    How do I do this?

    I took two classes on machine applique. They both used glue stick to adhere the appliques to the background. I also did applique with fusible web. I can't find my mistyfuse that I know how to work with. Instead I found stitchwitchery. Does that work the same way. Are these two different methods? I want to do applique of my own design, so I am winging it. It seems I don't get to reinforce whAT I learned because I don't do it soon enough after. LOL Jan

    I have never used mistyfuse so I can't say whether or not it is the same. You would just press the stitch witchery on your fabric, cut it out and adhere it with the heat of your iron.

      Jan,
      Mistyfuse is very light and won't add stiffness to your piece like the Stitch Witchery will.
      Go to Series 2, Episode 210 and watch Beth Ferrier's "Hand Applique by Machine" method. That would help with the glue stick technique.
      HTH,

      PS-I'm practicing this myself this weekend.

          I used Misty Fuse for the first time.......it does have a good feel to it. Very comparable to WonderUnder, which is my choice. There is no release paper on it, which makes it a bit different to work with.

            With the misty fuse you add it to the cloth you want to fuse using Reynolds parchment paper folded over it so you won't get any on the wrong side of the fabric and it won't get all over your iron. It makes a nicer pressing technique than using a teflon pressing sheet. Well they will both work well. I wish I could find my misty fuse. All of my supplies are all over the house. Very frustrating.

              I watched a free video on madiera applique. It was a nice technique. Used a lot of stuff I don't have. I don't know what site it was on.
              I want to make up my own designs. However, Right now I am finishing my dd's quilt, so the applique has to wait. When I get to the applique, I can't decide whether to do raw edge or to try to do what looks like needle turn by machine.
              I went to a course by Sharon Schamber. She uses a foundation that dissolves into nothing when wet. She glues the turned edge onto the back of the foundation, then glues it to the background material and sews it down.
              Does anyone have any other ways of doing needle turn the easy way? Jan

                Jan, the TQS BOM last year was a beautiful applique design and I added tutorials for each month on my webshots album. The patterns are no longer available, but you are welcome to go through my tutorials to see if there are any tips that might help you. I just do plain old-fashioned needleturn...no foundations, no glue. Just you and the needle.
                Here is a link for January, and there is different info for each month.

                  It looks like some of the pictures of the tutorial on the link are similar to the madeira applique video. In the video she used some kind of slide projector sheets to make an overlay. I think she actually ran it through her copier. Do you use freezer paper to make your patterns? I'll have to look at the tutorial again. Thanks a lot, Margo. I bet your quilt looks wonderful. I love /Sue Garmen's applique designs. Jan
