Learn to appliqué the Piece O' Cake way! You will learn easy template making, how to make and use an overlay for appliqué, and, most importantly, the invisible appliqué stitch. I will help each student to perfect her (or his!) invisible appliqué stitch while working on the following techniques: curves, inner and outer points, cutaway appliqué, reverse appliqué, circles, two-part leaves, and more as time permits. Students perfect their technique while working on an 8" or 10" tulip block that can be made up into the little quilt shown on the supply list below. All skill levels or choose beginner/intermediate or advanced.
