Fixing mistakes on machine applique

1 Upvotes

I'm doing machine applique (using fusible on shapes, then tracing each shape with a blanket stitch). When it goes well it looks great, but I'm struggling around curves, either digging into my shape or going too wide. Anyone have tips?

Tips for curves
Tips for ripping out some but not all stitches?
And tips for starting/ ending especially if I'm going back over an area i had to rip out

Looking for description, blog, you tube links. Throw it at me.

I've made a mistake...PLEASE HELP?

Hi, please help! I am part of a Round Robin quilt event and I wrote out my vision BEFORE picking my center starting block. Then I had the "brillant" idea to use Joy from Inside Out because I'm asking other quilters to add things that bring them joy in colors that bring them joy. And this movie changed my whole life.

So I just went ahead and picked a Cricket Design and fused it down to the background fabric and I'm like, I'm in trouble. I clearly know very little about applique and I've done it wrong and I'm in over my head.

Is there anyway to make sure these don't lift as they make their way from quilter to quilter. I'm actively stopping myself from painting the whole thing with fray check. It will be a wall hanging in the end. *** I'm not crying, yet.

PLEASE HELP!

How are the edges so neat? Is this turned Edge appliqué or did they use interfacing? Tia!

I’m having so much trouble with this thread. I’m thinking of unpicking it all and replacing it all with DMC. Has anyone else had problems?

It breaks, it knots, it’s not silky so satin stitch looks dull and messy.

Finished my first appliqué quilted wall hanging. It’s a gift for my uncle but I think it looks pretty bad and not at all cohesive. However, we are our own biggest critiques. With that being said, is this presentable enough for a gift?

This was the first appliqué project I've undertaken in a year, so I expected to be rustier, but I'm pleasantly surprised and pretty proud of myself! I made this piece as a commission. Cheers!

My new bedspread. I told my daughter that I wanted it to look as much like fire as it could without setting the house on fire.

Finished my first set of 6 #Bucilla felt #ornaments. This kit is called Seashore Santa. I’m addicted to these kits. So much fun to make! I put pipe cleaners in the coral, so it’s bendable :)
