How to Make a Freestyle Applique Landscape

[@rayyana723]

Why are people disliking this video ITS GREAT really helped if you dont like it get over it no need to dislike it there is nothing wrong with it very informative

[@carolannrobertson8022]

Love this technique and how you explain it so clearly!! Miss your man-seeing videos!!!

[@carenallen5841]

Heat and bond...can’t live without it👍

[@nancydublin9666]

Rob, I like this landscaping. It's funny because I was just thinking about doing something with landscape in it. Different blocks, different landscapes. Thanks for sharing. :) Now, all I have to do is figure out the supplies I'll need.

[@jimsqueenie]

Thank you for all your teachings. My husband loves watching you, also. I am teaching him to piece and quilt!! He is a natural as he built two of our homes---one was a cabin in the mountains of the Sierras.

[@petmomful2260]

Very cool! I like this freestyle method. I am making a wall hanging with a big tree, birds in the tree, and flowers on the ground. This really helped me; I can add some hills and pine trees in the background! I am not using templates, except for the tree; I want to freestyle it and just let my creativity flow. I have discovered that I am too dependent on patterns and I want to be a little more creative. Thanks a bunch and keep the videos coming! I really enjoy them. My momma taught me to sew years ago, but she did not teach me all these cool artistic things!

[@zenmama4991]

See? There you go being fabulous again... making imagination run rampant! I did a wall hanging years ago that was similar but add elk, bear and moose... Surely could have used that cutter!!! I feel another wall hanging coming on! Thanks Rob for all you do... this is complete awesomeness!

Great info. Love your work. Someday I'm gonna try it.

[@lorettamaines8998]

I love your idea of adding netting to the applique. Will be glad to see a video on that technique.

[@karenherman8653]

On my way to my sewing room to make a landscape.you are a great teacher!

[@pennykehus2309]

This is incredible. I’m certainly going to try it!

[@choochoobruemmer4658]

Love it . Never thought I could do an "Art Quilt" but now it is possible. Thanks for your excellent tutorials

[@ManSewingVids]

It's not as hard as it looks! I hope you give it a try!

[@bobbieparsons1917]

Thanks so much Rob for outlaying the basics so well. Your easy explanation has inspired this newbie to give it a go.

[@ManSewingVids]

Awesome, Bobbie! I hope you have fun sewing!

[@bettyhill9403]

You are a true artist! Thank you!

[@irenahayner1184]

I have learned SO much from you, and you have helped me relax and try new landscape ideas, as well as stained glass applique ideas. But I must know, because nobody else anywhere seems to know and you know everything: how can I applique fog? I want to add fog to a mountainous or ocean landscape, but cutting it out is just too solid. I need wispy fog. Thanks for any idea you might have!

[@beautifulquilts1217]

Thanks for all the detailed tips on how to add realism

[@loiswillingham7395]

Hey Rob. because of your tutorials I have finished 3 quilts and am working on a celtic pattern and am free style in the large areas in the center of the squares. Thank you for all the inspiration.

[@choochoobruemmer4658]

wow I love this!!! keep doing landscape quilts so we can learn more of your tips and use what you have taught us already in different situations. Keep them coming! great positive energy too.

I love your enthusiasm! You've inspired me to work on my "UFO'S" this Fall and Winter! Especially my landscaping quilts! And we loved you in Florence, Oregon! You ARE an amazing teacher/Dr. :)

[@ManSewingVids]

Thank you so much! I'm happy to hear you are working on those UFOS....I hope you have fun! :)

[@kimberlyduncan1053]

I can't thank you enough for showing this!! I've always wanted to do landscape quilts but I didn't know how to start or what to do. You have really made me feel like it's relatively easy to do. Could you please show how you see it together? Your tips are always good & I'm sure you would give great advice on doing it the best way possible. Thank you for giving me the confidence to try these!!!

[@lindarichard7507]

Nancy and Ann I also thought the same thing... A YOUNG Bob Ross with FABRICS... keep it up young man.... 🤗

[@susanpalmer1875]

The ripples on the bottom of the rocks is a great technique, thanks.

[@susanabanana2024]

thank you again,. This tutorial inspired me to think "outside the box" by using a fusible interfacing/stabilizer to create my own saiboat and create a quilt block; the fabric sews very nicely. I still have my water portion remaining, but just wanted to thank you. I thought I could share a pic, but that's ok. thank you for your tutorials.

[@ManSewingVids]

Thank you so much for your kind words, Susie! Glad to hear that this tutorial was helpful! Thanks for tuning in!

