APPLIQUE |
This section covers hand and machine appliqué as well as stained glass appliqué. Each design is marked with the technique required to make it. Some of the designs can be made in either hand or machine appliqué. In these cases templates are included for both techniques.
Except where stated, the patterns do not give full instructions on how to make hand or machine applique. They are just patterns which include templates and an order of working plus some helpful hints. At the top of this page you will see we have produced Course Workshop Notes which give full instructions on how to make either hand or machine appliqué.
There are two other Course Workshop Notes at the top of the page. One explains how to make up block quilts and the other how to produce attractive cushions with different types of closures. |
