Handwork...YUK!!! These flower appliques were pulled around a card stock shape to get smooth edges. The pulling part was first hand basted around each shape. I sat in my easy chair one night and basted each shape. Next day I pulled and pressed and then machine appliqued the pieces. I didn't realize how spoiled I was to machine embroidery applique!! The manual process on the machine now seems so slow and cumbersome....

ReplyDeleteThanks so much!! Slow yes. Mainly because I keep dropping the needle! My grip just isn't what it used to be!
