If I fuse cotton pieces for applique, I do a machine button hole stitch that is very close together. Holds up well.
I like the design you have going in the first picture. Good use of strips.
More scrapping adventures from Julie! I was wondering how you are getting on in the sleep department? have you found anything that helps?
Lovely little quilt beginnings. :) Love the finished piece. I prefer needleturn applique, although I do use fusible for wool.
You know that I love scrappy and your blocks and "play layouts" are tugging at my heart. Nice job.
So many cute scrappy projects! I love them all! I have always done needle turn applique.
Your little scraps are having fun playing together. I'm a needleturner for cottons and a fusible buttonholer when it comes to wool. Good things there are options.
You are having WAY too much fun, Julie! Such delightful scrap concoctions. : )
I only do wool applique, so I don't have an opinion, but I'm thinking that if it is a wall hanging, I might decide not to wash it. Bed quilts may not enjoy that luxury.
I have mixed feelings about the blanket stitch ....sometimes I love it but not when the fabric frays.
That plastic container looks like the one that our saline flushes come in :-)
Not an expert on applique technique but it sure is a lovely little quilt. Love the scrappy looks of the other little quilts. Have fun.
Great New projects, have a lot of fun playing with it. I usully handapplique, have done one top with blnketstitch, which I am quilting at the moment. But I do linke handapplique better.

i am so curious about this because i do tons of machine appiqued button hole stitched quilts. do you remember which fusible you used? The only time i have problems is when my needle is dull or not the right size, too big or small. I am having trouble finding many fusible options here. anyway, love your projects! thanks.
oh of course I just love your little quilts! I haven't made a spool quilt yet am inspired too now that you showed these beautiful blocks from Linda, that was so kind of her.
sorry to hear about the appliqué shrinking I only do needle turn appliqué now. I use to do a lot of machine buttonholing and I used the lite wonder under and always cut away any extra of the paper so used very little of the wonder under, it was important that it was the lite though.
have fun!!!! playing with scraps is addictive isn't it?

I'm a meticulous button hole stitcher, however, I no longer use this technique on quilts, just wallhangings, for that very reason. I figure wallhangings won't need to stand up the the washing and drying that quilts do. I use Scotchguard on my wallhangings to make them easier to keep free of dust so they don't have to be thrown into a washer quite so often.
You always have such great projects, and get so much done! Fun!
Love the little mini quilt esp.--so sweet.
Great scrappy quilts! I had a chuckle when I saw your 9 patches in the white container. I recognize that container, as I have a few myself! They are packaging for 10cc saline flushes aren't they? They make great trays for small pieces for hand sewing and to store blocks less than 9 inches square! Love em!
I love the first little quilt you pictured - might have to make one for myself! I love needleturn, but am very happy with invisible machine applique too. Very rarely do I use fusible - for just the reason you mentioned!
I gave up hand button hole applique a long time ago as I dont like fuse web. I enjoy needle turn applique but dont often find the time for it. So if I have to applique I have been doing machine applique. Which to be honest isnt very much "fun". I dont have a wool collection but if I did, then I would be happy to do hand button hole, and just pin it into place, and skip the fuse web, think it will wash well, look and feel good and be fun to do!
I haven't done hand buttonhole for some time, but I will only use that on something that won't be washed much. A fusible might help the shrinkage and raveling. Great projects!
You are so darn creative, Julie!! Love seeing how you play with all the little bits and pieces. I haven't done much applique except needle turn, so am not much help there. Your pieces/blocks are looking wonderful!