[@MsTerryG1]

I can't wait to try this.

[@dinhthibuon6357]

[@jenniferknowles7219]

Thank you so much for this video! I love appliqué art quilts and this and your self portrait idea are similar to what I really want to do. Thanks for your help! I'm a happy subscriber!

[@lynnstratton2890]

Thank you, Rob, I really think I want to try landscape quilting now!!!!

[@99rylee]

[@HWolfe]

Wow, this is gorgeous. I have to try this on my new machine. thanks for the inspiration.

[@linall2345]

LOVE this tutorial and my shark cutter!! Thank you for showing this. It answers so many questions for me.

[@ireneblackie2604]

Thank you so much for this tutorial, I have not been quilting long but this technique is exactly what I so keen to try 👍🏻👍🏻

[@traceybradshaw6558]

I love this technique ! You should write a book showing how you do this !

[@mary-katemunro9024]

so many tips & tricks!

[@jewelhyun2416]

Love it! always wanted to make an "art" quilt but never had courage. NOw I can attempt to make one. I enjoy all other quilt tutorials of you put out. Keep up your good tutorials for people like me. "Strawberry" Jewel

[@store.full.of.treasures]

Thanks for your awesome vedeo. 👍😘

[@virginia7191]

Great video! I have been wanting to do a landscape but wasn't sure where to start. Thanks for all the great tips!

[@CloudyWishes]

I love it Rob

[@annking7730]

I'm so glad I came across your channel. Never seen this before but I'm an instant fan and subscriber

[@ManSewingVids]

Thank you so much for joining us on Man Sewing! Hope you enjoy the tutorials! :)

[@AdiarraS]

Super freaking awesome tutorial!!! I LOVE the tool. That little shark cuts like a DREAM!! I love love love it. Thanks for another fantastic tutorial! :)

[@ManSewingVids]

So glad you enjoyed it!

[@jenihansen7201]

THIS WAS GREAT. MORE PLEASE ?

[@bq1428]

Awesome I hope I can do this ❤️😉

[@Wanda6308]

I call this painting with fabric, looks fun

[@jmdenison]

great job. beautiful artwork!

[@SandraNispel]

Excellent video and techniques! Very simple and easy to follow. I just follow a different colour idea: the farther away something is, the lighter the colour. As you get closer to the foreground, the darker/more intense the colours get, the more detail I add. Does that make sense?

[@Angel-yl1ck]

Your vids are so inspiring. I really enjoy watching them. And, I've learned a lot!

[@Happybidr]

I am excited to see this as I've been looking for a unique quilting project to do next. These are really amazing and beautiful.

[@ManSewingVids]

I can't wait to see what you create! Have fun quilting!

[@idawallace7775]

loved it! Thanks so much for the tips, we need more of this.

[@tanyaphinney9719]

Rob, I love watching you do any of your video's. I get so motivated after I have viewed them. This one really did it for me, but I was wondering if you can guide me to "how to stitch " these once they are cut/layed out. Do you have a video on that if not can you show us how! Want one of your Shark Applicuters and as soon as they come in I will order.

[@debco12]

Thank you for this! I always wanted to do one of these.

[@patrice8257]

Kay? love it!!

[@lindaagnello4181]

Next video - show us the fusing process you use - and the free motion/thread painting process for this project. Cutting out the shapes and setting the scene is great, but how do you put it all together on the background?

[@rosaliamartinez6943]

OMG your the best 😎

[@ladyd54]

Thanks for the great video, for I've been wanting to do a wall quilt with hard and soft scape in it. Here's a suggestion for your background fabric, take some freezer paper and iron it to the back of your fabric, it will give you some stability while you are creating your landscape and can be removed later, this is one of the ways for hand Appliqué.

[@ManSewingVids]

Thanks for sharing, Linda!

[@farmgirlw837]

Hi Rob. Hoping you can help me. I am making a throw landscape quilt with applique pieces on top of a pieced background. There are many applique pieces, many small. I would like to use a stabilizer behind the background fabric so that I can stitch the appliques on top to stabilize them prior to putting all the sections together and then making the quilt sandwich for top quilting. What stabilizer would you recommend? I would prefer to avoid having to tear away or cut away alot of stabilizer and was wondering if the washable stabilizer would work. would that type of stabilizer be ok to leave in with the quilt sandwich? I did try asking the nice folks at MSQ but customer service had no idea what to use. Love your tutorials and keep up the good work:)

[@wakanavkirachel8068]

THANK YOU!!!!!

