I'm deaf and am very HAPPY that you showed "visual" training and it's very helpful!!! Will do my project :-)
Dean WaugBran My daughter is deaf also. Glad you were able to enjoy this. She also sews and does crafts, and can't watch everything. So thankful for visual aids.
Dean, if you click on the three little dots at the top right of the video and you can turn on captions - when they are available. I am deaf too and I find this most helpful
Wendi, I already wnt to tell you that I love the way you conserve and cut your fabric frugally! Thank you for being So Real!!
This is the BEST step by step Fusible Web Applique instruction video I have seen. Perfectly explained and Wendi is very easy to understand. I am hard of hearing and I have no trouble hearing this entire video.
GREAT Tutorial !!! SO many helpful tips. THANK YOU SO MUCH. I am new to quilting in general and applique TOTALLY . My FIRST attempt at both is for my nieces first child !! No pressure. I really appreciate you doing this very helpful tutorial. LOVE the bird btw, super cute.
Perfect instruction! Thank you for teaching me how and for giving me the confidence to try this out!
wowee I just love your videos! Spend all my free time watching them. Glad you explained this so thoroughly - i tried it before but it was so so complicated i couldn't manage it on my own. but thanks to you i'm now the queen of appliqué!
Well Wendy I’m going to try it for the first time ever ! Thank you very much for the great tutorial - finally understand it 👍🏼
Very clear instructions. Thank you. You are a wonderful teacher for beginners.
Oh what fun! I can hardly wait to get started on the cat quilt which is this same principle...thanks so much for your tutorials...they are outstanding!
As always, simply excellent tutorial. Wendi, you're the best at not only designs, testing, and documenting/notating, but instructing as well! Perfect balance between concise & detail, easy to understand for both the newbie & the experienced sewist. Thank you for all you share with us.
Thank you for such a thorough tutorial on fusing appliques. Doris
Im just starting to learn applique and this is the best tutorial by far .. explained in easy terms..thank you
Thank you for such clear insfructions
Thank you! Great instructions and easy to follow. Can't wait to try it!
Absolutely clear instruction, easy to follow. You're a brilliant teacher! Thanks.
+Margaret Williams Thanks so much! :-)
Thank you Wendi really appreciate your video it really has helped me I will be following your blog ..this old dog has alot to learn ..thank you again
I needed this and the video was perfectly clear. Thank you!
Wendi, love your videos. I just bought your dinosaur pattern and dots FQ bundle. I grinned at the bottom of your iron - it looks like mine. I just saw a great video tip to press your hot iron down on a wet Magic Eraser from Mr. Clean. It works great!
Love your videos. I'm a new subscriber and can't wait to make my applique. Thank you!!
great tutorial. you make it look a lot easier than it looks. I can't wait to try it.
Hi I'm back had surgery in March 17 n been sick since last
Year . I love your video
Maria
I just found your channel tonight. Great video! New subscriber. Now to binge-watch your other videos! Thanks for sharing your talent!
Thank you so much for your helpful advice, Wendi.
Perfect tutorial. Very clear instructions and video quality was perfect. This tutorial will hopefully help make my first applique experience painless. Thank you
Thank you for clear instructions. I want to applique oak leaves to my quilt top and this shows me how.
I like this method tons better than turning edges under. The key is to keep a clean edge, I think, which is where the chosen stitch can help. Thanks for teaching this quickly! It’s so hard to sit through RUclips tutorials where the instructor is hesitant or unnecessarily repeats themselves. It’s just awful when someone keeps focusing on making points that are plainly obvious. That’s a common weakness of inexperienced video tutorial teachers.
Happybidr y
thanks you explained this so well! Easy going instructions and relaxed, good sound
hahaha look at all that snow! What a nice day to be quilting!
Just about to finish my wall quilt, Stairway to Cat Heaven....great video for newbie applique 😀
You are awesome! I cannot wait to try this! I really love your posts!
Thanks so much! :-)
Very nice tutorial and very well explained. Like your method...Thank you!
You made the directions easy to follow. Thank you
Gostei do seu trabalho, ficou maravilhoso. Parabéns.
Finally! A video series that a new quilter can see the entire process! I feel like I can actually do this now!! THANK YOU!
