BarbiThe reason I use a small iron is for the freezer paper and startch preparation in applique. By pressing the edges of your applique, you have a more defined edge. At least I do.SandraContinue

Comment by Sunshine/Mi on August 20, 2011 at 7:27am: Sue... if you're going to do applique', I'd suggest that you use machine satin stitch; it's what I use on all the baby quilts I make.

Comment by Sue Webb on August 20, 2011 at 6:59am: My son's girlfriend is going to be a grandmother making me a great grandmother. He showed me an applique pattern that he loves that I will be making for the baby. As of now I've only done needle turn applique. What would be best for a baby quilt that I hope will be used.

Thanks,

Sue

Comment by Cora Whitlock on August 11, 2011 at 6:28am: I went to quilterscache.com and found a Sun Bonnet Sue Pattern. I think this is a nice pattern for back baste applique.

Comment by Suzanne L/WA on August 10, 2011 at 11:56am: I showed my quilting group the applique that I've begun (it's my first project) and they had never seen the back-basting method before either. I was having a few problems with how to work my hands and making tight inside corners and they really helped with tips. One thing I definitely found out that helped is finger pressing the edge as you undo the basting thread (and some material really doesn't cooperate). I also tried the suggestion that someone said about using a chalk line an top of the basting stitch and that was very helpful. I will continue that, but with a better pencil I think. Just thought I'd let you know tips I discovered yesterday. :-)
