Raw edge is fast and fun. Hope you give it a try! Thanks for watching!

I like it because it's much quicker than turning the edges.

Thank you! Glad you liked it.

You're welcome, thanks for stopping by my little spot in Podunk!

Thank you!

Thank you, I'm so happy you found it useful.

Yes, I've done that as well. I find the cheaper ones are the best.

Awesome! I'm so happy it worked for you! I'm working on a new video for invisible machine applique. It should be up sometime next week.

Wash it on a gentle cycle, air dry if possible or low heat in the dryer. If the fusible frays or comes loose you can iron it to help refuse. I have several quilts that have done just fine without prewashing.

You're Welcome.

Your welcome

Thank you, glad I could help.❤

Awe thanks Claudia, huggin back! I am who I am, just a country girl who loves to quilt. Putting up a front is hard to maintain so I don't do it. I gotta ask is your name really Lucille Ball?

@@podunkpretties No that is not my real name, it is just an online name I use for websites, etc. But of course I am a redhead that claims to have big Lucy moments when I screw up something, ha ha. Love REAL people, no phony stuff.....

You're welcome. Glad I could help.

Thank you! Funny how each machine has a personality. Mine doesn't like the satin stitch. Even with the special foot it doesn't want to move over the stitch. It gets hung up.

You're Welcome!

Thank you and you're welcome!

Thank you, glad you enjoyed the video.

Thanks for watching! Glad you found it helpful!

Thank you, it means so much to get feed back. I thought about trying to be like everyone else but I am who I am, that's all I can be.

A zigzag stich will work as also but I use a blanket stitch.

Could you clarify the only going thru one hole instead of three?

@@lindawilson3770 My machine has an upper thread guide, both the sewing machine and the longarm....a small horizontal bar with 3 holes. You put the thread through the holes in an over and under pattern through the 3 holes. I've learned if you bypass all three and only use one of the holes the thread stops curling. The curling is the only fault I have with Aurifil.

@@kupton52 thanks! I'll have to check to see if my machine will let me do that.

@@lindawilson3770 I think any machine that has the 3 holed bar will let you do it, even if they don't say so. Good luck!

Yes I too love 100 wt thread. THanks!

I used to use a black marker. I like the pencil better. Hope it works out for you too.

Blanket stitch....very tiny!

The fusible is called Heat n Bond Lite

Here's where you can get the free blocks. erinrussek.typepad.com/one-piece-at-a-time/2020/06/home-again-heres-a-handy-complete-set-to-download.html If you look around her blog you'll find more information on applique and embroidery for this quilt. You'll also find the finishing instructions. The name of the foot I'm using is called an open toe foot.

Are you wanting shapes already cut or something you can trace and make yourself?

Not sure what brand. Its quilt shop quality but has no selvage.

@@podunkpretties Sounds like Kona Cotton

I made one for my grandson 10 years ago that is holding up fine. I used prewashed fabrics.

@@podunkpretties Thanks for the feedback!

I don't know the name of the fabric used for most of the applique. The wing on the bird is a Pam Kitty Lakehouse Drygoods. They're no longer in business. The yellow fabric on my ironing station is an older fabric also and the selvages have been removed so I don't know the name of it either.

I quilt my quilts with MicroQuilter 7002.

Yep Guterman is good hand thread. Never used fusible on flannel. I should give it a try.

Brother Innovis. We have a love hate relationship😁 Someday I hope to get Bernina.

Karen Kay Buckley Scissors. They are wonderful! I have used and abused these things and they are still sharp. I own 3 different sizes and use them daily. The handles are soft and easy on the hands. They are a little pricey but not as high as some other scissors that are heavy and hard on the hands.

@@podunkpretties thank you!

No. As long as you follow the instructions on fusible it will be fine. I've used a smaller stitch and its fine. However If you are making a quilt that will be used heavily and daily, needing to be washed every week, I would not use raw edge applique. For those quilts I used turned edge applique. I have video for how I do the turned edge applique on a patriotic pillow. All my quilts get was at least twice a year in a washing machine. Some of them are over 10 yrs old and are still holding up fine. Thanks for watching.

They look to be the same, just made in different countries. I never used it so I can't speak for it's quality. But from what I can tell it's the same as Heat N Bond Lite here in the USA.

I use a wide variety of needle sizes depending on thread and fabric. Have you tried Schmetz Super Non Stick Needles 80/12?

@@podunkpretties Whoa! Is this something new from Schmetz? I mostly use their brand of needles.

@@suekelly840 I found them on Amazon. Local shops and Joann's didn't carry them.

Thank you. Loved this video. Look forward to more.

It's built into my table. My husband made it. But you can get a light box on Amazon for about $15 or $20.

Yes, cotton quilting fabric.

Oh yes this would be a lot easier than sewing together squares, rectangles and triangles. Good luck to you on your new adventure. Sewing and quilting will teach you patience if you stay with it.

Up!

It can be done by hand as well if you use heat n bond lite. However I don't use raw edge applique by hand.

Home Again

I tried that and didn't like it. Thank you for commenting, someone else may find your comment helpful.

Oh that's a cute idea! I might just do that!