Great instructional video! Thanks so much for this!
Thank you Wendy that's a great tutorial and I really enjoyed it very much. 😀😀😀😀
Thank you for a great video, I have just found your channel and subscribed so shall spend the evening catching up :)
Cute simple project; I like that fun camel fabric in the background.
I just found your You Tube videos and I've been watching them non-stop-they are great easy to understand tutorials and not intimidating like so many quilting tutorials can be. Thank you! I did have a question about the appliqué technique where you used the iron on heat and bond. I have always used Pellon Wonder-Under for my appliqués and have assumed I needed to use a satin stitch to outline the appliqué in order to keep the fabric from shedding. This is very challenging with small pieces and intricate designs. I noticed you don't use a satin stitch but rather a straight stitch on the appliqué edge. Is this because this quilt is a decorative or wall quilt or will it be washed and used as a quilt? If so, do you find that the fabric shreds on the edge of the appliqué over time? I would love to switch over to using a simple edge for sewing my appliqués, but when I've tried I've had the fabric strings on the edge of the appliqué come out. I only make quilts to use though-not wall quilts so maybe that's the difference.
So beautiful thank you for yr easy way to explain
This was super helpful! Thank you ma'am 😁
Wooooooo SNOW, I’m in Ca. And it’s hot. Would love snow like that.
Awwwwww... I live in Florida and will love to experience Snow too! Its just so BEAUTIFUL
Great video. Can Lite adhesive be hand sewn through with an ordinary applique needle? Thank you for your many tutorials.
Thank you for making it so easy to do as I'm also hard to learn mm86 .n.have had so many falls so I'm kind of to learn BUT I HAVE FROM YOU GOD BLESS FOR BEENING SO GOOD TO EXPLAND THESE AMEN
All those clear and precise instructions and we have to follow a link to see the end result! I loved your video until that happened. :(
Great tutorial! Thanks.
Thank you from a beginner for doing such easy and understandable instructions. How can I get your applique designs?
Very good lesson. Thank you so much. I love birds and that is sew cute!
Thank you for your lovely tutelage Wendi... After watching this several times I finished my challenging project and posted it to you on the shiny happy sewing group page on flicker. I would post it here but not sure how on You tube. The Fusible web I got said in big bold red letters underlined yet. NO SEWING. I fused it down good and as it is a pillow for camp or on my niece's bed I am hoping it is going to be ok with washing infrequently. I may have to get fusible web I can sew down as you have here.I love the owl pillow I made, it is so adorable!!
I'm so glad the videos have been helpful! :-)
did you see the owl video?
No. What owl video?
I totally miss-spoke... I meant owl picture on Flicker ... where you mentioned in your free pattern for owls made by the kids you taught to go to brag a little about the owls they made, (delightful to see, by the way) I did not make an owl stuffie, I made a pillow for my niece's bed or shelf or to take with her to camp for not feeling lonely. I posted it there cause I could not post it here. Smile. Wasn't sure where else to post it... I guess I could on FB. I watched YOUR video on applique oh, five or six times to help me to once again venture forth on the adventure of applique thinking it HAD to be easier than my " you can do this .. give it a try" experience with it! With my elephant fiasco and through your other videos showing how fun applique can be, I discovered I have a whole roll of SUPER HOLD fusible web. Imagine the frustration I have had trying to sew by hand the tiny details on my daughter's baby quilt label applique of a simple elephant. I shake my head at the memory of being so excite to applique it, I stopped reading their fine print, after how to put it on the fabric. That will teach me to do better next time.
I was unaware of the different types of fusible web, aside of course from the industrial grade stuff as opposed to wonder under. I thought fusible web was fusible web, and I was grateful to have the stuff and not to have to buy it. Will make the investment in much lighter web and redo the elephant-- fortunately it was just going on a quilt label and not on the quilt actual construction, strip sew as you go quilt. Thank you for your excellent tutelage. See how you help people so much?
