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!
