NanaSuz OFFLINE Posts: 20 Thank you received: 34	I am having such fun seeing the posts on this site. I'm not too good at applique, except using raw edge and fusible. I'm also still staying away from stores with this virus. It's been an experience!! We are helping one another get through this year and I am so thankful for Alex and her helpers.

Barbara1259 OFFLINE Posts: 16 Thank you received: 81	Hi, Well this is my layout....I may blanket stitch it by hand...I’m afraid the appliqué will move around to much if I do by machine....next time I will do raw edge...easier to apply and stick. But I had to challenge myself to try something different. Attachment B3FD8AF2-50D9-4A5E-96EC-D65600B5A517.jpeg not found

One way to get that uncooperative pieced square onto a birdhouse is to reverse applique it!

Another way is what I like to use - cut the seam allowance of the star at 1/2 inch. I cut a light cardboard square the selected size, lightly glue stick it to the back of the pieced star and turn the seam allowance against the square (trim after turning). I glue stick my corners and then continue with the straight edges. When all is dry I use starch on the piece; when that dries, I peel the center square out. This works well for me because the glue stick AND the cardboard square are water solvable.

MommyG1 OFFLINE Posts: 10 Thank you received: 64	I took my quilt down off the design wall tol sew on the bottom border. When I was done, I found out the yellow bird had flown the coop, nowhere to be found. Then, a piece fell to the floor. It had been stuck to the back of my sleeve! I have now ironed all the birdhouses and birds in place.
