    I appreciate all kinds of applique techniques.I've done a little needle-turn and like it.It takes time and patience.I am making a mini now that is machine appliqued and it's been fun,too.It is almost overwhelming to see all the things I'd like to be skilled at.

    For me personally I have no patience or time, love how it looks though, one day I will do one, probably when I am old and gray and have nothing but time

    I've done several needle turn applique projects. But, I do all kinds of machine applique too. It really depends on the use of the quilt and the pattern. I like to have one hand applique project going so I can do it while watching t.v. at night.

    I am looking for a hand applique pattern that suits my capabilities and my interests. I want something to be portable and still be quilting. Obviously, it needs to be wallhanging size and floral.

    I like to have a needle turn patchwork project on the go. I do this while I'm watching T.V with Hubby. At the moment I am doing a sunbonnet Sue Quilt, very slowly and not to well but I should be better by the time I have finished. lol. The only thing I don't like about it is the fine needle, it takes me ages to thread even with a needle threader. (my eyesight is not the best, sign of getting older I guess.

    I just love needle turn App. because its so portable. It also allow you to "customize" what you're doing. My avatar and my garden quilt pitures are all hand turned.
    Within my guild there are a group who are forming an applique group. I just can't do machine sapplique on anything I consider heirloom. But I am trying to get over that as I think that's what most of the art quilts are and my original work seems to be drifting in that direction.

    Needle turn applique is my favorite thing to do. I keep one going most of the time so when I sit and watch TV I can keep my hands busy. I have made lots of them through the years.

    I have done it, I do enjoy it.
    My first project I did was a Hawaiian Quilt for a full size bed. I had 6 blocks left so I am putting them together. It is relaxing, like hand quilting is. :-D

    I made a table runner that had needle turned applique on it. It takes time, but the results are wonderful.
