after watching the tutorials and with the tools above I have the confidence to jump in with both feet. thank you Kimberly Jolly for inspiring quilters of all ages!!
What an awesome giveaway! I have never tried applique…this would be a fun way to start 😉
Anything bright and modern makes me happy. I love the fresh clean look.
Oh yeah, I'm an applique nut!
I am working on my first applique project – one of those felt Christmas stocking kits. It's a family tradition that my Grandma began for her grandkids, and I plan to carry on the tradition by making stockings for all of our spouses and children.
Thanks to your u-tube videos I have learned alot about hand applique and love it! I have done several small projects working my way up to a quilt. Thanks again
I enjoy applique and truly all things needing a needle. current project I'm working on are a hand appliqued wool candle runner, a machine appliques wall hanging and a couted cross stitch piece and would you believe am thinking of starting another knitted dish rag too!
Wonderful giveaway, you are so generous and many blessings are wished your way. Happy Fall!
I have used applique on many quilts. The freezer paper method is the one that I prefer as it gives me more control. For a whimsical look I use the sewing machine buttonhole stitch and varigated thread. Finer thread like the 80 wt glides through the fabric like a dream, so this giveaway would be a welcome addition to my applique tool box.

I have used applique on many quilts, usually combined with piecing. I prefer the freezer paper method because I feel that it gives me more control. I applique with a sewimg machine using the blanket stitch and varigated thread or hand stitch. The 80 wt thread works very well and would be a welcome addition to my tool bag.
I am just getting into applique, since it was taught in a class at my guild. Would love to win the give-away!
I've started a couple of Dresden plate designs but haven't finished yet. Hoping to do a quilt really soon.
I try not to applique as I am not good at it. Probably would get better with practice…
I've done some applique but I'm looking forward to more projects.
I have learned alot about hand applique from your u-tube videos I'm loving it. I have been working on smaller projects working my way up to a quilt!
I've dabbled in applique, but my experience with it is fairly limited.
I do machine embroidery applique, regular raw edge applique and needle turn applique. Love it all…would love to try the Aurifil 80wt.
I find myself doing more applique then ever. It's not so frightening as I thought it was.
Hi, I love to do Machine Appliqué. I do a lot of Lori Holts quilts so that is when I started to do appliqué. The more I do it the more I love it.????
I do a lot of applique. I enjoy hand applique for portable projects but do machine applique for items that will take a lot of washing-like baby quilts and hand towels.
I like to machine stitch applique
I have appliqued some wool table mats but appliqued quilts are still on my to-do list!
I have used machine applique in quilts. I love the touch of fun and whimsy ti adds to quilts.
I love doing machine applique. I recently made a quilt for my granddaughter using this technique. It is so much fun!! I recommend it:)
I do use a little appliqué in my quilts, I would love to become more confident with y appliqué skills.
Joanne
I love applique. I do mostly machine applique because of time issues but I love hand applique and the way it looks
Carla Hartmann
I have made a number of appliquéd quilts, first by hand, but more often by machine in the last few years. I seem to be drawn to quilts with appliquéd borders, and I've been collecting just the right fabrics for the pattern I'm going to try next. Would love to win these threads to try! Thanks for the opportunity. Candy
I've never done this technique before. Very excited to learn.
My very first quilted project way back about 1976 was an appliquéd alphabet play mat for my son. I used fusible web, and machine stitched with zig zag on the edges. It was not a thing of beauty! All primary colors in calico style fabric. I designed the block letters using large cardboard stencils. Yikes! The quilt police would have written a major citation….
I have yet to try hand applique, but I did machine applique the flower on the "Hope Blooms" quilt that I made from the kit I got from the FQS!!
My sister taught me to appliqué when I was a teenager but I haven't done anything lately. This has inspired me give it a try again
I am glad I found this blog, I hope to watch more of these videos to learn more about applique
Tomorrow I'll be attending a quilt class and its all about applique! We're doing a sunflower table runner. It's really my second adventure with applique but I'm really excited about it! Thank you!
I have done a little bit of appliqué. It is so pretty.
I hardly do appliqué when sewing and quilting, and if any it's machine appliqué. I've tried needle-turn appliqué once, but I couldn't get the hang of it. Probably I'm in need of instruction… 😉
Thanks for the chance!
I enjoy needle turn appliqué and all manner of hand work, but I also like to learn new appliqué methods and techniques. Thank you for this giveaway opportunity. Jan T. from Ohio
I love this method of applique and just bought Jill's book. It adds so much to a quilt. The starch method is the easiest for both machine and hand stitching!…arden
Beginning to love applique and trying several techniques to wee which one works for me.
I have tried all techniques of applique and I find it is very therapeutic. I use coloring books for my patterns. I love patchwork with applique with hand embroidery. I am happiest with needle and thread.
I enjoy hand appliqué and love the starch method for turning under the edges????
I have made quilts using appliques. My last quilt had a fun sheep right in the middle. So fun. I want make a similar quilt. Happy sewing.

