So now for second to last day of goodies.
Over the years, one of the questions we get over and over again is about our way of doing applique. I know that for many of you applique is something that you just refer to as the "A" word and not something that you want pursue. But trust me when I tell you, that applique is not nearly as hard as its cracked up to be. For years, I tried and worked with methods that just didn't help me until I found the Starch Method of Applique. I love it and it helps me to create the perfect shapes that I need for my designs every time. Today I thought I would share a little kit of goodies so that you can try out a little bit of starch applique on your own. I really don't think you will be sorry that you did!

I’ve never tried the starch method. I didn’t start appliqueing until just a few months ago. It was the “A” word to me, and I just could not see myself doing it, much less enjoying it. Then I made a quilt that had an appliqued vine border and fell in love. It is one of the most soothing things that I do. I taught myself needle-turn and that is the only way I have used so far, but I can see that perfect shapes would be much easier using starch. I know I’d never get a good circle with needle-turn even if I practiced till my fingers fell off!

I was not fast enough to get one of the kits. I think a kit is a great idea, as I am in the group of people who have been afraid of the “A” word. I went to a needle turn applique class (years ago), but it seemed too hard. Using starch and freezer paper seems like it would make it easier to actually applique. Even with my fear of applique, I have a preference for the turned edge, as I think a lot of the raw edge looks sloppy and unfinished…

Thanks for the Twelve days of Christmas series of posts. I’ll miss it after tomorrow.

Starch for applique does make good sense. Starch when piecing on the bias helps, so it makes sense that for applique it would also.
Nancy Davis | 8th Dec 11
Rats!! Missed the kits. Oh well, hope you have a Merry Christmas1!
Donna | 9th Dec 11
Thanks for all the ideas and giveaways. I too have just started doing the “A” word and love it. Not enough time to create all that is in my head! I hope you have a merry Christmas
