Just what I needed! I have a panel project for my guilting guild and had no ideas at all. We are supposed to use applique, etc. I'm going to be using reverse applique. Your explanation of how & why is spot on and your voice conveys a confidence I can draw on to do my project. Thank you so much! This was my second video of yours I've watched. Can't wait to fix my brother's jeans too!
Man Sewing Hey Rob! I'm not really sure yet...will pour a glass of wine, put on some music and just doodle to see what I come up with first. One I've done it a time or two, I would love to get intricate and try a snazzy guitar design (I used to play...still have my axes) with all kinds of techniques. This is such a brilliant way to do this, made my mind go into overdrive! I'll send you a photo when I complete mine. Keep up the awesome videos, man! Very inspiring!
This is a brilliant idea. you say you use this to break up large projects. I think this would be a great table set in between quilts. Place mats and table runners would be small projects when you need a break from large quilts. Love that idea Rob!!!!
This is an amazing tutorial, I followed your instructions and made a wall hanging. The making was as cool as it is in the tutorial. You are an amazing instructor, thank you for sharing this method. God bless you.
Rob, when I was scrolling through RUclips I skipped this, it looked too involved. But then it auto played and I am glad, it looks very easy. I am a many year seamstress but new quilter. I am going to work this into my planned project list. And the blue bubble fabric is just great. You have great energy, and your designs are so fresh and young. Keep it up!
I have been doing HAND APPLIQUE for years and had to stop when my hands started to hurt, so THIS is a great way to finish up and get DONE all of the other Hawaiian patterns I have in my TO DO binder! Thank you! I love your tutorials! I watch a lot of them!
Ive been sewing for 50 plus years but sometimes you just want to see a new method even if I could figure it out myself. I’m telling you glad I found this channel. Many links don’t have real instructions plus things like...I’m eyeballing this. I do that too. You don’t need everything exact. You sew to exactness. I’m doing this on a sweatshirt I’m altering that is a dark lavender and adding a polyester shiny material from a blouse underneath to similuate leaves along the top. All thrift buys. I don’t quilt but borrow all the techniques! I’m also learning beginning free motion. But I don’t have any fancy machine. I know some do free motion on a treadle. Well off to sew and will check out past and future videos! Thanks!
My goodness! I am learning so much tonight. This Reverse Applique is fabulous. Thank you again Rob for inspiring me to do something that will become uniquely my design. Now I have to go and try drawing my own design. Christa on Vancouver Island, Canada
I love this! I have just the image to try it with. I went to an arts integration conference and created a print with a whale motif that I designed. Now I can create a reverse applique of the image. Thank you so much! I love your style of teaching and the creative process you demonstrate.
Louise Moulding that's super cool!! Would you share pictures with us when you finish it?? Share them with us on Facebook, twitter, instagram, mansewing.com or google+!
I shy away from appliqué, but you've encouraged me to give it a try. I've loved your videos for years and meeting you at the Houston Quilt Festival (twice) was so awesome! Thanks for being such a good sport taking selfies with me (even the shoes-only picture). LoL! Your enthusiasm is contagious and it makes my own for the craft even stronger. You rock!
Hi Rob! Love this idea as much as your snowflake! I'm going to try to design a flier de Lis using this method! Thanks for another great project! Rebecca
Thank-you. That was fabulous. It's given me a great idea for a similar Maori design, with a Paua look-a-like material, on a bag I want to make as a special gift.
well hello from the uk. i was surprised to find you in my latest magazine subscription was nice finding even more about you and your family and i couldn't believe how long you have been doing quilts well done on your success and i hope the future bring you much more clair
Clair Throupe that's awesome, I was so excited to be in it! I'm glad you are subscribed and got to see it. Thanks for watching the tutorials! It really means a lot!
Great project Rob! I LOVE the creative process as well,,, actually i have more trouble "reeling myself in" and following directions most of the time...LOL It's so good to have you out there helping everyone discover how much fun quilting can be!! GB
Barbara Johnson thank you so much!! That really means a lot! I'm glad that I'm able to inspire you to do some fun stuff with your quilting! Be sure and send pics of your projects! We would love to see them!
What a great tutorial! Charm squares would work as well and all of these shapes are so amazing. I am a Music teacher and love to sew things for music games. These would be wonderful!!! Can't wait. I can customize all of my passing and tossing balls for music games! Thanks Rob!
Rob!!!!! I love this!!!!!! I can hardly wait to try this technique. It's such a simple technique. I gotta go.....I gotta see what material I have so I can get started!!!!!!
