OMG, I am so happy I found you Kathy, Thank You!! I went to an applique class and we were not shown any of these techniques. My goodness I am so happy to have been looking for more applique videos nd found you , so much information thank you. I will be trying these ideas for sure.

Definitely Beyond The Best Teacher!!! I learned a LOTT❤❤

[@dianamarlowe3352]

I've added this to my 830 embroidery group. Thank you for your wonderful instructions

[@evelynwald9132]

Oh my gosh is this a fabulous video. You are an exceptional teacher, not only because you explain things so well, but the little tips that are sprinkled in to make an appliqué technique go from what a beginner would do to how a professional would handle it, are wonderful. On top of that, your tips are very easy to follow and practical. You are a Bernina angel. Have some housework to do before I can sit down at my own machine just to try out your tips - which means I will be watching again as I was unloading my dishwasher while watching this😊. Thank you for taking the time to make this video.❤

[@lauriebeth59]

Ms Gina I love your precision and detailed instructions! Thank you so much!

[@audreyweigel4620]

I am new to applique. You went slow enough that I could take extensive notes. Thorough enough that I did not miss a step. I am grateful.

[@tracylowe9570]

Fabulous instructions! Thank you 😊

[@LauraElston-r3r]

Very good lesson!

[@deborahcollins5819]

[@lstevens2642]

Being a brand new quilter I have not ever done appliqué. This video helped so much. Thank you!

[@maureenhebert7673]

Thank you so much. You are very clear and your pace is wonderful. I find some of the other tutorials speak much too fast and I have to replay a section several times. Your timing is perfect. Glad I found you.

[@ellenpringle5582]

Thanks for the great tips embroidery lace ornaments at holiday now want to applique on fabric

[@cynthiaputnam5538]

Wow. You are the best in explaining. I have learned so much. Thank you. I love watching you demonstrate.

[@deborahomori4995]

I appreciate the thorough explanations and the nurturing manner you explained everything on this video. Your instructions were thoughtful and oh so helpful.I learned several new tricks today that have made such a difference with my machine appliqué.

[@catherinereilly1330]

I like your clear, concise and relaxed approach which is reassuring to us less experienced sewers. Your Bernina sounds so quiet - what is the model number?

[@estellesaltzman2646]

I love your tutorial - it was clear and so informative - and you are an excellent teacher! Thank you for taking me from step A to Z!

[@labolodia]

Thank You for sharing! great video

[@alicefoster1340]

Thank you Kathy, Loved the tip about the corners. I have admired your work for years. What a gift you have.

[@ginasberninasewingcenter2375]

Thank you Alice. You are too kind.

[@SuperHotwater1]

Thank you so much for your patient teaching technique. I am new to doing anytime of applique and am trying in on a baby blanket currently. Although my machine is not a Bernina, I can use your technique and am sure to be proud of my work.

[@cherylcentenioblessedvirgi3241]

Thank you for sharing your techniques for sewing appliques.

[@ginasberninasewingcenter2375]

You are so welcome. Thank you for watching and taking the time to comment.

[@jodiradelet6131]

[@annbrown3769]

Very good teacher. I love how you thought

[@debrad5783]

Thank you for this very thorough tutorial. I searched and searched for a video that talked about thread and needles :)

[@J-UK62]

Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge and expertise. Thanks for the detailed explanation which is going to give me the confidence to have a go at machine appliqué.

[@carolg.6838]

10 minutes through and subscribed. Learned so much already. I hadn't used Steam-a-Seam II yet and can see how helpful it can be. I look forward to seeing what other videos you have. I don't have a Bernina, but expect that some info might be universal. In reading other comments, I agree that your verbal and camera skills for teaching are very clear and detailed.

[@ginasberninasewingcenter2375]

Thank you so much for subscribing. I’ve had to take a little time off but should be back at making videos soon I hope. Feel free to post any questions you might have.

[@lynnowen8171]

I just enjoyed this video. You are great at teaching. I feel I can give applique a try. Thank you.

[@ginasberninasewingcenter2375]

Thank you for your comment. I hope it helped you and you enjoy doing appliqué. It’s one of my favorite things to do.

[@lindakauffmann3261]

I really appreciated watching this video even though I do not have a Bernina. The clear descriptions for technique and tips for sewing are so helpful for any machine. Thank you for slowing down the process with great explanations and good camera angles.

[@ginasberninasewingcenter2375]

Oh thank you so much. I really appreciate you letting me know I’m doing an okay job.

[@donnahaft9433]

Thank you so much for your kind and patient instruction. I am an intermediate advanced quilter, but new to appliqué. It has filled in a lot of blanks for me. Great to know more about thread choices and Steam a Seam too. Now I just have to get that machine, I love it! I think your tips will step up my appliqué skills right away. Thank you!

[@barbaracastle1690]

Thanks for showing the little blind appliqué foot. I wish I had known how to use the steam a seam with this foot awhile back when I had a bunch of circles to appliqué. Also, the satin stitch corners. Genius!

