Needle Turn Applique Quilts
#151
I use to do it when I made my kids clothes when they were babies. I'm new to quilting and have lost most of my feelings in my hands, but I see a lot of apps on here still done that way. thanks for sharing

I like doing needle turn applique but at the moment I am doing one by machine. It is quicker since I am doing 16 blocks and I want to finish it quickly. I had to stop to finish the challenge quilt for next week then I will get back to it. Hand applique is more relaxing and I do enjoy doing it. I know there are many other who love it so I don't think it is dying out just yet.

I like to do needle turn applique for the same reasons romanojg mentioned. Have never done it for anythig big, just wall hangings and wouldn't use that technique for a quilt that will get a lot of hard use.
Before I took a class at quilt camp on hand or needle turn, I didn't do it 'cause my work looked awful. Ami Simms has a way of doing applique that might be just the thing for those who don't like needle turn.

I'm doing my first one, a wall hanging. It was really awkward at first but the longer I do it the better. A couple of hours into it I usually rip out the ones I started with and do them over. It takes me forever but it's relaxing and I enjoy it.
