I’ve used it on this project (hair and eyes) and hand sewn the edges. |

No it wasn't. It is a block from Happy Halloween by Amy Bradley. www.amybradleydesigns.com
I did put my own spin on it. :thumbup: :lol: |

I don't like the stiff feel of the applique either. I needle-turn. By the time you do all the other steps, you have done the same thing 2-3 times. Needle-turn is once.

I do not do needleturn anymore because my hand cramps very quickly. That's why I started exploring machine applique techniques.
I have adapted freezer paper applique (for invisible machine applique) to the point where it goes very quickly. For example, I draw and cut once to get six shapes. For me this machine technique is much faster than needleturn, even if my hand did not cramp up all the time. |
