I don't make quilts but I made a wall hanging with hand appliques. I used a super light weight interfacing and cut out each applique piece out of the interfacing and the fabric. I sewed the fabric on the machine around the edge to the interfacing. I then cut a small slash on the interfacing and turned each piece inside out. I press them and they were ready to hand sew with very neat edges.
Holy smokes! This is amazing... what a brilliant idea. New technology is fantastic, isn't it? And what a great idea to line the back of the project with lightweight fusible before stitching on that raw-edged applique so the foot doesn't get caught in the seams. I would never have thought of that. Using the thread alone for skinny pieces is also very clever. Thanks for the added tips of removing and storing this special thread so we don't run into a disaster later on. I so much appreciate your sharing of this great idea, and am glad I've found your channel and subscribed! ~Diana from Toronto
This is confusing and seems more complicated than other methods. But I use a fabric scanner that also cuts out the pieces so that makes the process much easier.
Oh Laura thank you so much for this video. As I was watching I ordered both of those threads. I love to do Jan Pateks Applique Patterns and this method cuts out one whole step. I also love the idea of the fusible web on back. Can't wait to start my next project :)
I do not see the point in using a hard-to-see needle thread (gray) when it is going to be removed anyway. I makes more sense to use a strongly contrasting thread so one does not go batty trying to find the damn thing. I commonly use gray thread on various projects, particularly on (blue) denim. It is next to impossible to see, unless one _really_ looks hard to see / find it. Trying to match a blue thread on jeans, etc., that will continually fade causes the less fadable thread to now become visible over time. Gray thread will nearly always remain "invisible."
Another great tutorial, this is a very interesting new technique for me. Thank you so much for sharing. I have seen the link below for getting the thread. I live in Europe.
How heat resistant is the mono poly if you want to leave it in. Would it be okay to use for Hot Pads. Would the mono poly melt if a hot pot was put on top of it?
Great video! This is a game changer! Can't wait to pick this thread up from my local quilt shop. 1. If you are making a quilt that will be washed, I guess you could use wash-a-way thread in the top. This is even a little easier since you don't have to take the time to pull the monofilament thread out. 2. You could also use the thread for turned edge applique. You can iron the edges under, so they stick, this way you wouldn't have extra glue on your applique pieces like you might have when you use a glue stick or liquid water soluble glue. You could then use pieces of thread to hold your appliques in place before hand/machine stitching them to the background fabric.
absolutely awesome, Laura! Thanks for sharing. I'm going to cut out with my scant 1/4" borders, sew with the 'glue thread' on the pattern line and be able to needle turn under the border 'on the go' since it's glued down temporarily. Better than fusing the whole piece down and trying to turn under! Thank you, thank you. Now off to buy the thread! :o)
Hi there sorry didn't get back to u see I had surgery in Marc 17 n still not heal complete heal and will see the Dr this wed I love the way u do the Appliqué smile n I'm deaf n will try to learn n follow ok What kind of threads u use for Appliqué ?? Top stitch??? How the fabric stay on before u top stitch appliqué?? Oh boy I have lot to learn but I love it List all supplies that need for this video Appliqué 😀 Also I love the fabrics too Have a great evening!! Maria 😍👍
Maria Goumas Hi Maria, glad you are back! I do hope you are feeling better. Give me a little time and I will write this all down for you. take care of yourself and I will talk to you soon.:) Get well soon
Here is a link to the threads Charlotte’s Fusible Web thread is www.superiorthreads.com/shop/category/thread/?brand=Charlotte%27s+Fusible+Web top thread is Mono Poly www.superiorthreads.com/shop/category/thread/?brand=MonoPoly thanks for asking, this is a must have for my thread collection
It seems like a nice and clean technique, but why not just use a bit of water soluble glue to attach the pieces? That way you don't have to sew around the pieces first.
Hello - I enjoyed this video with the fusible thread doing applique. Can you leave the mono-poly in the top and not remove it? Since you will be probably be adding another stitch over the top anyway? Just curious. Thank you for the video! - Kris
here is a quick review.Using the fusible web thread in the bobbin, sew just on the other side of the traced out shape with the good side of the fabric on the top.Cut out the shape on the drawn line then with an iron press the shape down and remove the top thread when the fabric is still warm. Let me know if you need more info and I can try to get it to you. Thanks
Good information but slightly confusing. You talk us through it but it would have been more helpful to see it done versus hearing it. Many of us are visual learners which is why we watch videos. I had to watch certain sections multiple times because you talked us through the step.
My dearest Laura, I've been watching for two months, yet, we haven met. In and of itself, that seems quite odd to me. I have so many questions for you, but right NOW, I feel a strong connection to you.
Laura, thank you very much for this tutorial on an appliqué thread product I had not seen before. I have a quilt that I have pieced and now need to appliqué two (fairly large) pieces on top. I’ve been researching numerous products & techniques but still haven’t quite decided yet how to proceed. I want the appliqué pieces to be soft & flexible because this is a child’s quilt, but the appliqué also needs to be firmly attached because once the appliqués are applied to the quilt top it will be quilted with the batting & backing so I don’t want any puckers over the appliqué when it is quilted. Would you mind looking at a picture of the project at this link and give me your advice on an appliqué method you would suggest? Thank you very much! www.cloud9fabrics.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/DontLetthePigeonDrivetheBusQuilt.pdf
Great quilt! With it being such a large piece I would treat this in a different way. Cut cardboard out the size that and the shape that you want. Cut the fabric out 1/2" bigger all the way around. Press the seam allowance to the back of the piece using the cardboard as a guild. You will have a 1/2" seam allowance. Using a washable glue stick, glue the back seam allowance and then take the cardboard off and stick the piece to the quilt top. let the glue dry. Stitch all the way around stitching close to the edge, or hand stitch. The glue will hold it in place and the glue will wash out in the wash.
Thank you Laura!! I really appreciate your expertise! I don’t want to mess this up since the Pigeon fabric is no longer available. I’ll try your suggestion on a scrap piece first, but it sounds great!! Thank you!

