I know you did all the stems at 1/4" but how did Irene do the 1/8"? Does she have a Clover bias tape maker that is that small?

[Marylou O.]

I do my stems a different way. Cut the bias strip four times the size you want. Fold wrong sides together and machine stitch the raw edge to your background where you want it placed. Then fold the stem over and appliqué the folded edge down. No turning under at all.

Great question, Eileen. I don't know and she doesn't say. I can't find a 1/8" bias tape maker by any company.

Karen K Buckley has Perfect Stems that she demos on her show and it's featured on the Master Class Applique Part 1 show. If you want 1/8" stems, I would recommend her product.
