The New Applique: Innovative Techniques, Easy Projects

Editorial Reviews
Book Description
Appliqué involves placing one layer of fabric over another and stitching it in place. Since the sewn layer can be virtually any shape, appliqué allows for far more visual possibilities than piecing, but traditional methods can be time-consuming. This book combines popular time-saving materials and methods such as fusible web, water-soluble fabric stabilizer, and machine stitching with fresh, simple techniques to create stunning projects such as multitextured quilt blocks and pillows. Twenty-five projects explore yarn coiling, felt layering, transparent collage, chenille appliqué, and designs inspired by traditional paper-cutting techniques from around the world. Offering crafters more challenges are additional projects that combine all the above techniques into 10 very unique designs. Over 100 beautiful color illustrations and photographs clearly illuminate these projects for both new and experienced quilters and crafters.
