Machine Applique Technique 

This is the best appliqué instruction on RU-vid I have seen! You are very thorough. Thank you very much.

What a wonderful tutorial. The best I’ve seen. Thank you!

What a gifted teacher you are, Kathy! Thank you for this video! I'm just learning applique and this is very helpful.

OMG, I am so happy I found you Kathy, Thank You!! I went to an applique class and we were not shown any of these techniques. My goodness I am so happy to have been looking for more applique videos nd found you , so much information thank you. I will be trying these ideas for sure.

I learned so much, thank you very much

THANK YOU OVER AND OVER for featuring the 880+!!! YOUR video was excellent and I look forward to more 880+ videos! 🤗❤️🥰

I just love that accent. Super tutorial. Thanks. x

This is my first time watching your videos...as a matter of fact, I accidentally came across it. Needless to say, I now follow you and set it so that I will get notified when you post. YOU ARE AN INCREDIBLE TEACHER!! You have a gentle voice that makes me WANT to hear more and learn as much as I can from you. You make your videos easy to watch and make total sense so anyone will learn. Thank you and I will be watching more!! 😊

Being a brand new quilter I have not ever done appliqué. This video helped so much. Thank you!

Oh my gosh is this a fabulous video. You are an exceptional teacher, not only because you explain things so well, but the little tips that are sprinkled in to make an appliqué technique go from what a beginner would do to how a professional would handle it, are wonderful. On top of that, your tips are very easy to follow and practical. You are a Bernina angel. Have some housework to do before I can sit down at my own machine just to try out your tips - which means I will be watching again as I was unloading my dishwasher while watching this😊. Thank you for taking the time to make this video.❤

Definitely Beyond The Best Teacher!!! I learned a LOTT❤❤

Super helpful!!

I am new to applique. You went slow enough that I could take extensive notes. Thorough enough that I did not miss a step. I am grateful.

You are a wonderful teacher. So kind and unhurried and thorough!! I've sewn forever, but I just learned three new 'tricks'. THANK YOU!!

Very good lesson!

Ms Gina I love your precision and detailed instructions! Thank you so much!

Fantastic instructional video 😷👍🌍🇦🇺

This video helped me more than you can know! Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge

I've added this to my 830 embroidery group. Thank you for your wonderful instructions

YOU are an amazing teacher. It’s so pleasant to watch your videos. Thank you!

Love love love this tutorial!!! Thanks so much for being so through in your explanation of things. I’m very new to sewing and you are so easy to understand!! Thanks so much and have a wonderful day!

Wow. I learned so much. Especially the settings you used on your machine. I will use your tips moving forward. THANKS for sharing your knowledge

Thank you so much. You are very clear and your pace is wonderful. I find some of the other tutorials speak much too fast and I have to replay a section several times. Your timing is perfect. Glad I found you.

A nice tutorial. You have such a pleasing voice. Thank you very much.

I love your tutorial - it was clear and so informative - and you are an excellent teacher! Thank you for taking me from step A to Z!

Thank you for this very thorough tutorial. I searched and searched for a video that talked about thread and needles :)

Wow. You are the best in explaining. I have learned so much. Thank you. I love watching you demonstrate.

Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge and expertise. Thanks for the detailed explanation which is going to give me the confidence to have a go at machine appliqué.

Thank you Kathy, Loved the tip about the corners. I have admired your work for years. What a gift you have.

Wow. Thank you for all the tips and tricks.

Thank you for this!! Makes so much more sense for the corners.

Thank you so much for your kind and patient instruction. I am an intermediate advanced quilter, but new to appliqué. It has filled in a lot of blanks for me. Great to know more about thread choices and Steam a Seam too. Now I just have to get that machine, I love it! I think your tips will step up my appliqué skills right away. Thank you!

i have only done two applique projects....you have given such great tips! very well done....you are a great teacher.....i will save this video for future reference!!!! ty!

This tutorial was so very helpful & succinct. I made a mini-house banner for my grandson & appliquéd Jack’s Room on each piece. It came out beautifully. He loved it ❤️ Thank you.

This video was exactly what I was looking for! Thank you for your help!

Fabulous instructions! Thank you 😊

I appreciate the thorough explanations and the nurturing manner you explained everything on this video. Your instructions were thoughtful and oh so helpful.I learned several new tricks today that have made such a difference with my machine appliqué.

Just found your video! Excellent instruction ♥️ Appliqué is my favorite quilt process and I have been doing it for years but....I just learned SEW much. I cannot thank you enough for all the detailed information you shared. Thank you! Thank you!

Thank you so much for being so informative of every step. Your a great a Teacher. I’m new to Appliqué.

This is the first time I’ve seen your channel. I really enjoyed it. I wish there was someone like you that would teach how to use the embroidery feature on a Bernina QE 440 machine. I bought the machine several years ago, and the embroidery feature came with it as a bonus because they were changing models. I hadn’t even considered embroidery before. I wish it wouldn’t have even came with it because it has cost me quite a bit of money on patterns and such that I don’t even know how to use. Of all the you tube channels I have watched, no one teaches how to embroidery with this machine in detail like you did. Very good job. Yes if you know anyone that knows how to teach the 44 QE talk them into making a RU-vid.

Thank you so much for your patient teaching technique. I am new to doing anytime of applique and am trying in on a baby blanket currently. Although my machine is not a Bernina, I can use your technique and am sure to be proud of my work.

Thank you for this excellent lesson. I’m a new, slightly awe-struck Bernina user and learned “sew” much with this video-from product selection to navigation to technique. I have much to learn and your clear and concise instruction makes my learning curve less daunting!

So helpful! Love all the details!

