How to Sew on Lace Applique

[@aiasjones7382]

I think this is the first time in a few months during my project work that I've googled something so specific as 'how to apply an applique' and actually found a comprehensive answer on the first result. Thank you! Really!

[@ProfessorPincushion]

glad to help out :D

[@clarencestokes4969]

UGHHHHH You don't understand how much you've saved my life. You spoke very clearly & made this seem sooo much easier than I expected. Im currently working on a gown and the entire bodice consists of about 15 appliqués. Yes its gonna be time consuming but the process of applying them is fairly easy. You're seriously a God send! Thank You!

[@MileyonDisney]

Just yesterday, I was looking at the lace trim on the bottom of a wedding dress and wondered how they made it look so good. Now I know! I can't tell you just how valuable your videos have been to me. I've watched them all and I know that my sewing has improved greatly from them. You explain and illustrate everything very clearly. You make it easy to understand, for us beginners. Thank you, Professor Pincushion!

[@laisoriano]

Thank you for your tutorial know sharing your knowledge! I am going to attempt to make my own wedding dress and knowledge is truly wealth!!

[@brendastuntz1727]

Alyssa Soriano congrats!! I am not sure of your skill level, but surely you are not a total beginner if you are attempting something like a wedding dress. anyway I was just wanting to let you in on a site I came across recently. it is flamencodressmaking.com the owner Anne has some videos and patterns that may be of use to you. yes it is a dancing dress site, but can be very fancy with the correct materials. first all of her patterns include princess seams and she has a video showing you how to alter them to get the perfect fit. next she has special sleeve patterns much like what was used in the centuries previous to ours. they allow you to dance and move without your entire dress moving. she also shows you how to make the perfect flounce ruffles and how to calculate how much fabric you need for them. anyway it is a wonderful site, and I bet someone making a wedding gown could benefit from it. please excuse poor punctuation and grammar, my phone is a pain to type on.

[@laisoriano]

Thank you so much for sharing that site, Brenda! I will check it out!

Thank you so much! I’m terrible at this sort of stuff but managed to sew an appliqué following your instructions.

[@AyeTope]

Thank you soo much. I find this video very helpful. Love , from Nigeria.

[@MissLionRose]

Great work! I love the attention to detail 👍✨💃🏻

[@Cyrilmc222004]

Thank you so much, that’s so very very helpful and useful.

[@minimal4chocolate840]

I’m trying to sew 3D floral lace appliqué on the train of my wedding dress. Should I use silk thread or clear?

[@mariaocampo2479]

Instead of silk for thread is it alright if I used invisible thread? It’s clear that’s all I have....

[@MattEthanandMe]

What color should I be using for my thread - should it be the same color as my fabric or should it be the same color of the applique?

[@chandaradodson7015]

Thank you. This video was great! Can you cut the fabric out of the applique first before you sew it?

[@cosplayfanbyreid3038]

I have a jacquard garment and one piece of lace applique appears to have come loose a little would this method work for reattaching the loose part? :)

[@CatherineSTodd]

Thank you for this wonderful video! I found beautiful flower appliques on eBay today for 99 cents each (!!) but didn't know what to do with them. Now I do! And you make it look so easy. I can't wait to give this a try.

[@ProfessorPincushion]

great find! :D I'm sure your work will turn out beautiful

[@petrasbodyworks2448]

Thanks.

[@catherinehollingsworth4614]

Sewing porn!! I loved this. I especially loved the end product with transparent lace attached to a rough brown fabric. Goals!!!

[@caroleolsen8842]

This video couldn't have come at a better time. The other day, my husband saw a tank top with a Lace Crochet of a skull covering the top part of the back of the shirt. I would love to be able to do something like that or your Lace Applique of an Owl. Do you have any ideas for this? Thank you.

[@ProfessorPincushion]

If you're looking for interesting lace appliques, check etsy. I know they have both owls and skulls. here' a quick search for lace applique owls: www.etsy.com/search/?q=lace%20applique%20owl&order=most_relevant

[@caroleolsen8842]

That is exactly what I was looking for. BTW I personally think your the best sewing instructor out there. Please keep it up. :)

[@enjskkjnk1751]

Is it the same technique used for sewing the appliqué on a mesh textured fabric ?

[@ProfessorPincushion]

yes, I would do the same

[@debbievidal9536]

If my applique is multicoloured, is it best to use transparent to thread?