I love all of Rob's videos but I think my favorite is the "Easy Reverse Applique". It is such an awesome block. I would love to make a larger quilt with this technique.
love watching your videos and this is a good one. my hubby knows I am watching your videos by the bam bam at the beginning and the quack quack of your friend Jenny.
Cool! you are just so cute and friendly ! Never done reversed appliqué before. i think I will make this my weekend project. thanks a lot for sharing your expertise.
Good honkin' honnah -- this is one cool quilt! You are so encouraging and relaxed and inspiring. Thanks for such an original approach. I love your celebration of ideas and humor and heart.
Doing reverse applique helps us avoid the tedium of adding adhesives on every piece, at least the way you are presenting it. This is a lovely design in its simplicity, and thanks for the tip on using batiks. I'll be making an embroidered in the hoop Mola, so that is a helpful hint.
Hi Rob- I just watched the reverse applique and I'm going to challenge myself to design a full quilt using this technique. I plan on using Tula Pink fabrics. Here's my questions, are you using quilting cotton for the black or a cuddle type? 2. Can this technique be used in a quilt as you go scenario for attaching all the blocks together? I'm closing my sewing and quilting business from Thanksgiving to New Year this year and spending some extra time with my husband and work on this quilting project of my own. Thanks for sharing. Diana
I have made a few different ones following your technique and some I straight stitched and others I did a almost satin stitch zig-zag. Using the Heat & Bond gives you a 'cleaner' and easier to cut in the tips or small areas, then when I did it without H&B. What I really love about this (not being very artistic) is that no 2 are the same and you are only limited by your imagination! It makes a great runner and place mats! I have even sewed scraps together to make colourful strips and used that under the top black.
Surprised by the title! The reverse applique I've seen is pretty time intensive...what would spark Rob's attention to that?! Well, no surprise...you found a fast, fun way to make it easier and so creative! Great job :-)
love it Rob, so easy, thought it would be so hard when I first saw them so I just sandwiched mine and going to sew it now, thank you so much for showing it!
Hi, I'm Kari, and I saw you w. The gal on Missouri Star Quilt Co. Loved ya.... SO, I checked out your vids and they're Great hun! Ima follower now xx Kari
I also just started applique, made an owl panel, not a great sew'r but I'm a good enough artist to make sellable street art quilts from scraps, I even drawer on fabric if I'm missing a peice & make it the new centre peice. thanks for the tips. ONLY REAL MEN SEW
Thank you so much Rob for your very interesting tutorial, by the way, I had an ice coffee as here in France, we have now about 100° farenheit temperature
Rob, I love this tut!! I also love the shirt and the others you wear in your tutorials, can you disclose where you get them??? One more thing, I sooo agree with you when it comes to having a fun project you can work on while doing something labor intensive. I think it helps you enjoy both of them more! Love your energy!!!!
Hello! Thank you for tuning in! You can find all of Rob's Man Sewing apparel at Missouri Star Quilt Co. Here is a link to all of the swag: www.missouriquiltco.com/shop/browse?q=man%20sewing
This is my favorite tutorial of yours because it is a technique that I have never heard of, and I'm really excited to try it. I would love to be entered into your giveaway for the cordless iron. :)
Rob I am not sure if you're still checking this. You are just fabulous! You got me into quilting and my friend would love this for her wedding. But I need to know if you can wash this type of quilt? Would it do for a throw on a bed?
Just what I needed! I have a panel project for my guilting guild and had no ideas at all. We are supposed to use applique, etc. I'm going to be using reverse applique.

I think I'm going to try writing my name using this technique and hang it up in my office space!

The making was as cool as it is in the tutorial.

Sheri Sterling thanks a million for watching! I'm glad you agree with me on this one! I hope you have fun making this!
I SOO get the small project, mid HUGE project...it's a big deal for me creatively. I love this tutorial! Nice and easy, with a big impact!
Cheryl Land thank you!!! I have so many of these small projects to probably equal a few HUGE projects but they're just so much fun to stop!!
This is a free spirit technique. Thanks Rob, cannot wait to see what is next!
This a great idea. I have never done this before. A must try on a small scale. Thanks so much for sharing.
Ronda Bergeron thanks for watching the tutorial, so glad you liked this one!!
Absolutely brilliant Rob

This is a beautifully presented video! Thank you!
I am so glad I stumbled upon this channel. You make your videos fun to watch and I love how you have so much energy and make it fun. Keep it up!! 😊

Great Project

I am going to try this and thanks so much for showing me how to do it
Audrey Daigle sweet!!! I can't wait to see pictures!
