You might get a reject on photo's because they are too large so you have to go into your photoshop and make them smaller...just in case you don't know how to do that...this is how I do it my computer hope it's same..Right Click on your your photo...SAVE AS...then you should be able to take from full size to another percentage I do 25...save now go back into the post and follow above steps...

You can also create your own photo albums in your profile. If you click on my member name, for instance, you can see the album I made.
If you want to create your own, click on "My Profile" up in the top right of the screen, then on the next page, you will see "Albums" about midway down on the far left.
Follow the steps to create your own albums and upload photos. Then you can tell people that you've made a new album and your pictures aren't as apt to be "lost" as they are in the fast-changing discussion board.

I love to applique myself! It gives me great pleasure! right now I'm appliquing the 12 days of Christmas. I've gotton the templetes all cut out and now I will start on cutting out the fabric. I have never hand appliqued? I always machine but would like to try something by hand just haven't tried yet. Here is a pic of one of my very 1st applique.

I love applique. Have never done needle turn but have done raw edge Hand and Machine as well as In the Hoop. I find hand applique very relaxing but I'm not too patient. I'm always looking to the next project as I have so many I want to do.
The first pic is my first attempt at In the Hoop,second is more In the Hoop and the ship was machine applique.

I use monofilament thread and sew very close to the edge of add additional security to the fusible, as I have found that over time the fusible always begins to give. I then go back and do the blanket stitch.
I have been doing it this way for years with great results.
I am making a reindeer xmas quilt for my grandson, I hope you can see the invisible thread on the edges of them, better yet I hope you can't see it!
The hearts show the finished blanket stitch
