      Understanding The Basics Of Quilting

      All About Appliqué

      Appliqué is a quilting technique which involves applying layering one fabric above another and

      sewing it on. The term appliqué comes from the French word appliquer, which is a French verb

      meaning to put on. Even though the word comes from the French, the technique has been

      used in many cultures and throughout history, with the earliest examples of appliqué being

      found thousands of years ago. Learning the uses and how-tos of appliqué will expand the

      possibilities of quilting enormously for you. Appliqué is a versatile technique which is useful for

      design options regular quilting can't accomplish.

      The first step in learning appliqué is selecting a design. Small, intricate shapes will not work

      well for this technique, at least not when you are first learning. Start with a simple shape for

      your beginning appliqué project. Something basic like a circle or heart will serve you well for

      your first attempt. In order to create a pattern for your appliqué design, many people choose

      freezer paper, because it is stiff without being too thick. Trace your design onto the freezer

      paper and cut it out and then you can easily trace your appliqué onto the fabric you've selected

      cotton is a good choice). Next, carefully cut the appliqué design out, leaving 1/8th inches all

      around.

      In order to stabilize the appliqué, you can either glue the freezer paper to the fabric design, or

      pin it. Now you will have to deal with the raw edges. Since the fabrics are being layered atop

      one another, as opposed to being sewn in seams as with traditional quilting, it's very important

      to learn to finish the raw edges so they won't unravel and be unsightly. One way to do this is to

      take
