[Ansteorra] Applique

[Ciard49 at aol.com]

One way to turn the edges for applique is to sew (right sides together)  your 
decorative fabric with bridal tulle, about one quarter inch around all  edges 
leaving an opening big enough to turn the fabrics right side  out.
 
Before turning, trim and clip all curves and points. If fabric wants to  
pucker after turning, turn it wrong side out again and reclip.
 
The tulle fabric gives no bulk on the underside and holds the seams  well.
 
Hand sew using applique stitch or small straight stitches perpendicular to  
the edge.
