Beginning Hand Applique

This class will teach you an easy method using interfacing as a foundation for turned edge hand appliqué.  We’ll redraw our applique to make it easier to turn edges and sew.  We will create a New Orleans Fleur de Lis appliqué.  A fleur de Lis has everything that can be difficult: convex and concave, sharp points and overlapping parts.

Supply list of items not in the kit.

• Two 8” x 8” pieces of quality quilting cotton - one for back ground, other for appliqué.  

• A few applique pins, or regular straight pins

• Needle and cotton thread that matches the color of your appliqué fabric.  I personally like very fine short needles, but bring whatever you are comfortable with.  

• Thimble, if you use one
