Welcome back to month #2 of the LOVE Sampler quilt along.
This month we will be trying some fusible applique and finishing the edge with a satin stitch. Fusible applique is a fast, fun, forgiving method of applique that I love.
Hearts are a great practice shape. You have straight edges, inner curves and outer curves to practice on.
Missed blocks can be purchased in my PatterSpot shop HERE
Helpful tips:
1. When appliques are layered always start your stitching with the back shape first moving forward in order of the layered shapes. Let you start and stop overlap approx. 2 stitches. This will bury your starts and stops under the next round of stitching and keep the neat layered look of the shapes.
2. Special technique for pivoting while satin stitching.
Link up and share your blocks from month #1 below.