[@ginasberninasewingcenter2375]

You are so welcome. I am so glad you found it helpful.

[@faeriepabich6414]

Kathy, we moved to Texas from Knoxville 7 years ago, and I had the great pleasure of taking several classes from you back then. I just found this channel today and I am thrilled! There is no place been close to Gina’s in DFW, and I miss ya’ll every day. Thank heavens for technology…I feel like I have found my way home! So good to learn from you again!❤️

[@ginasberninasewingcenter2375]

How are you??? It’s so good to hear from you. I’m glad you found us. I’ve not been able to add more videos due to my husband being ill but I hopefully will be posting again in a couple of weeks. Let me know if you need anything.

[@karengardiner75]

Thank you so much for being so informative of every step. Your a great a Teacher. I’m new to Appliqué.

[@ginasberninasewingcenter2375]

Thank you for watching and I appreciate you kind comments.

[@patphares6258]

Excellent tutorial! ❤

[@chantelobrien4572]

This video was exactly what I was looking for! Thank you for your help!

[@kathleenmahan462]

This tutorial was so very helpful & succinct. I made a mini-house banner for my grandson & appliquéd Jack’s Room on each piece. It came out beautifully. He loved it ❤️ Thank you.

[@deborahsnyder9199]

I learned so much, thank you very much

[@barbarahillegass2135]

Just found your video! Excellent instruction ♥️ Appliqué is my favorite quilt process and I have been doing it for years but....I just learned SEW much. I cannot thank you enough for all the detailed information you shared. Thank you! Thank you!

[@ginasberninasewingcenter2375]

You are so very welcome. I’m so glad you found it helpful. Thank you so much for watching and taking the time to comment.

[@flybabykat]

I live several states away and visited your shop one time during Row by Row. I am thrilled to have found this video as I am pulling my hair out with applique right now. You are so calm, clear and thorough in your instruction. Just what I need!! I have an 880AE and am doubly thankful that you did the lesson on your 880. I have subscribed and am looking forward to finding more of your videos. Thank you so very, very much!!!

[@ginasberninasewingcenter2375]

Thank you so much. I am so glad you are enjoying seeing the 880 machine in the videos. I want people to see just what a fabulous machine the 880 is. Thank you also for subscribing and please let me know if you have any questions. Kathy

[@katephilips1794]

Hi Kathy, this tutorial was 9 months ago. I always learn something new from them. Thank you so much. Love, Kate P. I'm off to Jonesborough for a class tomorrow, 10-18-21. Hope things are tolerable for you. Bye!

[@ginasberninasewingcenter2375]

Hello my sweet Kate. I hope you have a wonderful time in Jonesboro.

[@karoligou]

Love love love this tutorial!!! Thanks so much for being so through in your explanation of things. I’m very new to sewing and you are so easy to understand!! Thanks so much and have a wonderful day!

[@ginasberninasewingcenter2375]

You are so kind to comment and let me know that my instructions are clear. That's always a concern when you're not in a classroom where students can ask questions. Thank you so much for watching and leaving a comment.

[@pattyward8898]

I will definitely follow your tutorials, since I kind of stay away from too much appliqué. Practice makes perfect, I know.

[@joannbishop892]

This is the first time I’ve seen your channel. I really enjoyed it. I wish there was someone like you that would teach how to use the embroidery feature on a Bernina QE 440 machine. I bought the machine several years ago, and the embroidery feature came with it as a bonus because they were changing models. I hadn’t even considered embroidery before. I wish it wouldn’t have even came with it because it has cost me quite a bit of money on patterns and such that I don’t even know how to use. Of all the you tube channels I have watched, no one teaches how to embroidery with this machine in detail like you did. Very good job. Yes if you know anyone that knows how to teach the 44 QE talk them into making a KZbin.

[@karenlukas1222]

Thank you for this excellent lesson. I’m a new, slightly awe-struck Bernina user and learned “sew” much with this video-from product selection to navigation to technique. I have much to learn and your clear and concise instruction makes my learning curve less daunting!

[@klmartin1756]

So helpful! Love all the details!

[@ginasberninasewingcenter2375]

So glad you found it helpful. I appreciate you watching.

[@lorrainesilva1870]

First time for me seeing one of your videos. EXCELLENT! You are a marvelous instructor. Thank you so much. I will need to check my B560 to see if it has the securing stitches. Wish you were my Bernina dealer.

[@naomim5015]

very helpful. Thank you.

[@Angel283]

THANK YOU!!!! You have helped me twice today my friend!!! I didn't even know there was a satin stitch, I was trying to do it by just adjusting the standard zigzag and it never turns out like I want. Thank you for these videos!!!! They help us all!!! It was SO SO SO GOOD to see you this morning!!!!!! Love you Kathy :)

[@ginasberninasewingcenter2375]

You are so welcome. It was great to see you to girl.

Thank you Kathy, this has been so helpful to me.

Great information, thank you 😊

[@ginasberninasewingcenter2375]

Thank you fir watching Katherine.

