WHAT IF....You wanted to do this pattern, Wishes, but have severe arthritis in your hands. You probably thought
wool appliqué was out. I ran into a you tube channel Betty Jo Tatum who does wool applique by machine. Yes, she
breaks all the rules that I have learned so far on this new adventure of wool applique, but her applique does look good.
Also for those of you with a lack of time for the leisure of hand stitching, you might benefit from using her machine
applique on the adhering the pieces down. On at the wool applique of Sue Spargo, it appears she covers all the wool
edges with decorative hand embroidery stitches so you would cover up the machine stitching. HelenWHelenW

I am using a cotton background with the wool appliqué and almost finished stitching the appliqué pieces down to cotton background.
Should I use a stabilizer when I start the decorative embroidery stitches? Is there batting already attached to top that I would embroider through or should embroidery stitches just go through cotton background?
Thank you!!!

Hi Susan W. I just put my stabilizer on my project this morning. Used black Pellon light weight
fusible. Wish I had done it like Alice F. and put it on the pieces before stitching the background
together but did not. Started pressing a few inches from back and then checked the front and had
ripples on the cotton background. Carefully pulled apart and then pressed from front with a cotton
pressing sheet on top. That worked fine. I would not add batting until after the decorative stitching.
It would cause a lot of drag on the thread and pull the batting hairs to the top of the piece. HelenW

Originally posted by sandytn View PostWhat is the best marker to use for transferring design onto wool? I tried sticky embroidery transfer paper and did not like it. Hard to needle and to remove. I’m using a Bohn extra fine pencil but I have to go over lines multiple times.
I use it a lot. I also use Frixion and SewLine white chalk. I sometime use purple air erase, if I plan to get it stitched in one
session. It goes away fairly quickly if you plan to wait a few days it will be gone. I could not find mine just now, probably under
a stack of fabric or something. HelenW
When I have watched Sue Spargo marking with the 3 in 1, she often just puts a dot where she will
start the stitch. Like 8 dots where I put the lines.Last edited by Helen W.; 06-15-2025, 07:38 AM.HelenW

Sandy F. I would love to see a picture of your couching. My guess that either would work. When
I have seen couching on other projects it is designed to just hold the thread down so it does not get
hooked because it is loose. Your idea of using a color that makes it a design addition is great.
Probably would work either way and same wt. or heavier or lighter would work too, whatever looks best to you. HelenW
-
Good morning Alex! On the live yesterday when discussing the couching stitch for the yellow flower, you indicated that you used 2 different shades of white/cream. Were both threads an 8 wt thread? Or did you use a thread that was a bit heavier for the thread being attached with couching? Hope this question makes sense.
