Methods of Appliqué: How
to do Hand Appliqué
photo |
| |
| Unlike
machine or fusible appliqué where you simply cut out your desired shapes
to sew on, hand appliqué requires an extra 1/4" seam allowance all around
the outer edge of your shape. Once your shape or pattern is cut out, make
a row of stitches from the outer edges of your shape using a 1/4" seam
allowance. Clip the inside curves, and notch the outside curves (see
below). Press under the edges so that your stitching is not showing. Baste
the appliqué in place. To create a puffy look or effect insert cotton
batting or polyester fiberfill in between appliqué and backing fabric
before sewing around. Use embroidery thread and stitch the blanket stitch
around appliqué.
If using felt or other type of non-raveling fabrics you do not need to add
the 1/4" seam allowance and fold under. You can just cut out desired
pattern and use the blanket stitch to attach it. |