The failing on the elephant debacle was my own-- imagine the chagrin when I went back and read the fine print further--under the fold of the web, in red print capital letters and I think an underline... and exclamation point,no less, "DO NOT SEW!" a good bit further down on the instructions.I guess I can forgive myself for it. I was so excited to do an applique.... well, that will teach me to slow down and be more careful with instructions. Filed under the :"Live and learn, and try to learn by others mistakes if you are fortunate enough to be able to do so" category of things. Thank you for your joy of applique and masterful instructions once again. (The owl pillow was oh so much easier without sewing it!).
I looked all through that Flickr group and didn't see your owl. :-( Flickr isn't the same as it used to be so I don't recommend posting there anymore. I recommend the Facebook group instead - just haven't gotten all the old patterns updated yet. And don't beat yourself up about the fusible! I did the exact same thing with my first project - a banner for my daughter's school. I grabbed the heaviest-weight adhesive I could find (assuming it would be the strongest) and never even noticed where it said not to even try to sew it. What a nightmare! Gunky needle. Breaking thread. Skipped stitches. It was awful and I didn't try fusible again for a LONG time. :-)
So cute!! I was really impressed that you didn't turn under the edges at all. Will it not fray at all, even when the quilt is washed & dried multiple times?
I tested out a couple of products (including washing and drying the tests) and shared the results on my blog. I can't put a link here in the comments, but if you go to the companion blog post I linked to in the description, the first link in that post is to the test results.
Enjoyed this. Thanks.
Great tutorial,thanks,
@Wendi Gratz May I ask you where are some of the places you get your fabric from? I love the your fabric you've chosen here. Beautiful colors with delicate patterns. Thanks so much!
Do you ever use washable glue? Elmer's glue not fancy quilter's glue as a temporary fix so you can applique sort of in between fusible and no fusible ? Also, there is the fusible applique outline technique too. I am more inclined to do your first technique for the nice soft cuddly quilt. Do you use flannel? I hated flannel but the more modern flannels look substantial enough to play with. Thanks for sharing your skills!
I am a beginning sewist and just started learning applique. I love your video - very detailed and you explained everything very well. I have a question though - won't the edges fray over time? Is there a way to prevent it?
+sanoni1 That's one of the most common questions I get! I wrote a post here www.shinyhappyworld.com/2015/10/how-durable-is-applique-with-fusible-adhesive.html showing one of my daughter's quilts that's been washed and dried many times with no special handling. It still looks great!
Thank you for sharing your skills. What do you do to keep the glue for not gumming up on your machine or hand needle?
I used baking paper in between the iron and fabric when using fusible paper.
Great tutorial
@Wendi Gratz I'm a minute twenty-six seconds in and I can already tell that some of the beginner learners watching this also will have to go somewhere else to find that first part you explained about transferring the image onto the fusible paper. I can tell that this is going to be a great video and I'm going to learn effectively from it. However, It would just be great to get all the information from one place. It's like a class but, I've never been to a class that skips the very first steps in how to do something. At least, not without coming out without being disappointed that I don't know how to start the process which is usually the hardest part of anything especially if you haven't been taught how. Where do I get a design or how do I come up with one? How do I transfer it on the fusible adhesive and what kind of fusible adhesive should I use for my purpose? If these questions were answered here then I think this video and teacher could surpass all the other channels by a mile. Thanks so much for your contribution to the art of quilting and making society a better place one stitch at a time!
Click on Wendi Gratz's name below the video and you will be able to see all of her tutorials, there is so much information for you to be able to learn, also go to her wonderful website, it's great 😊
Cute n I learn that from wool appliqué n now I want to do on fabrics
Appliqué soon!!
Have fun! :-)
That is really easy to follow instructions. I live in Australia and bought what I thought was fusible applique paper but it doesnt work as both sides seems the same texture. So now I see how this is done I am going to have another go
There are so many different fusible products - it can definitely get confusing. What's you're looking for is paper-backed fusible adhesive. My favorite is Heat & Bond Lite and I think it's sold in Australia.
This inspired me!
Thank you Wendy!
جميل.....شكرا
Thank you for yout tutorial.
I love what you are doing and the directions are great. Do you have a link to get the fusible adhesive . I have bought the pattern of cats and need the paper fusible, thanks
Perfect! Thanks!
Very nice, thank you.