Thank you so much for a greatly informative video, and you have such a pleasant voice...so relaxing and I will try your techniques...very helpful.

I really appreciated watching this video even though I do not have a Bernina. The clear descriptions for technique and tips for sewing are so helpful for any machine. Thank you for slowing down the process with great explanations and good camera angles.

Excellent tutorial! ❤

Thanks for showing the little blind appliqué foot. I wish I had known how to use the steam a seam with this foot awhile back when I had a bunch of circles to appliqué. Also, the satin stitch corners. Genius!

Your tutorial has been very helpful. Thanks AngieSolis

Thank you for sharing your techniques for sewing appliques.

Thank You for sharing! great video

Kathy, we moved to Texas from Knoxville 7 years ago, and I had the great pleasure of taking several classes from you back then. I just found this channel today and I am thrilled! There is no place been close to Gina’s in DFW, and I miss ya’ll every day. Thank heavens for technology…I feel like I have found my way home! So good to learn from you again!❤️

I live several states away and visited your shop one time during Row by Row. I am thrilled to have found this video as I am pulling my hair out with applique right now. You are so calm, clear and thorough in your instruction. Just what I need!! I have an 880AE and am doubly thankful that you did the lesson on your 880. I have subscribed and am looking forward to finding more of your videos. Thank you so very, very much!!!

I just enjoyed this video. You are great at teaching. I feel I can give applique a try. Thank you.

Very good teacher. I love how you thought

❤ thank you I learned alot

Thankyou 🌷

very helpful. Thank you.

Thank you so much!

Excellent!!!

I will definitely follow your tutorials, since I kind of stay away from too much appliqué. Practice makes perfect, I know.

Thanks for the great tips embroidery lace ornaments at holiday now want to applique on fabric

Very informative thank you

Fabulous tips 💐

THANK YOU!!!! You have helped me twice today my friend!!! I didn't even know there was a satin stitch, I was trying to do it by just adjusting the standard zigzag and it never turns out like I want. Thank you for these videos!!!! They help us all!!! It was SO SO SO GOOD to see you this morning!!!!!! Love you Kathy :)

I've never sewn applique, but somehow got it in my head that an applique quilt would be a great gift for a nephew due in a few months. That corner trick is brilliant, as in my practicing, my corners all turn out quite ugly. Hopefully I'm a little closer to completing this project.

Hi Kathy, this tutorial was 9 months ago. I always learn something new from them. Thank you so much. Love, Kate P. I'm off to Jonesborough for a class tomorrow, 10-18-21. Hope things are tolerable for you. Bye!

First time for me seeing one of your videos. EXCELLENT! You are a marvelous instructor. Thank you so much. I will need to check my B560 to see if it has the securing stitches. Wish you were my Bernina dealer.

So educational! Thanks

Great information, thank you 😊

10 minutes through and subscribed. Learned so much already. I hadn't used Steam-a-Seam II yet and can see how helpful it can be. I look forward to seeing what other videos you have. I don't have a Bernina, but expect that some info might be universal. In reading other comments, I agree that your verbal and camera skills for teaching are very clear and detailed.

This helped so much thank-you! I was really struggling with my new 880 and the computer aspect. You answered so many of my questions. Tie off , stabilizer and thread. I’m not sure what you did to get it to tie knot at beginning of sewing but I’m hoping I can figure it out. I have 30 butterflies ready to appliqué and feel it will go much better now. Yesterday was full of tears, frustration and failure. New day and Gina to the rescue! ❤️

Love the video. Can the 23 foot "feel" the edge of the fabric when using steam a seam? I love applique and has explained quite a bit of where I'm going wrong! Thanks.

Bonjour, merci beaucoup pour cette vidéo superbe. A bientôt pour les prochaines clo

Thank you for your lesson on applique. I have a major amount of applique to do on a hunting quilt -- lots of grasses and trees with individual branches. When reducing my stitch length and width to get a very tight applique stitch, I get bunched stitches underneath and then the fabric no longer moves --- it just sits there and more stitches pile up on top of each other for a REAL mess. I hate to lengthen width and length of the stitch because I want my satin stitch to really be solid -- one of the fabrics frays a lot. What do I need to do to prevent this bunching of stitches? Thank-you for your help. Colleen

Super helpful, thank you! What machine are you using?

I sure have been using Steam A Seam incorrectly, or has it just changed? WowA You have a wonderful caring approach to teaching. You speak slowly and laugh at things instead of being too serious about it. I wish I'd found you long ago! Is the design book you were using still in print? I couldn't find it on Amazon'

Can you write the name of the product you use to trace the design on. I don't understand exactly what you are saying & where I can get it? Thank you.

Are the feed dogs up or down?

Newbie question…do you have to use the sticky paper to appliqué or can you just cut your shapes and stitch?

Thank you for this demo. I can use some of them with my machine, not an 880

No podrían poner la traducción en español también. Me encantan estos videos porque yo compre una Bernina pero todas estas cosas que Vds. ponen no las se hacer y necesito por lo menos leer como las hacen. Gracias espero que tome en consideraciño esta petición.

Thank you. I learned a lot with your video. 1 question. Do you use the blind appliqué stitch on designs that are pointed and have a lot of corners?

Hallo, bleibt die Oberfadenspannung gleich oder weniger? Danke.

what are you using under your background fabric when you sew?

Can you please tell me what Bernini machine you are using. It doesn't show in the video and I would like to upgrade my Aurora 440 QE.

Maybe a tutorial on a machine that doesn't cost $17,000.

Good information but listening to all your mouth noises made it uncomfortable. Maybe the mic was too close to your mouth
