one on Amazon.com and it has good reviews, but I cannot find any information on the actual techniques it teaches other than that it covers both machine and hand applique.
I have a specific project in mind and think the starch method might work. I made a quilt using the starch method a few years ago but the pieces were large and simple; the new project is more complicated. My only other foray into applique was Shasta Daisy, made in 2009, using machine button-hole stitch.
If you have any advice, please do leave a comment!
Hi There,
ReplyDeleteBefore you purchase it on Amazon, check out Connecting Threads. They have great prices on books!

I really enjoy doing hand applique. Doing it the Piece of Cake way (like the DVD you're referring to) is a great way.
ReplyDeleteCheck out Wendy's blog http://snippetsofaquilter.blogspot.com she has a great freezer paper tutorial on her sidebar.
I like this DVD, but I don't really do all of the extra's like the overlay and marking, but have you seen Karen Kay Buckley's DVD? It's really good too. Here's a link http://www.karenkaybuckley.com/store.php?cat=1
ReplyDeleteI have this DVD and really like it. It teaches the needleturn method. I also have the Karen Kay Buckley DVD, which teaches the starch method. Both are good and have excellent instruction; it just depends on which method you'd prefer to learn. (I think needleturn is quicker for most shapes.)
