Thank You for such a detailed video, and close-ups. I really enjoyed listening to you saying how to place your needle in this zigzag. This is really helpful for me because, sometimes I just don't get it right. But now I can go back to your video. And referring to how it was done is going to helpful.
Thank you for this direct and to the point tutorial on how to applique raw edges! It made for quick effective instruction without wasting a bunch of time! Great detail!
Thank you very much for this tutorial! You definitely helped make this less intimidating for a noob like me. One note though, I tried Steam A Seam 2 (standard version, just like you have in this video) with fleece and it started gumming up my needle, causing skipped stitches. I tried several methods to get around this, thinking it was a tension or other type of issue. After doing some research, one website recommended going with the Lite version for machine sewing. Hope this helps others. Thanks again!
Diffuse: yes. SAS2 is a non-sewing fusible. I wanted to see what would happen if I tried to sew on it. It wouldn't make the stitch over the fabric, it lifted my applique off the fabric entirely!😂
This was a fantastic tutorial. You are a great seamstress. Thank you for showing us all the steps to make something so nice. I am very new to sewing and plan on trying to make my jk an sleep sack. I think it will turn out so much better now. Lol might have parents asking where to get one. Thanks again!
Gorgeous. Thanks very much for sharing. I'm new to appliqué and been practising but having problems with my zig zag stitch going off applique or not catching. How do you follow curve with a standard zigzag foot? Do you follow needle or part of foot like you do when straight sewing? Thanks
@Lena Eats ASMR I use an open toe foot so I can see what I'm doing. Also ck YT tunes. There are ways to turn or work on the points. They will show you how. Once you know the tricks, it's easy. Good luck.
I am totally new to appliques. I just purchased my first mat and cutter wheel today and 4 colors of solid broadcloth to practice with. I have the double stick web as well. Can you tell me where to get this pattern? Cant wait to start. What is the club you are talking about?
My first time watching you. You do such a wonderful job. So patient and step by step. I am 69 with a hearing aids, so any music in the background makes it difficult for me to interpret what you are saying. We need to hear you, of we want to have music we can play our own. I loved being able to see you stitch up close and slowly, thank you.
Hi Amy! So glad I found your RUclips channel! I had purchased your Baby Quilt Craftsy workshop years ago, and still find that I come back to it to refresh myself even after all this time. :) I have a question that I hope you see. I'm doing an applique quilt for the first time, and just wanted to get your opinion about using spray basting for the applique as opposed to fusible. Thoughts?
I am in a block exchange and a gal sewed around her first layer and then when she put the next layer on top the stitching on the first layer was raised a little and showed. I fuse all the pieces down and then sew around everything. that way I don't have raised edges underneath from the sewing
+Babby Blair Thanks for sharing about your process! There are definitely many different ways to do applique, and raw edge applique...I like different ones for different reasons but this is the one that I tend to use the most. To each his own! :)
+Amy Gibson that is so true. there are so many different ways of doing things. I would show you the picture of that block I was talking about but I don't want the gal to feel bad. What do you do when your top fabric is a little see through. Where the underneath fabrics show through the top layer. would you put a piece of interfacing on it. or would that make it too bulky? Also, I still enjoy your tutorials and your pics of your family. I bet they keep you on the run.
Everyone I see doing applique uses fusible webs or sheets. Did you know you can use basting glue or just plain Elmer's glue? These options are cheaper and easier to use with less instructions. Why do people use the fusibles as opposed to plain old glue? I saw a lady just use the glue around the raw edge of the applique piece to hold it into the background fabric and she had amazing results I didn't notice any shifting. Is there a reason most applique quilters are using this special product? I don't understand it. I haven't tried applique yet I'm learning as much as a can before I try but these methods all seem so lengthy and unnecessary to me. Any input would be appreciated thank you
Emily, I am new at applique, but I saw a video in which the woman said that fusing the whole applique down, as opposed to just the edges with glue, keeps it from shifting and fraying over the years and thru many washings. That made sense to me, so that may be the reason.
Emily, it's because they're told they need X product. You notice that the video takes 3.30 out of the 10 minute tutorial explaining in detail how to use a brand-name product and how great it is.
I think it is just progress. It is another way to do things. Just like using a sewing machine instead of sewing by hand, or using an embroidery machine instead of embroidering by hand. Manufacturers are always coming out with new things to make sewing a bit easier, a bit more professional, or just so we will buy more. We can still do things in a more simple manner if we want to, but if we want to try the new gadgets and products, we can. I think progress marches on and we cannot stop it. It is a world that revolves around business and money. But many times the old ways, the "by-hand" ways are cherished and valued more. I myself have several machines that do lots of things that I would not be doing if I had to do it by hand. And it is so fun!! It is everyone's choice how you want to do it. And yes, you can save money by doing it the simpler ways. Why not try it both ways, Emily, and see if there is a difference, or if you prefer one way over the other? Than you can continue on with your choice. Happy sewing!!
Emily Shetterly the reason the fusible is used is partly because the paper backing makes tracing the pattern much easier. Trying to trace the pattern directly onto the fabric is much harder and typically requires a light box or taping the pattern and fabric to a window so with the light shining through the pattern is visible. Also, and in my opinion the most important reason , the paper backed webbing hugely helps with the edges fraying. Cutting out the pieces, applying glue if done that way, positioning and sewing down is a lot of handling. And all the handling of the fabric causes the edges to fray. If that is the look you're going for than great but if not the webbing is really the easiest way to keep the edges from unraveling. Hope my explanation clears up some confusion. I'm sure there's more reasons if anyone else cares to comment
Emily Shetterly I’m new to this, but when I used glue I found my needles were not too happy. They became gummed up sort of. When I used the fusible product made for this, I had no trouble whatsoever.
Amy (or fellow commenters), how does the raw edge technique go down with judges at quilt shows. Do they have to see edges turned under all the time? Just wondering, because I want to enter a quilt in a show and I need to do a lot of appliqueing on it; and this seems a lot faster and easier than turning all the edges under -- but I'd also like to win a ribbon. Please reply. Great video btw.

