Great video. I also sew on Bernina's an tend to use my 23 foot, but I am going to try the 20. I have B350 for small stuff and the knee lift makes it easy to left and stitch and lift and stitch. Thanks again.
Hi Lori, I am machine appliquéing for a quilt. I am using designs I purchase then download them to a USB stick. What can I do to keep from puckering. It usually only puckers where there are actual embroidery stitches. I am using a heavy tear away stabilizer actually doubled. Do you have any suggestions?
Thank you. When you get your quilt quilted, do you get custom work down so your beautiful appliqué isn’t stitched over? Do you just quilt around the shapes, or do you quilt in the shapes too?
Joy Dickson Per Lori... Very sweet comments! I usually have the quilter go around my appliqués so that they really pop...especially these blocks that I’ve shown. But if the appliqué is a large piece then I have her quilt something inside of it.

Thank you for the tutorial, but I found it hard to see the machine stitching due to your camera being too far away. I also found that because you used fabric similar colour to your false nails it was at times difficult to distinguish what was going on.
First, you should tell all the trouble you went to by sewing your petals with two thickness of fabric and turning them inside our. Then you sew around with a straight stitch. Why:??? go to all that work , when you can iron heat and bond on the wrong side of your material so it won't fray, then applique on with an attractive blanket st. or zig-zag. Just my opinion.
I couldn’t see the stitches well, but got the ideas. Thanks for sharing and your inspiration!
This was a helpful tutorial, when to use same colored thread in bobbin was a good tip. Thank you!
These tutorials are so helpful! Makes me almost think that I can do this!
Thx, Lori! Love the nail polish 😁
What a pretty block. I've only done a blanket or satin stitch on appliqué. Definitely going to try the zigzag stitch.
Lori had a little quote that said, "When I grow up I want to be me," and I was thinking, "When I grow up, I want to be Lori, too!" :D
Thanks for the tutorial on machine appliqué....❤️

Are the feed dogs on the machine up or down? Thanks in advance for a reply.
Hello Fernando! The feed dogs are up. We only recommend dropping them for free motion quilting.
Thanks.@@FatQuarterShopTX
Do you ever use the blanket stitch on the machine for applique? I also find the knee lifter on the Bernina invaluable for machine applique.
Will the leaves fray if on a quilt I wash?
You didnt start from beginning? Do you use iron on interfacing on pieces??
Hello Jodi! Yes, she used interfacing: www.fatquartershop.com/lori-holt-sew-in-interfacing-st-4913
Thanks for this
Thank you Lori for the helpful tutorial. I’m going to use your tips on the zig zag length and width, also match my bobbin color😊

Do you ever use the blanket stitch to machine appliqué your pieces down?
Please let me know where you get/ name of flower shaped grid under your machine foot as it appears will help material move easier on curves

Ive got a brand new sewing machine a janome 740dc
It would be a little more helpful if you could do “close-ups” on the stitches
Sorry, can't see the stitching. But, the design is cute.