Thank you for this tutorial. I want to make something for my granddaughter but its been intimidating
Can I ask - does he adhesive stay on pretty much forever? Over the years, does the glue ever discolour the fabric in the way that double-sided sticky tape glue seeps through paper?
The Heat & Bond I use does stay on forever. That's good because it keeps the edges from fraying. :-) I've never seen it discolor fabric at all. You can see a quilt here after almost two years of constant use and lots of washing. www.shinyhappyworld.com/2015/10/how-durable-is-applique-with-fusible-adhesive.html It's getting close to four years now for that quilt (though it's no longer in daily use on her bed) and it still looks terrific.
I have quilts that my mother did years ago. No discoloring or loosening of the adhesive if you follow manufacturer's directions. For example, some require a press cloth, others use the iron directly on the fabric.
Hi Wendi. I love your videos and I have learned a lot. I cannot get my eyes sewn down because my pressure foot covers them and I cannot see them. What am I doing wrong?
Sylvia
This is a great tutorial for beginners. Where can I buy your bird applique? Do you have an owl?
The bird I used as the demo in the video is one of the ones included in the Chrip quilt pattern. (shop.shinyhappyworld.com/collections/quilt-patterns/products/chirp-a-bird-quilt-pattern-workshop) I also have an owl pattern here. (shop.shinyhappyworld.com/collections/quilt-patterns/products/parliament-of-owls-quilt-pattern) Happy quilting!
Огромное спасибо
Thank you for sharing xx
Oh wow...I'm so glad that I found your video. I've been wanting to do applique for so long and have been too scared to do so. Now that I see just how easy it can be I'm ready to give it a go!! Thank you so very much for showing us how fun and easy it can be. I do have a question though, can I do this technique for any pattern....like if I print out a simple flower (or make my own design) can I just get the fusible backing and just apply it to my quilt? or do I have to buy a particular pattern? thanks
thanks a lot i v a question here waht if the fabric has a lot of threat around the aplik please answer me waht i do?
Very helpful! So cute. Are you still pleased with your iron, by the way? Thank you.
Thanks! And yes - I'm still completely in love with my iron. :-)
Adorable!
First time here. I was hoping you would show yourself stitching the appliqué down too. I enjoyed your video.
This video shows the outlining step - specifically outlining small pieces and tight curves. www.shinyhappyworld.com/2017/01/stitching-eyes-mouths-video-tutorial.html
You may have answered this previously, but I am just wondering if this method causes the appliquéd image to pucker when washed?
+Julie M I don't find that I get any puckering. You can see a close up of a quilt that has been washed many time here. www.shinyhappyworld.com/2015/10/how-durable-is-applique-with-fusible-adhesive.html
Thank you!
Nice tutorial! :)
This is very cute and your explanation was great. QUESTION: Once you do the first step (ironing on the fusible to the back of the fabric), how long can you leave it like that before the 2nd and final fusing?
Indefinitely. :-) I've used scraps YEARS after the initial fuse.
I have done quite a few wall hangings using this fusible technique. I think they are fun and allow for so much personal creativity. I like you idea of quilting the background before applyinng the applique pieces.
Is it possible to quilt the appliqued parts? Does the fusible web make it too stiff or sticky for quilting?
Also, have you ever sating stitched around the edges of the appliqued pieces?
Yes - you can quilt the appliqued parts. I just usually do faces and I don't like to quilt across them because it looks like cages. :-) And you can satin stitch around them too - or other decorative stitches. You can see some examples of that if you look at the individual blocks in this owl quilt. shop.shinyhappyworld.com/collections/quilt-patterns/products/parliament-of-owls-quilt-pattern I just really like the look of the straight stitch outline so that's what I do most of the time.
@@WendiGratz Thanks!
Hi, I'm a complete novice and have not attempted anything yet but can I ask something? At the end when you said you would stitch round the shape in black, does that mean the stitching would be see on the reverse of the quilt block?
Great tutorial! I'm always concerned about light colored fabrics appliqued over darker fabric. How do you know, or ensure, the block color did not show through the bird's belly?
