Here's another way to achieve a sketchy look for your applique. Needing no special feet or stitches this is a good starter for anyone feeling nervous about free-motion.

This method is so my favorite way to spend creative time! Thank you so much, I hope to see more videos from you to see what wonderful projects you are doing.

Nice. Thanks. You cracked me up when you said “ this is what happens when you break your needle threader.” My goodness don’t I know it. Mine gets bent out of line all the time.

Another way to practice free-motion is to "quilt from the back." Make some pot holders or placemats. Example, the front could be some 4- or 9-patch blocks in fall colors. Pick a backing that has a fall foliage pattern or fall flowers. Do your free motion or planned lines around some of the leaves/flowers. You don't have to be perfect, no one will know. Tie one leaf to the next using a looping, swirling line. On the front, all the viewer will see is nice connected shapes. They won't see the back at the same time, so if you miss a place here or there on a leaf or flower, no one will notice you weren't following any exact lines --- I did a whole quilt this way with leaves, and another with a pretty apple blossom fabric where I just picked out one blossom every 4-5 inches. It was random, and no one ever knew it wasn't planned. LOL

I love this! Can I ask what you are using on the back of your fabric? The stuff I am trying to use seems really flimsy.

Hi Dee I usually use either a stich'n'tear stabilizer (that means I can remove it after stitching so I can fray the edges which looks cute on linen) or if it's going to be stitched up as a cushion or something then I just use a medium weight iron on stabilizer. Xx

Hiya it's the Janome Atelier 7 (Skyline in US ) this feature is also on the 9450, CM7 and Atelier 9. If you have a knee lift option that will also leave both hands free. Xx

sorry to ask, is the fabric have a glue on it?
@sewingboxsomerset532811 ай бұрын
I usually use something like Bondaweb or Heat n Bond on bigger shapes as it keeps the fabric still. For little bits a dab of glue stick will do. Xx
