Stitch-n-Flip Technique for Whimsical Appliqué by Colourwerx

This pattern is from www.ColourWerx.com
For this technique I used a cut away stabilizer as the base and did the stitch-n-flip piecing with strips cut approximately 1.5 - 2.5" wide. After the strips are pieced on I did a stitch on the design line that was a 1.5 stitch length. I then cut out the design just past that stitching line. Use Roxanne's Glue Baste-it to secure the dogs to the background then appli-quilt them down onto the quilt top that has already been basted with the batting and backing. I use Warm and Natural batting.

A suggestion to help avoid burning thins with your little clover iron, is to use a coffee mud as a stand for it. Mugs are heat proof theyare just the right size for those mini irons.

[@arvettadelashmit9337]

Just what I was needing. I was looking for a better way to make a butterfly for my apples and worms quilt. Now, all I have to do is make a line drawing for the butterfly and use my scraps. This is a wonderful idea. Plus, it is also a great was to use up more of my scraps. Thank you.

[@QuiltingWithNancy]

Glad it was helpful!

[@encarnacionada2]

Hi Nancy I know this is probably a video made a while ago I happened to stumbled across this great tutorial about your clover mini iron is better to keep it in a mason jar at all times keep you & your sewing notions rulers safe 💕 great video 🥰

[@yopattig9924]

I'm so glad I found this. It literally brings scrappy strips to life. Thank you!

[@QuiltingWithNancy]

Thanks!

[@hazelem1266]

I love your videos because, as a new quilter, I learn so much. But I also learn so much from the comments. Thank you.

[@QuiltingWithNancy]

You are so welcome!

[@janwalker7620]

Athena you are adorable, and thank goodness you are sooo talented!!! Nancy is fortunate to have you!❤❗

What a FUN quilt. I love this. First time seeing you. Nebraska here.

[@QuiltingWithNancy]

Thanks for watching!

[@deborakerstner6037]

Just watched you for the first time. Very much enjoyed your presentation. Retired seven years ago after teaching Family and Consumer Science (formerly known as Home Economics) for 36 years in PA public schools. Appreciate the variety of techniques you included in this video. Interrupted my watching to seek and find the Cat Tales fabrics. Subscribed and plan to watch more of you in the future.

[@QuiltingWithNancy]

Thanks and welcome - Nancy

[@Richiedei50]

It’s like using the webbing as paper piecing. Brilliant.

[@susansettle7300]

Just found you. Love Love Love you and this dog applique quilt. I am dying to try this. Thanks fir making it seem so easy. I am subscribing right now. ❤💕

[@zazmau]

Of course the cat would lead the way!! LOL Love your technique! Love your black and white background fabrics! I'm crazy about your cat!!! A cheap glue stick would work nice too for tacking applique in place.Your teaching technique is wonderful. It gets the message across and moves along at a good pace.You have inspired me to do this as a cat quilt and not just file the idea away for someday that never comes.

[@elizabethc3842]

Oh I hate when I do that!

What a fabulous idea and a great use of scraps as well! I am excited to get started trying this!!

[@QuiltingWithNancy]

[@sewnana1990]

When doing paper piecing or doing applique like you are doing I like to use 'tear and wash' stabilizer. It's nice and firm to work with but when laundered in turns into a nice soft thin batting. Love it. I buy mine from Allstitch

[@TheJAG1357]

This is so neat! I will try this pattern and your method. Thank you very much !

[@coronagirl1016]

[@georgiaatthelake8142]

PS: try a "hot curling iron bag" for your mini iron, save your rulers & misc from accidental burns.

[@elizabethacoveno6504]

Elizabeth from Huguenot NY I love this idea. Will have to try it.

[@mindym.1166]

I’m making lots of baby quilts these days and these types of animals would make wonderful themes for them! So glad I found you! I liked and subscribed!! 👍🏻

[@QuiltingWithNancy]

Wonderful! Thank you! - Nancy

[@bjerles]

I love this method! I hate using heat and bond lite and after fusing, it starts wrinkling or coming unstuck. It looks so messy on my large appliqués. I wish I had seen this before attaching my appliqué shapes on my recent project. I also like that you used straight stitching on the edges. Trying to keep my blanket stitch looking neat is very hard for me. ThankYou sew much for this video!

[@602douglas]

Well this is just too cute! Endless possibilities...

[@christianecoopman5333]

Almost 2021! Hello Nancy. I wonder if you ever watched Wendy from Shiny Happy World? Her method of applique quilting reminded me of what you did today. My brain is atiptoe with how I can blend both methods to make me a fun quilt too! Thanks for sharing your creativity,

[@jzedalis]

Hint for your iron:. Hang a can along your work space and store the iron on the can instead of laying out where it can burn you or your sewing supplies.

[@debramccafferty5069]

That’s a great idea!

[@mariannehovad798]

I would use Wash Away Applique Sheets that way I can print out my design, stitch it like you did and once washed most of it would be gone

[@lizday8140]

I'm sure Nancy got fine results, too, but I was thinking the same thing. The typical instructions for the Cut Away type is to cut away that type of stabilizer close to the stitching once stitched. I have used the Wash Away (water soluble) type in the past with great success, and it yields a much softer fabric, once washed.

[@mariannehovad798]

@@lizday8140 also if you cut out the shape before you start sewing the strips down you then have the option of trimming away excess fabric 1/4 away from the shape and turning the edges so you get applique that doesn't fray.

[@georgiaatthelake8142]

@@mariannehovad798 good idea...which led me to think simply satin stitch and/or zigzagging the raw edges down with tiny-sized stitching.

[@angelamcgovern1525]

Lovely quilt I would use washaway stabiliser or polymesh

[@morganosborne9258]

Way too cute! Looking at this on my little phone screen, but it looks like you could just tear away the paper template and sew the already stitched trimmings onto sections of the next block. Just thinking that might speed up production of several blocks.

@@mamas_quilts3573 And why have a big clunky iron when all you need is to flatten seams? Some of the cleverist stuff has been invented by seamstresses.

[@elizabethc3842]

I love your sense of humor from your Wonder Woman bracelet to your singles ad fabric, you're very funny. Thank you for the stabilizer idea. If you do a very tiny zig zag on the edges will that prevent any fabric fraying for a baby quilt that will be repeatedly washed?

[@QuiltingWithNancy]

Thanks!! Yes, that would help it not fray :)
