Beginner Hand Appliqué Workshop: Fresh Picked
Posies — Want to try needle-turn appliqué without
committing to a six-month BOM?
This one-day workshop will cover all the basics to get you
started on beautiful needle-turn hand appliqué as you stitch this
rectangle-shaped block with a vase of flowers in Piece O Cake’s
modern, folk-art style. All
the shapes you need to learn are included in this design: inside
curves, outside points, cutouts and stems.
You‘ll learn how to make templates, mark your fabric, and
the hand appliqué stitch. This
is also a great starter class for the Block of the Month project.
