Reverse Appliqué by Machine with Trapunto
Skill level: beginner to intermediate
6 or 3 hour format
Sewing machine (zigzag) and iron required
Optional kits available for $15.00

Painlessly create beautiful designs with intricate detail, perfect for wearables, blocks, borders or accents. Long flowing, curly borders or pictures with the sharpest points and thinnest lines imaginable are possible with this easy method using fusible web. Combine fabrics such as silk and wool for wearables or stick to quilting cottons tried and true. Give your design that extra punch with the added dimension of trapunto... without all the slitting and stuffing!

SUPPLIES:

• Zig-zag sewing machine. (Oiled and clean, with extra bobbins!)
• Size 75/11 machine needles
• Extension cord.
• Sharp Pencil
• Small, pointy, sharp scissors.

(optional $15.00 kit includes everything below)

• Suitable copyright free design.
  The design must have separate, contained, elements in order to work. Think of a stencil or a silhouette. The smallest reasonably manageable “hole” should be no smaller than 1/4” and the thinnest “line” should be no smaller than 1/8”.  You must be able to cut out each element in the design separately.  Teacher will provide one for you and have additional patterns available for .50 cents each.
• Wonder-under or other fusible web that is “sewable.” (not heavy-weight w-u.)
• One fat quarter of dark or light plain fabric
• One fat quarter of highly contrasting fabric
• Batting., size of two fat quarters
  Use a batting that will not shred and get caught when placed directly onto the feed dogs. I prefer Hobbs Heirloom Cottons.
• Lightweight thread to match the top fabric.
  If your top fabric is patterned, match thread to it’s darkest color.