[@cherylmazzoncini280]

Very informative thank you

[@Countrymeesa]

Super helpful!!

[@BrendaJones-m3w]

Excellent!!!

[@AdelardRen]

I've never sewn applique, but somehow got it in my head that an applique quilt would be a great gift for a nephew due in a few months. That corner trick is brilliant, as in my practicing, my corners all turn out quite ugly. Hopefully I'm a little closer to completing this project.

[@annieversteeg]

So educational! Thanks

[@ginasberninasewingcenter2375]

You are so welcome.

[@JB-mq1mi]

Super helpful, thank you! What machine are you using?

[@colleensmith9548]

Thank you for your lesson on applique. I have a major amount of applique to do on a hunting quilt -- lots of grasses and trees with individual branches. When reducing my stitch length and width to get a very tight applique stitch, I get bunched stitches underneath and then the fabric no longer moves --- it just sits there and more stitches pile up on top of each other for a REAL mess. I hate to lengthen width and length of the stitch because I want my satin stitch to really be solid -- one of the fabrics frays a lot. What do I need to do to prevent this bunching of stitches? Thank-you for your help. Colleen

[@jeane.2722]

Thank you so much!

[@pattikelley4840]

This helped so much thank-you! I was really struggling with my new 880 and the computer aspect. You answered so many of my questions. Tie off , stabilizer and thread. I’m not sure what you did to get it to tie knot at beginning of sewing but I’m hoping I can figure it out. I have 30 butterflies ready to appliqué and feel it will go much better now. Yesterday was full of tears, frustration and failure. New day and Gina to the rescue! ❤️

[@bonnieambrose6569]

Love the video. Can the 23 foot "feel" the edge of the fabric when using steam a seam? I love applique and has explained quite a bit of where I'm going wrong! Thanks.

[@winningnumbers]

Are the feed dogs up or down?

[@prosperity.]

hi can you tell me what base fabric your using is it a white cotton? and do you recommend to starch it before appliqueing?

[@thusithaamarathunga308]

Thankyou 🌷

[@sisa31608]

Hallo, bleibt die Oberfadenspannung gleich oder weniger? Danke.

[@scrapsandcats]

I sure have been using Steam A Seam incorrectly, or has it just changed? WowA You have a wonderful caring approach to teaching. You speak slowly and laugh at things instead of being too serious about it. I wish I'd found you long ago! Is the design book you were using still in print? I couldn't find it on Amazon'

[@mturner1004]

Can you write the name of the product you use to trace the design on. I don't understand exactly what you are saying & where I can get it? Thank you.

[@Emtinnie.garden]

Hello, from what I understand and researched, it should be steam-a-seam

[@sue8319]

Thank you for this demo. I can use some of them with my machine, not an 880

[@ginasberninasewingcenter2375]

You are so welcome. Thank you for watching.

[@mariafurey5431]

Newbie question…do you have to use the sticky paper to appliqué or can you just cut your shapes and stitch?

[@j.diazderada965]

No podrían poner la traducción en español también. Me encantan estos videos porque yo compre una Bernina pero todas estas cosas que Vds. ponen no las se hacer y necesito por lo menos leer como las hacen. Gracias espero que tome en consideraciño esta petición.

[@pattireid5396]

Can you please tell me what Bernini machine you are using. It doesn't show in the video and I would like to upgrade my Aurora 440 QE.

[@pattireid5396]

I meant Bernina. My spellcheck has a mind of its own.

[@lindafisher-berlanga8551]

what are you using under your background fabric when you sew?

[@ginasberninasewingcenter2375]

I usually use a light weight tear away stabilizer when I am experiencing tunneling of the fabric die to the stitch width being used. There are lots of brands of embroidery stabilizer, I primarily use OESD products.

[@cherylbell7897]

Thank you. I learned a lot with your video. 1 question. Do you use the blind appliqué stitch on designs that are pointed and have a lot of corners?

[@ginasberninasewingcenter2375]

Absolutely Cheryl. The stitch is very tiny and works well on corners. The stitch itself has 5 straight stitches and one zig zag. You can adjust the stitch length to bring those zig zags closer together so turning a corner is easy. I also sometimes use stitch #3 on my Bernina which is actually an overlock stitch but the difference is that there are only three stitches between the zig zags. Adjust the width and length for the desired look and you have two stitch choices to choose from.

[@cherylbell7897]

@@ginasberninasewingcenter2375 thank you. One more question please. I have 2 Bernina’s a 440 and a 770QE. A have a walking foot that I use on the 440 but am considering a new one for the 770. Not sure if it’s a wise decision with already having the duel feed.

[@ginasberninasewingcenter2375]

I have found the walking foot beneficial on my larger quilt projects or bulkier items. You can never go wrong with a walking foot.

[@dnicely7444]

Maybe a tutorial on a machine that doesn't cost $17,000.

[@sarahpengelly8439]

Hahaaaa!

[@NajeInspired]

Good information but listening to all your mouth noises made it uncomfortable. Maybe the mic was too close to your mouth
