Hi, everyone! We are half way through our Red Work Inspired Sampler, today I am sharing part 3 Appliques. I hope you are enjoying working with new stitches and stamping with our grid pattern to create our sampler.
In Part 3 Appliqués are added to our sampler along with the Blanket Stitch.
This stitch may take practice but, keep at it and you will be glad you did. This stitch works in so many areas in our handwork and in sewing. Also, the appliqués can be any size or shape but if you are a beginner to the blanket stitch you may want to choose a simple shape so you will be able to feel confident working on the outer part of the shape.
It’s time for us to sit, stitch and sip (Iced Tea or Lemonade will be perfect…
Here’s Part 3 Appliques – Red Work Inspired Sampler
Success in stitching tips
Apply a fusible bond such as Wonder Under or Heat n Bond to the appliqué fabric.
- Cut out the appliqués before stamping.
- When applying the appliqués, using an iron will also heat set the ink.
- Work on creating even stitches in height and width. You can use a tiny pencil dot to create an even height.
- Have a practice cloth with your embroidery. You can take a few stitches on the practice cloth before working on your embroidery
