    I taught myself to machine applique with Harriet Hargrave's book:
    http://www.amazon.com/Mastering-Mach...dp/157120136X/

    Highly recommend that book if you want to learn different machine applique techniques. I have done some hand applique, but my hands and fingers are not typically proportioned and my hands cramps up very quickly with hand work.

    Is everyone getting the message board? I didn't get one yesterday or today. Does that mean I need to do something to get it?

    This is my favorite applique book "Applique the Basics and Beyond: The Complete Guide to Successful Machine and Hand Techniques with Dozens of Designs to Mix and Match" :

    http://www.amazon.com/Applique-Basic...ref=pd_sim_b_5

    Lots of different methods described.
