    Default FUN Machine Applique Piece

    I want to share some pics of a machine applique piece I just finished binding. I started it in a class in June called "I Can't Believe It's Machine Applique" with Carmen Geddes, and had such a great time learning this applique technique! The piece measures around 18" x 20" or so and I did a curved binding on it just to add a little more "movement". I did the freemotion quilting on my DSM (Juki TL98Q). Even the crosshatching in the background was done with a freemotion foot rather than a walking foot. I marked the lines first and then just went for it. It was actually easier than I thought it would be and was great practice controlling my speed/stitching as well as starting and stopping smoothly.

    I'll definitely be incorporating this applique technique into some of my future works.
    Hope you like it!

    It looks so great Wendy! The cross hatching really sets your work off.

    What marking pen do you use?
