[@amara560]

The tutorial I've been waiting for! Thank you so much. So glad to see a new video from you. I always recommend your channel to beginners💚

[@planetjune]

Yay, you're welcome! Do let me know if there are other topics you'd like me to cover in future videos 😊

[@petrOlly]

Fantastic video, clear instructions as always. Looking at the blanket makes me want to make one - especially now, as it is getting colder ;)

[@odessa870]

Great point about staying well within the applique border to keep a clean finish. Thanks!

[@planetjune]

You're welcome!

Hi June Thank you for sharing these methods with us…I never thought about gluing down the appliqués, that’s a really ingenious idea. I look forward to seeing next video tutorial! Take care and stay safe and well. God bless 🙏🏼🧶💕😊

[@Lolaroseox]

How do you tie it off though? None of these videos show what you do when you finish sewing them into place!

[@planetjune]

If you're using a new length of yarn, you can tie both ends together (keeping the knot beneath the applique), otherwise you can knot the yarn around a loop of a stitch on the back of the applique. Then just weave in the end by passing it through a few stitches on the back of the applique, or between the two layers if you can't see to do that, then trim off the excess.

I was searching for a way to do this and came across your video and must say, your tutorial is amazing. I love how you inserted the diagrams while explaining the process. It was easy to learn and now I’m off to check out the rest of your channel. Thank you for taking the time to share your knowledge.

[@planetjune]

You're very welcome! Explaining things clearly is my goal with all my videos (and books, patterns, etc 😀)

[@stitchincindi]

Wonderful, thank you for this tutorial video!

[@silvercarolina4045]

Thanks for this video I’m going to finally buy some glue!😊

[@reenadactyl]

Do you have a tutorial for the orange starfish?

[@planetjune]

Yes! It's part of my Starfish Collection crochet pattern which you can find here: www.planetjune.com/shop/starfish-collection-four-crochet-patterns-p-327.html 🙂

[@nonhumanoid]

can this be applied on normal wool thread?

[@planetjune]

Yes, all these techniques can be used with any kind of yarn. (If you're unsure about your fabric glue, I recommended you test your specific glue on a small sample piece made from the same yarn you plan to use before trying it on your larger project!)

[@zarinsubah1121]

is there any video that shows how to make those appliques?

[@planetjune]

I'm so sorry I only just saw your comment! The PlanetJune crochet patterns shown in this video are all available at www.planetjune.com/attachapplique 😊

[@deenamosley5206]

Thaaank youuu!!!!!!

[@planetjune]

You're welcome! 😊

[@sativa7857]

does the glue method hold when washing?

[@planetjune]

If you buy the right glue (washable fabric glue) and follow the washing instructions on the bottle, then yes!

[@silviaberlanda278]

Does it also work with hot glue?

[@planetjune]

I wouldn't recommend it, for several reasons: hot glue dries hard, not flexible; your finished piece won't be washable; the heat of the glue may damage some types of yarn... Those may not be a problem for your project, and in that case my best advice would be to test the glue on some scrap pieces made from the same yarn and see if you're happy with the result before you use it on your actual project.

[@silviaberlanda278]

@planetjune thanks for the advice!! Do u know by any chance if it damages acrilic yarn?💗

[@planetjune]

I couldn't say for sure - the best idea would be to test that with your yarn and your glue gun!

[@hippyhair1920]

How do you tie it off

[@planetjune]

For either of the sewing methods, finish by fastening off securely, keeping the knot beneath the edge of the applique, then weave in the yarn end by passing it through the stitches on the back of your applique, so the end is trapped between the applique and the background.