Mrs. O I hardly ever use white - so that helps. :-) Most of the fabrics I use don't have a super-strong pattern - I really like allover tone-on-tone prints for applique - so even if they show through a bit, it's more like a slight shading than seeing a stripe or strong polkadots showing through. :-)
Grazie
You mentioned that you quilted the square prior to putting the applique in place. Many times this is not realistic to do because of the solid backing and batting required. Any other suggestions? Thanks. Wonderful video. Very helpful.
Betty Giguere I think this is a quilt as you go. The backing will be added when the blocks are joined. Watch Wendi's other videos on quilt as you go. She does a great job!
Thank you🎉🎉🎉
Hi Wendi! I've seen that you not use seam zic-zac your markers and I like how they look, I just wonder if the machine wash not are they fray? or really that's the idea that something rustic look. I hope I understand since use the translator.
I love your work!😍
I get this question so often I wrote a blog post to show a quilt after it has been in use for some time - and washed and dried many times. :-) www.shinyhappyworld.com/2015/10/how-durable-is-applique-with-fusible-adhesive.html
Wendi Gratz Thank you for your answer. Believe me that if I knew your language would have cleared my doubt. Tutorials in Spanish, I read the comments before asking any question
wonderful....what type of fusible backing is this. I used wonder=under and it's been awful.
Thank you. I LOVE 💘 THIS. How did you print on the adhesive paper?
It works with any inkjet printer.
if i would hand sew this what stich would i use
thank you! very cute.

That was a great presentation. Wish I would have had it before I started to assemble my halloween piece!
I am terrible with cutting out shapes with scissors. I know you are supposed to make long cuts to keep it smooth, but I think I try to be too perfect and it always ends up jagged. Do you think it will be ok to use my small rotary cutter? I have 2 of your Craftsy classes and they are great! Can’t wait to get started on the monsters quilt
Try it and see how you do.I do better with scissors, but I've never tried a small rotary cutter. It might be just the ting.
Wendi Gratz thanks for the response. I have a few very small ones and will try it.
Hello, first time at your channel. Very clear explanation and to the point
I have a query if I may have your help. What's the difference between the fusible adhesive paper and the Bondaweb?
I have been told that they are different, but having watched several videos, both function in the same way, and I'm a bit confused.
Thank you for your help.
I think Bondaweb is just a brand name for several different products. They make a paper-backed fusible adhesive that works just like this, but they also make some that doesn't include the paper backing. That works differently.
Thank you very much for your response. Today I received the fusible adhesive paper and I will give it a try to my appliqué project.
Hi! I am making a duffel bag for my grandson, and want to put appliqués robots that he drew, on the pockets. The bag is made with soft and stable as a stabilizer. Should I use the same method you used here. Very cute bird, by the way.
Yes! But if you're planning to also quilt the bag, I'd add the applique first. Soft & Stable is more puffy than regular quilt batting and I think the quilt lines would show through to the front of your applique.
I Love your videos. There is no way that I would be able to machine sew fusible adhesive applique (without 'sewing' my fingers) but I am a lot better at simple hand sewing / quilting - would fusible applique work / be stable if it was hand sewn ?
Yes - but it does make the fabric a bit stiffer until it's washed the first time. You may need to use a thimble if you sew for long stretches of time.
I really enjoy your videos because you don't make everything perfect (please don't be offended). I am thinking of using you lovely letters to make a 'better to be finished than perfect' wall hanging. I'm moving house and having a clear out but unfortunately I've got lots of old pairs of jeans and cotton duvet covers that I could quilt with. I've watched some of your qayg videos which might be an easier way to go. I'm ironing piles of clothes while watching tv but unfortunately 'having' to stop for quilting related things because my brain wont stop. I'm a beginner with fabric & sewing machine and am getting a bit overexcited (must be my age,
What kind of iron board?? Big??
Is this method of stitching the bonded fabric suitable for a child's quilt which will need to be washed a lot? Wouldn't the edges fray in time?
I get this question so often that I wrote a blog post about it, showing photos of one of my daughter's quilts after more than a year of constant use and many trips through the washer and dryer. :-) www.shinyhappyworld.com/2015/10/how-durable-is-applique-with-fusible-adhesive.html
Wendi Gratz Thank you, Wendi. I appreciate your time.
