How to do Almost Invisible Applique by Machine - Quilting Tips & Techniques 058 

WOW - I have always had trouble with applique that I just don't do it. I just throw my hands up and say, "Forget it." I was half way through your video, hit pause, turned on my sewing machine, :) and I have that stitch !!! I did it. I did it. I did it. Now to calm down and watch the last half of your video.

Watching from India 9 years after the video was uploaded!! As you rightly said, this opens up so many possibilities..... thank you so much for your clear instructions...

So glad you've done this video. I seem to be allergic (ha, ha) to needle and thread but like the idea of applique. This is the answer. Thanks.

I have watched a number of appliqué videos and this was the best - it was clear and taught me how broad I can be in the appliqué process. Thank you so much!

I appreciate your teaching. You don't waste time. You are clear and your camera work is good. I like your re-cap at the end, too. Well done and helpful. Thank you.

I really enjoyed this lesson and wish i could record these lessons for future use. You can use a used fabric softener sheet as a backing for your applique and you wont have to spend any additional money on soft backing. it works well.

My thanks to your camera person for actually zooming in on the pieces of the project

I always know if I need a how to, I come to The Gourmet Quilter. You always have the best techniques and I am successful because you are a stellar teacher! Thank you a million times for all you do for the sewing community! You are well respected,

You are a gem to listen to! You make your tutorials so easy to understand and follow along. Thank you for your wonderful tutorials! ❤️❤️❤️

I found this video to be the very help I needed to understand applique. I usually use an iron on method that I then sew. This sewn applique gives more of a 3d look. I can't wait to try. Very clear instructions. Thank you.

That is the best video I have ever watched. Thank you for sharing from Scotland uk

There are some excellent tips in this video. Really useful. 👍🏻Thank you, Gourmet Quilter!

Applique to me has been a bit scary until I watched this tutorial. Not only did you greatly simplify the process but you explained it very well. Thank you.

I don't know if anyone ever told you that you are a gem to listen to. I am learning so much from you. All your videos are inspiring.

This is an excellent, well thought out and and well explained appliqué technique video. Thank you so much!

I never knew. Now I do. Thankyou so much. This is a game changer x ❤

I will be teaching an applique class next month to beginners…I love applique; mostly fusible. While looking for articles to draw information from I found your video…I so enjoyed watching you do this turn applique method. I don’t do much of it but definitely you have inspired me to do a project. I am now a subscriber. Thank you.

Thank you for teaching this class. I was afraid to try it but you make it look easy. I will give it a try.

Once again you've blown me away with your simplified way of doing things... Thank you so much!

This is brilliant, my machine is straight stitch only and this video helps as I now know how to get the shapes hemmed inside, I was thinking I would have to try and push the hems under as I went, the vilene method is so easy

I enjoy all your videos very much. I will be doing my first applique on a quilt this week. And I will try this method. Thanks for taking the time to give us this demo.

I just loved this technique. I didn't realize reducing the stitch could make such a difference. Also one of those stitches I have never used for applique, and it is a great alternative. Thanks again Susan, you are the best!

You are a real teacher-not just a nice lady who sews well. I recognize good instruction. Thank uo.

Fabulous demonstration. I never would have thought to do it that way! So explanatory !

I'm just starting a new appliqué project and this was so helpful! Thanks so much for sharing your knowledge with us!

You are an awesome instructor! Thank you for doing your videos. I have learned a lot from you.

Thank you for your specific instructions, close viewing on the video camera, and wonderful examples. This is exactly what I was looking for! EXCELLENT VIDEO!!!

This is just what I needed! Thank you for your excellent demonstration.

I love the look of needle turn applique but wanted to use a machine to do it.I have looked all over for a good video that shows that technique and finally found one!!!! This will help me very much.Great job(:

You have the best videos. Thank you

thankyou for explaining in a straight forward way without rambling on for half the lesson like some do ...

Great video - very helpful with all the options.

Terrific video with superb camera shots. Thank you.

Very nice and instructional video. Thank you for sharing.

Thank you for this very informative video. I am very new to the appliqué world and this video by far, was exactly what I needed.

A great tutorial. I was lucky to have taken one of your classes and you were a wonderful teacher. Enjoyed your husband also. Sydney VonFlue

OMG. That is the best technique I have seen so far. It's so brilliant in it's simplicity. Thank you very, very much for sharing.

Thanks for watching, hope it works for you.

Fantastic tutorial - thank you so much.

Thank you for this video. I now know the mistakes I've made in the past and look forward to my next appliqué project with much less stress!

I very much appreciate that you draw a picture of the stitch, as well as naming it. Many thanks.

Hello from Florida that was great I love to applique, this will help me alot, love your videos Thank you 🤗🤗🤗🤗👍

Beautiful! Thank you so much!

Wow, applique is the one thing that i have always avoided. Now your method is just brilliant. Easy to follow step by step and straight forward and your recap is just the thing. 🌻

Wonderful ideas! Thank you so much.

Thank you for your great hints and tips on Applique. Hugs xx

Very informative! Thank you!

Thanks for this video, I can't wait to start a new applique project. You have inspired me.

Great method. Didn't think of making them in this easier way.

Super wonderful idea…thanks so much..love to watch all your videos 👏🥰

I have been inspired by you! I love this technique! I’m a new quilter/sewist and I can see where this will be helpful in many ways. Thank you so very much. You are a wonderful instructor!

Great method from a great teacher. Thank you!

Very beautiful video.

Brilliant demo. Excellent photography

Thank-you. Beautifully done. I agree wholeheartedly on ending off as you go. The thought of hundreds of ends to run in on a multi-coloured crocheted rug, did it for me. I could never see me finishing all that afterwards. You have such diversity in your tasty treats, and the tips you show, that I have not heard of before can be game-changing, you are a prolific worker almost relentless at finishing things. Your 2020 achievements were mind boggling. So, so, well done.

Thank you! Just what I was looking for-- a machine applique that looks pretty, close to the original, and is not time consuming! :)

How exciting to be doing your first applique! Hope it goes well, thanks for watching.

Thank you for this very helpful video, I am going to try a cup cake applique. I have the same sewing machine and like the idea of trying the blind hem stitch ,

lovely, thank you so much! I love both stitches!

Very helpful. Thank you.

Thank you, your a great instructor!

Thanks Susan, I like the use of Vilene as I have started a leaf applique design and the turning in the points of the small leaves has been a bit frustrating to get them 'perfect' Most helpful and well explained.

Great video thank you for showing this way.

This is a great idea. I can think of so many uses. I'm going to use this for my centers for Dresden's thanks so much for sharing.

I use fusible interfacing, flipping the fusible out and pressing the applique before stitching.

I'm a new quilter and have been wanting to try some applique but was not thrilled over the hand stitching. I'll definitely try this! Suggestion: it would be better to see the stitching from your side of the machine.

Very clear and easy to follow demonstration! I will be using this technique.

Great tutorial. Thank you! I really like your sewing machine!

Excellent ideas thanks

Thank you very much, this has been a difficult decision for me on what stitch to use on my block as I have never machine applicqued before. Your technique has made it very easy for me. Thank you again, Elizabeth

Thanks for that info, things aren't always called the same thing everywhere! Thanks for watching.
