If you are hand appliquing, isn't that kind of a weak spot, could fray out later on the quilt?Maddie Can Flyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00958817072275895189noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-116061752441257596.post-56635327714295628342012-06-16T22:55:05.121-07:002012-06-16T22:55:05.121-07:00Love this post!

I don't use a stiletto - I am not mature or responsible enough to own such pricey "equipment" so I use these bamboo skewers - they're burn resistant, so I can lay my iron near or even on them, and they're only about $1 for 100 of them, so I can lose them and leave them about willy-nilly! <br /><br />I like your baste-method - I hadn't thought to try it that way! Maybe tomorrow......<br /><br />JenJenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07649186894244703990noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-116061752441257596.post-44045553377368480562012-06-16T13:04:53.021-07:002012-06-16T13:04:53.021-07:00I appreciate these tutorials a lot and have ordere...I appreciate these tutorials a lot and have ordered one of the trolley needles to try...I had seen them somewhere else and had considered it before but you tipped me over the edge, lol. I have been more of a fusible raw edge girl but you have inspired me to try the starch method again. I am currently trying to applique a paper airplane shape that keeps fraying at the point though, very discouraging...thanks for your tips!krislovesfabrichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04335996028000477555noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-116061752441257596.post-27093183807652732642012-06-16T06:18:05.514-07:002012-06-16T06:18:05.514-07:00Thanks for pics and info!
