When appliquéing small pieces, make an overlay
from Glad Press N' Seal as a placement guide - it is easily maneuvered and
allows easy placement. - Sharon in Montreal
I like to blanket stitch with my machine around my
appliqués, but hate to stop and start all the time. To avoid this I have
found that I can blanket stitch around one piece, stop and lift
the needle, change to a straight stitch and proceed around the edge until
I have reached the next point where I again lift the needle and change back
to the blanket stitch. It does not hurt anything to have those extra
stitches, but it does eliminate all those threads that have to be tucked in
on the back. - Sandy in Idaho
When doing reverse applique, I find it very
helpful to lightly spray with sizing then iron before you start cutting and
turning your fabric." - Melody in California
