I just found you April, and im enjoying your videos. I made so many outfits for my kids when they were little (going on 30 years) using these techniques. I'd let them choose the fabrics and make shorts or attact a skirt to the t-shirt with the fabric. Then I'd do an applique on the t-shirt and add cuffs using the fabric.
Oh April. This is brilliant. An easier way to tart T-shirts without the cost of that machine you told me about. Please keep the vids coming, cos you know we love them xxx
I think I will do the same for my nieces and nephew. :-). I can't believe I didn't think of that! I'm so glad you did. ;-). Thank you for watching. April
Great video ♡♡ I'm working on a quilt for my grand daughter for Christmas, I am putting the school emblem in the center so this answered so many questions!♡♡
Oh I am so glad! Except that while on vacation I left that sweatshirt on a chair somewhere. :-(. Now I have to make another one and start over on the fraying. LOL April
@@aprilscraftroom that’s a bummer. I made my Mother’s Day shirt this year and did the word Mama across the top and then put all 5 of my children’s names and I forgot to press it with the iron before washing it and I ended up cutting it really close to the stitch line because I didn’t want that much of a ragging look so it didn’t bond to the shirt and never would after it was washed and it is now coming apart because again I cut it too close to the stitching. I learned my lesson about that and I need to remake my shirt but I still wear it often even though it is messed up in that one spot. I said I was gonna stitch it down but never have and it’s holding up! I think it would look good on the rag quilts before the pieces are sewn together! When I make my son a new one when he outgrows the last one I made him I plan to do that but he is 2 and it is just his size for now!
I wanted something quick and dirty. But I will definitely be giving that a try. I really liked the way the edges frayed around the letters on my shirt and wanted to give that a go. :-). Thank you for watching. April
Since you are using your snc machine, cut your heat n bond 1/4 to 3/8 smaller. Attach it to your fabric and scan it in up side down and then cut your fabric so it won’t have heat n bond all the way to the edges of your shape. 😉
I love how you used the fabric panel !! Never thought of T -shirt appliqué ! Now I am thinking for tote bags?
Great idea!!
That's awesome. I have some plane t-shirts that I'm going to do this on. Thanks for a great tutorial.
Thank you so much!!!

April

April
I do embroidery and make appliqué all the time and I use heat and bond and the more it is washed it will fray and look good!
Oh I am so glad! Except that while on vacation I left that sweatshirt on a chair somewhere. :-(. Now I have to make another one and start over on the fraying. LOL

Maybe pinking shears?

Great idea, but why did you not do applique stitch around or blanket stitch?
I wanted something quick and dirty. But I will definitely be giving that a try. I really liked the way the edges frayed around the letters on my shirt and wanted to give that a go. :-). Thank you for watching.
April
Can you use basting spray instead of spray glue?
Absolutely!

Thank you so much for sharing and i will definitely do this next time!
April
Do pre-wash your fabrics or shirts before applique?
No
Some people do but I find that it really doesn’t make a difference