[@donnacamp5663]

want the tool but it was out right now can't wait till it comes in love applique I am working on Something Fishy

[@jenn9579]

I am not an artist at all but would love to do this. I have trouble with scaling and shading items. Any tips on how to do this or should I take an art class? LOL!

[@azurafae]

I to see how you sew around the applique edges. I'd love to buy one of those tiny rotary cutters.

[@ManSewingVids]

We are hoping to have the Shark Applicutter back in stock by April. Put it on your wishlist (follow the link in the description) and we will send you and email as soon as it comes off the truck!

[@bridgetteclark9962]

Hi Rob Appell, what is the type of paper you used on the back of the fabric and did you iron your pieces in place after removing the paper? Thank you for the intro to this type of appliqué.

[@Raci570]

I just bought a Shark Applicutter rotary cutter online, but it doesn't seem to cut as easily and cleanly as yours does, Rob. Are your blades sharper for some reason or are you bearing down really hard while you're cutting?

[@janedeskis6516]

Hi Rob, I have two landscape quilts to make for friends. One is part of a queen size quilt. As you know I zigzagged the lion quilt recently, but don't want to do that on these art quilts. Do you think the raw edges will hold with straight stitching in the wash, or should I plan to toole over the top? I'm so glad I have my Sharky. Jane D.

[@ManSewingVids]

Hi Jane! There is a good chance that the edges will fray in the wash so the tule is a great work around to satin stitching eveything. It may still fraye a bit, but the threads should stay nice under the netting. Hope you have fun creating this with your Sharky! :)

[@tlcshandmadehayloft1448]

love love love your teachings rob. I hope you can help with my question and possibly do a tutorial on this. I like to paint, and emborder...and of course quilt. I like to use intricate coloring book pages as my transfer. For instance , we have work horses to do our farmwork, and i have found a coloring book with these horses that are working in a field, and they have very intricate pieces to the harnes that they are wearing. and colors, and bridals, and very thin lines. I want to make a quilt with these pages. what is the best way to transfer, cut and sew all of this? Please help!!!

[@artistmama1]

When you quilt the applique, are you ignoring the outer edges of each applique piece? If so, wouldn't this encourage the appliqued pieces to start fraying at the edges? Or do you cover the entire quilt with tulle fabric before quilting?

[@NancyLarsen13]

You kind of remind me of Bob Ross in this episode... but with fabric instead of paint! especially when you said happy little trees!!

[@ManSewingVids]

HAHA this seriously made me laugh out loud! Thank you for that! :)

[@annhaynesparker]

Nancy Larsen As I was listening, I was thinking the same thing!

[@jmdenison]

I gotta say, Bob Ross was wonderful! You too.

[@shirleyalbright1197]

Nancy Larsen az waaaaaaaaÀ. aa

[@jimsqueenie]

I used to watch Bob Ross with a girlfriend that painted----I don't paint. But, I piece and quilt and I love this idea. I just don't have much of an imagination so I would have to follow someone to do it!!

[@emilywong4601]

Painting and drawing with fabric!!!!

[@anneanderson3823]

Where can I get the cutter.

[@jenniferlieb5351]

Hi,just wondered where to get the tool? I dont do facebook.

[@jenniferfarsh675]

Rob, this is amazing. Would this be considered an "Art Quilt"? I am interested in making an Art Quilt.. but not sure where to start. :)

[@ManSewingVids]

I would definitely consider this an art quilt!

[@emilywong4601]

Is the tshirt he is wearing for sale?

[@LindaMZH65]

I enjoy your videos and I have one suggestion that you may already have made but while watching this video I kept screaming at you to make yourself a portable design board. It would have come in handy when you kept moving the project back and forth. Thanks from Canada!

[@ManSewingVids]

Hi Linda! Thank you so much for tuning into the Man Sewing tutorials. That sounds like a handy project. :)

[@RondaWhitman-b8p]

What is the name of the cutting tool?

[@mary-katemunro9024]

I wanna find out how to get that cutter.... but I can't take my eyes away from the tutorial....

[@ManSewingVids]

The cutter is currently out of stock, but we will be getting them back in stock hopefully before April. If you follow the link in the description you can add the Shark Applicutter to your wishlist and as soon as we get them back in we will send you an email to notify you! :)

[@mary-katemunro9024]

[@heartnsew5999]

U make all fun, hope ur a Christian, a child of God.

[@Beazers1]

Highlight those trees, to show us the cuts by putting something light behind them instead of the black mountains. Easier to see.

[@kimberlyduncan1053]

Sew not see! Auto correct!
