I iron the freezer paper pattern onto the *right* side of the fabric. I cut out the fabric, adding seam allowances, then turn the pieces over and use the paper edges as a guide for turning and gluing the seam allowance to the back. This is at least as easy as turning & gluing (or starching) the edge over onto a freezer paper pattern on back of fabric, and doesn't require that fiddle-y removal of the freezer paper at the end. Rosa Rojas' applique sticks work fine with this method.

You should see what Close Captions writes - not always same as what you are saying - like 80 weight thread comes out "a tea weight" or 8080....etc.

Hi Anne - Initially mine is a little stiffer (which I like) but then breaks down the same. Rosa tried it and said it was A OK!
Thanks for the question -

How does the Quilter's Select product compare to the Appliquick product that goes inside the applique shape?

The issue with the cap and the glue stick, it takes two hands and interrupts your work. MDH sat and watched for a minute and went out into the shop and created a glue holder out of wood. FANTASTIC! Just one hand is needed to slide the glue stick in and out of the cap. It works very well. The glue stays moist. Thank you for a great show.

Kathy - When working on a large project I try to applique the quilt in sections before the blocks are sewn together. Where is becomes cumbersome is when I am working on the border corners. I did not show it because I haven't figured out the camera work for that.