I love hand appliqué in my quilts,and in my gifts for Christmas.Thank you for the gift!!!
Yes, I do applique and love it. I've done the freezer paper method, the needle turn method, and have discovered that I LOVE the Jillily applique glue!! No pins sticking out to catch threads on!! thanks for the chance to win some new applique things to try out!!
I have done appliqué on some quilts. It's spectacular! I love a chance to relaxr, sit down, get calm and have a beautiful embellished project. The "bad rap" must go away!
I have done some appliqué in small quilts and wall hangings. Thanks for the fun giveaway!
Love appliqué, love the definition and depth it adds to a quilt.
Sure would love that prize. I would put it to good use for sure!!!
I have tried applique work a couple of times, and have not had great success. But we all learn both with success and failure. Both methods and tools have evolved quite a bit since my failure, so maybe it's time to try for success, again.
Yep….use applique but these videos have great content and tips.
I've done a lot of applique, especially since your videos with Jill Finley were first made available. Anything seems possible with applique!
I am brand new to quilting, I have made one so far, but I look forward to learning to applique also. Thank you for your video tutorials.
I bought all the materials, but have not tried it yet. I am hoping to as things slow down and the weather cools!
I do appliqué. I'm currently making an Amy Butler appliquéd quilt with adorable dogs for my granddaughter for Christmas. For the first time, I am using raw edge appliqué and I'm having so much fun! Rcoyle at olemiss dot edu.
I've done a tiny bit of applique to go along with my tiny bit of quilting! I'm just trying to find more time to do more of both. (-:
I use a little appliqué but need more practice.
I've done some on a few quilts, not my favorite thing, but I keep buying patterns that have it. So there's a lot of practice in my future!
Fusible/machine applique is all I've dared. But I'd like to do some hand appliqué has always seemed so scary. Maybe a class is what's needed …
Learning to Appliqué. Need to keep my stuff organized!!!
Literally just added applique to my first project, a zip pouch…..oh my gosh it was so easy and why have I been dragging my feet to do so! Thank you.

I've recently started doing needle turned applique and quite love it.
I was intrigued by appliqué, but scared to try it. The local quilt shop had a BOM quilt that I had been admiring so I decided to sign up. That's what got me hooked. I use mostly machine appliqué because it's faster, but have done hand appliqué on smaller projects. I added some appliqué to my daughter' tee shirt quilt.
I am new this year to both quilting and appliquing! It all started with Lori Holt's Bloom quilt. I machine appliqued the Bloom quilt but now am trying hand applique on the Cozy Christmas quilt. I love the hand applique!!
I like applique with embrodery,by hand.I want to try this beautiful Aurifil 80,so cute!
I have done appliques by hand and machine, for me it depends on the size of the applique pieces and the effect I am trying to accomplish as to which technique I use. The tutorials really do help improve my stitching…thanks!
Yes, I do add applique to my sewing and quilting projects, but it's mostly by machine. I find I'm most drawn to this form of applique – I think in part because it takes less time to finish than if I was doing hand applique. Plus, machine applique allows me to play with more thread colours as I love to satin stitch most of my appliques.
I love appliques for kids and holiday sewing. I think it adds to a project. I prefer to machine applique for quick work. But hand applique is relaxing for me. I like Jill Finley's method, too.
I still would like to learn appliqué. I know the basics but haven't made a project yet. Thanks
Ksmith8@emich.edu
I love to applique but have yet to do it on a quilt. Thank you for these informative videos. I'm looking forward to trying it out.
I appliqued once in HS but LOVE the "fussy cut" look for todays applique. Thank you ALL for the opportunity to win some great items!!
I've done a little applique in the past, but not in quilting, this is some ting I still have to explore
