Tendrils
I am making Elise Campbell's "Love Knows No Season" from 2010. I have patterns, no directions. Two of the blocks have vine tendrils and I can not find how to make them. They are very thin and I can hand applique them...if I only knew how to make them. A bias maker, 1/4" is too wide.
Can you help, please. Many thanks

Use a 1/2 inch bias maker. Starch the resulting band heavily as it is coming out of the maker iron to dry crisp. Then cut the bias tape right down the middle. Take one half and sew the folded edge on your placement line. After sewn down, lift up the raw edges and trim with sharp small scissors the lower raw edge. The one lying toward the background. Now simply needle turn the top raw edge and sew down with small appliqué stitches. There you have it.

I watched Yoko Saito making vines on youtube yesterday. Her work is exquisite. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=faJ2K4Ynsiw