Great stitching thanks for using a darker thread for demo and the camera was directly on the project making is easy to follow. Beautiful flower.
It’s my wish to learn what you just did so easily. You are a natural at teaching. ♥️
Thank you for this direct and to the point tutorial on how to applique raw edges! It made for quick effective instruction without wasting a bunch of time! Great detail!
Amy, you are an excellent teacher.I am also happy to see you on RUclips .
Love and miss you Amy!!

Thank you for this tutorial, I'm a visual learner and was having issues with some of the written out tutorials
BEST explanation. Thank you!!

+Christine Johnston Thanks so much Christine!!! It's fun to be trying out something new! :)
Just started a course doing applique, had to buy a new machine with more stitches and loving it.
Fantastic, clear explanation and nice close-up video. I feel like I might actually be able to do applique now!
I love the colour combinations you used on your project. Great video, very clear. Thank you.
Thank You ! this was just what I was looking for.
Very good teaching!!! Thanks!!
Really fantastic teacher! Appliqué not so scary!😊😊

Amy Transue
awesome tutorial I love applique and that is what mostly I do but I struggle with it.
Your nails are beautiful, I am so glad you have let them grow.
That helped lots!!! Thank you!!!
Thanks Amy. Very helpful🌹🌹🌹
Awesome tutorial!!
+Teresa Burtt Thank you Teresa!!
Gorgeous. Thanks very much for sharing. I'm new to appliqué and been practising but having problems with my zig zag stitch going off applique or not catching. How do you follow curve with a standard zigzag foot? Do you follow needle or part of foot like you do when straight sewing? Thanks
Christina Mackay I watch the needle. It’s helpful to have a foot that is either clear or clear within the middle part.
@Lena Eats ASMR I use an open toe foot so I can see what I'm doing.
Also ck YT tunes. There are ways to turn or work on the points. They will show you how. Once you know the tricks, it's easy. Good luck.
Thank you, Amy.
Great tutorial! Can this method be used for blankets/clothing or is this mainly for wall-hanging/non-washable quilted art?
Does the edge fray if it is on something that needs washing a lot?
Wonderful! Did you use adhesive to add the second layer of petals to keek them in place?
Great tutorial!! You have a new subscriber!

Good amazing,Thanks
I cannot find the free pattern on your website for this video. I clicked on the Sugar Block Club.
how do you keep a steady hand and follow along the fabric so well? what's the secret.
I am in a block exchange and a gal sewed around her first layer and then when she put the next layer on top the stitching on the first layer was raised a little and showed. I fuse all the pieces down and then sew around everything. that way I don't have raised edges underneath from the sewing

Can I follow the same metod and print textapplique?
While I was watching this, I realised I was turning my phone as if guiding the fabric to stitch around the curves 😆🤣😅...and I did that twice !
Is it okay to use heat and bond? New to appliqué!!
Lora Johnson heat bond is a must! I use a light weight heat bond.
Where can I find the template?
Bellissimo
Not sure why you didn't show that you fuse it down with an iron? Also an open toe foot would give better visibility when sewing..
very informative