+Melatina77 That is a great technique :) thanks for sharing
Laura, thank you for another fabulous tutorial! You're such an inspiration & a creative genius. The flower block is just lovely.
Thanks again,
Mary
Laura when I saw your video pop up I know this would be a great tutorial to watch and learn from. Thank you. You make it so easy to follow along.
Glad it was helpful!
Love your wall hanging you’re so talented I enjoy watching their tutorials
The mini elastic idea is the bomb!
Wow!! I didn't know there was such a thing as that ''glue thread''! Thank you Laura. oh, btw, I see you have a featherweight. I love them!
Beautiful! Adhesive thread! Wow!

COOL! What a neat project, but the thread seems to be something awesome. Need to try that. Thanks! Love your videos.
+Linda M it is! thanks for watching
Thank you for the inspiration. I know now I have to try that fusible thread. Very neat!
I love the creative touch you add even to very classic idea or technique!
Thank you Laura
thanks:)
Thank you for explaining how to applique with the fusible thread!

Thank you. Great video. Lovely wall hanging 😃
I've heard a lot of people like to use this to sew down binding. Could you explain how it is used?

I love this way for making appliqué, I am going to give a try soon, I thank you so much for sharing.
+chantalida53 Your welcome have fun!
love your hair!
That is what I use to secure thread on my bobbins too. I buy them at The Dollar (and a quarter) Tree.
Can't wait to try this technique! Great video. Thank you so much for sharing! 😊
Glad you like it:) thanks for watching!
You are awesome......I want to make all the quilts, you have made so easy.....
Another great tutorial, this is a very interesting new technique for me. Thank you so much for sharing. I have seen the link below for getting the thread. I live in Europe.
Thank You and thank you for taking time to watch:)
Can you also leave the thread connected and not rip it off after ironing? PS, nice little black light in the background! Appreciate a reply! Thx
So happy I saw this video. I will try it. Thank you.
How heat resistant is the mono poly if you want to leave it in. Would it be okay to use for Hot Pads. Would the mono poly melt if a hot pot was put on top of it?

Karen gobeil
That sounds good.
Silver sharpie on dark fabric great tip 😀👍🇨🇦

Oh thank u very much!!🌹God bless
Thanks for the great video! I'm going to try this soon!
+Anne Wright Great; and thank for watching
Can you please put the type of threads in your description. This is a great technique.

Beautiful
Super cool! Also, do you have a video of that quilt that is behind you? It's super cool
here you go ruclips.net/video/3cyxa3XPkOE/видео.html
I keep seeing the batting in this video, but I never hear you address attaching it or the backing?
Fantastic ❤
It seems like a nice and clean technique, but why not just use a bit of water soluble glue to attach the pieces? That way you don't have to sew around the pieces first.
yes that is also a great way! thanks for sharing:)
Learned so much! Thank you!
+Barb McHenry Thanks for watching
What is the name (or tutorial) for the quilt you have on your back? It is so beautiful!

iknithappy I guess you could, but it would be a lose thread and could get in your way while stitching down the piece. Hope this helps

A wonderful idea that you shared with me today. Now where can I find the thread and the pattern?
there is link in the description:) thanks for asking
Thank you so much 😊 nice 💡
thanks
When I click on the “superiorthreads” says “the page has not found” .
It is something wrong that I’m doing ?
It might not be available any longer
Haven't fusible threads been around since at least the 80s?
minot60 Yes, and I bought it then and used it for hems, but this is a fun way to use it too! happy sewing
Hello I got ur comment n thank u
Let me know ok love your videos 😍
what did you use to finish of for binding
It will be treated just like a regular quilt:) thanks for asking
Good information but slightly confusing. You talk us through it but it would have been more helpful to see it done versus hearing it. Many of us are visual learners which is why we watch videos. I had to watch certain sections multiple times because you talked us through the step.

It is called Charlotte’s Fusible Web
