Great video! I can imagine so many different uses for this. This made the favorites list.

I'm doing my gcse notes from this for fashion and textiles it's very easy video to follow xx

[@Dakota-Rose]

I'm new with this so I'm learning as I go. I'm dutch and noticed there are more american/english tutorials. I find your channel very clear and good to follow since english is my second language. So my compliments and thank you for inspiring and sharing! :)

[@ProfessorPincushion]

I'm so glad you're finding our tutorials helpful! Thanks for watching :)

[@DamarisTemi]

Great Idea! I will surely try this idea

TYSM for this video! Just what I needed for my Homework

[@bcran6691]

Question: Why wouldn't you just cut out the shape first and just patch the contrasting fabric under it? Wouldn't that be easier? Just wondering. Thank you so much for posting!

[@ProfessorPincushion]

+B Cran you could, it just requires more precision in cutting out your fabric and the fabric in the back can also function as a sort of lining to cover up seam allowances.

Great clear tutorial, thanks

[@TigerWild1]

Great video. My question is why can't the shape be cut, and folded back then sowed before the other fabric is added, wouldn't it be easier? Thank you!

[@ProfessorPincushion]

you could if you want but I like mine secured to my contrasting fabric, so when I'm sewing my last edgestitch, I'm sewing through all layers.

[@marianargzlzn]

I've tried to do the way you say TigerWild, and it doesn´t work well, because the shape can move while you are sewing to the bottom fabric, and ends up looking twisted. One of the two fabrics will gather or stretch, and your original shape won't look the way you wanted. That is the reason why embroidery machines use frames to fix the fabric before sewing anything.

Thank you for such a clear tutorial! I've always been intimidated with reverse applique, but this looks like something I could totally do!! :) I know this is a silly question, but what fabric marker is that? It's water soluble, I'm guessing? I do a lot of hand embroidery, and am always looking for good markers!!

[@ProfessorPincushion]

SmittenKittenKat yes it is water soluble. I'm using this one. I've been pretty happy with it. www.sewingmachinesplus.com/dritz-673-60.php

Thank you SO much for responding so quickly! I'm getting one right now. Thanks again!

Much needed tutorial

[@sebastianpalmberg1465]

Thanks for a great tutorial! However, I have a few questions since I am totally new to all of this. First, I am wondering whether you have only sewed one straight stitch (the one which is shown in the video) on your finished reverse applique in this video? Furthermore, is it this that you call an edgestitch (below in the comments)? I was left somewhat confused since you mention something about a contrasting thread in the end of the video, however, I am not sure whether you have added it in this tutorial. Basically, I am asking these questions because to me, your tucked in edges look different and very tidy on the finished applique compared to previously in the video, where you are pinning everything in place etc. Furthermore, I wonder if you could give any good tips on how to improve my own reverse applique, since I did a chevron shape following more or less your tutorial, but I am not entirely satisfied with the corners, as there is less and less fabric to tuck under the closer you get to the sharp corners. Consequently, you can see some of the fabric in the corners. (see link for picture of my result to the idea: i60.tinypic.com/211jww9.jpg) Thanks in advance!

[@ProfessorPincushion]

Yes, it's one and the same. I only sewed the one stitch after I turned the raw edge underneath (besides the basting stitch at beginning). This stitch can be done with a contrasting thread if you want the stitch to pop out more like an outline. I hope this clears it up for you. :)

[@sewsewseamstress2575]

I think what would have helped you with the folding is probably cutting less fabric so instead of 1/4 in you could have 1/2 in of fabric to use in the fold. With folding like this more is better

[@bridginaodonovan6721]

I shred this, thanks

[@adornitgirls]

Brilliant!

[@MrCharliesangel]

This is giving me ideas...

[@ProfessorPincushion]

we want to inspire :)

[@costuraforte2011]

Você poderia causar no coração um efeito 3D, se coloca-se um enchimento nele. Mas é uma boa técnica, muito bom.

[@quiltedbrownie]

Yes, trapunto. But you’d need to sew a 3rd fabric in - behind the heart in this instance - to hold the “filler”, as you say.

[@neveenjo5398]

Tigerwild i was thinking the same,I think it would be easier but every one has his own way

[@quiltedbrownie]

The result may not look as good 🤔 … would be interesting to try both ways & see

[@0JReynolds]

Love this idea, it's so easy

[@ProfessorPincushion]

It is easy but still looks impressive :)

[@ceceescobar]
