Thank so much for this tutorial. I made one for my great nephew this weekend and it’s super cute. I used my Cricut Maker to cut out the name and then quilted with my embroidery machine. I need to find more babies to make quilts for…it was so much fun to make.
Beautiful!!! Would you happen to know the name or manufacturer of the flower fabric. I’m obsessed with it and have a new granddaughter on the way!! Thanks for your excellent video 💕
Hey! Excellent question! Yes. Quilting gloves help to grip the fabric so that it doesn't slip around so much while trying to quilt. While they're not 100% necessary...they kind of are😂. It just makes things so much easier! I love this brand: amzn.to/3Z3bS9K. Thank you for watching!
Hi . are you using white cotton or polyester fabric? I've been at a cross when selecting fabric to sew the applique on 🤔! I'm thinking should it be a heavier fabric since cotton is so thin? for blankets and pillows? idk. What's you think? thank you
Hey! Great question! I personally always use quilting cotton. With that said though, I have used polyester and even flannel. The heat n bond actually makes it a little thicker but honestly, you can use whatever fabric that you want! The only guideline I can share is just make sure you can iron it haha. But even canvas/flannel fabrics are thicker and work. Canvas make work good for pillows since it doesn't necessarily have to be as soft as on a blanket. I hope this helps! -Ashley
I should have added this info into the video! Sorry! So this is a raw edge appliqué like you mentioned, and the fabric will slightly fray to your stitch line. I love it though! It’s so unique. It doesn’t look messy at all. Even after years and years of washing it still looks awesome. I’ve made maybe over 100 of these over the years? So cute!
@@ashleypilarski334with the raw-edge appliqué, it does fray a little. I think that’s one of my favorite things though! It gives it a unique and loved look❤️

@southernsewingco Yes! It all makes sense. Thank you, Ashley, for all the suggestions and quick reply.
@@prosperity. you’re so welcome!
thank you for this!!!!!!

Love it! Question.. do you have any issues with the fraying fabric around the name since it a “raw” edge?

@@southernsewingco thank you for the inspiration! I’m going to work on one this week.
I wondered that exact thing.
I think the edges can also be zigzagged stitch so it prevents fray
Will the fabric edge on the name fray?