[@CatherineSTodd]

Glad to find you on Facebook, too! facebook.com/ProfessorPincushion/

[@glynishigham1893]

how would you attach the same applique to tuille please

[@ProfessorPincushion]

+glynis allen The weave in tulle is bigger but the way you would stitch on the applique would be the same as in this tutorial

[@glynishigham1893]

+Professor Pincushion thankyou

[@ScouseeHousee]

thanks

[@zaibarif7091]

I love ur hands

[@yvonnedorothea8426]

Thank you ...very interesting - which fabric sealing did you use? if I may ask??

[@distinctivefabric3083]

hello there, your videos are all great and helpful. May I know how could I possibly reach you further for some inquiries? Thank you!

[@ShopnoDana]

Wow work

[@ememnkamare]

Hi thanks for the tutorial, very helpful. But can we just use gum and press it on the fabric to make it faster? 😁

[@Easycookingandtips]

Very helpful. Thanks a lot

[@ikk77]

I want to do this to a dress and a cape of mine. Do you do this after the base garment is done, or before doing interfacing and/or lining? Help!

[@delisavelez9832]

I was hoping to learn how to make them flowers not to just sew them on I need to learn how to make them white beautiful flowers

[@mrs.abbasbaloch2883]

superb but tell us how to sew it with sewing machine

[@ProfessorPincushion]

sometimes handsewing is the neatest and best way to go, especially when it comes to embellished and delicate appliques. If you're sewing something a little more basic, and want to use the machine, you can check out this video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/j3aYo6upeslge8k I go over making a fabric applique but the end of the video is machine sewing it on.

[@terilooney]

Lovely effect. Thanks for the demonstration.

[@withlovestephaniedenise7024]

Thanks for sharing. I've learned "sew" many techniques from your tutorials.

[@retfarevestna9393]

Can u please help me? How to remove lase applique from shirt?

[@patricecarter5096]

How do you store appliques properly..thank u

[@nostereotype8243]

About how many inches of thread did you use when sewing the entire applique?

[@sanaashehata9920]

[@teresalee9997]

Thankyou..this helped me with some pillowcases I made as a gift 😊

[@073824617j]

What if the self fabric is a stretch fabric?

[@yogicfly4bliss]

Very helpful! Thank you!

[@Cyrilmc222004]

Thank you so much 😊 that was very helpful and you are very good with your tutorial

[@anywherearoundtheworld7639]

Hi badly need your help. Can I put applique on my satin gown? Applique directly to satin?

[@ProfessorPincushion]

sure. just hand stitch carefully. Satin is unforgiving so if you make a mistake, it's hard to fix. Also, it frays a lot! So keep the fray check handy.

[@FrancisArthurFotografie]

Just learned my first machine sewing and now I'm going for this huge applique that has very small borders to sew in and I'm applying it to thick double cotton cloth, wehhh :) It's going to take foreverrrr (lol) but thank you so much for teaching!!! +1

[@ProfessorPincushion]

You're welcome! Glad you enjoyed our tutorial :)

[@kaitlinfrank9312]

[@annalizaalbaidhani8194]

Nice but time consuming their must be other ways to save little bit of time

[@BITCHY1234]

Glue it

[@bassterify]

This is great and helping! Thank you.

[@stickerface68]

When sewing an applique of one color to fabric of a different color, which color thread do you choose? The color of the applique or the color of the fabric? Or - does it matter?

[@ProfessorPincushion]

for me, I could pick a thread color based on the applique and not on the fabric.

[@stickerface68]

Thanks!

[@angie5903]

Hi! I LOVE your videos! It has saved me on sooooo many projects! But I have a question, when handing sewing a beaded lace appliqué to power mesh that has a 4 way stretch, do you use the same stitching technique or different to allow the appliqué to stretch with the fabric. Thank you in advance!

[@ProfessorPincushion]

If the applique already has some stretch it should still be able to have some give after it's sewn on.

[@angie5903]

Professor Pincushion Thank you for your reply!

[@soladiamond8960]

Thanks for the demostraton.Want to ask of you used a single or double thread

[@ProfessorPincushion]

just single

[@kalyangorahava4858]

[@1954BJohn]

Cool!

[@supriyashenoy6728]

Superrr!!

[@Falco90thebest2]

Please,Can I know what you used on the edges of the fabric cut for not doing fraying?

[@ProfessorPincushion]

It's called Fray Check and you should be able to find it in the notions department at a local fabric store. www.sewingpartsonline.com/dritz-fray-check.aspx?gclid=CIG34e6yz74CFU1afgod8VQApQ

[@Falco90thebest2]

Thank you so much...it's like a glue!!!in tailoring where I worked we used water diluted with vinyl glue, the glue is called VINAVIL, very cheap in price and is found in various formats, then we applied on the edges with a brush .... if you want you can try ... :) God bless you for your videos .. if you continue in the wake of tailoring techniques and high fashion, it makes everything more interesting
