This form of applique allows you to showcase work and the threads. Also Valerie shares some tips.
Description
Machine applique is really very easy and a particular favourite with Valerie. Every sewing machine has a zig-zag stitch on it, no matter how old it is, and Valerie gives some helpful advice on how to use this to achieve a great satin stitch.
Here are some of the things Valerie talks about:
- type of thread
- the colour of the thread
- thread tension
- bobbin thread
- fabric stabilizers
- why an applique foot is essential
There are some great patterns and kits throughout the website.
