Buttonhole Applique
A favorite method of applying small pieces of fabric
to quilts for decoration.
Use fine embroidery thread (50 weight or finer) and
needle appropriate to fabric. You may need to set
the foot pressure dial to 2.
1. In this type of applique, raw edges are folded
under.
To prepare raw edge, first cut applique design
out of paper.
2. Press fusible webbing to wrong side of applique
fabric.
3. Cut the fabric slightly larger than paper pattern.
4. Fold fabric under to match paper pattern size.
Remove pattern. Press only the edge to form a
perfectly shaped design.
NOTE: Clip curves where necessary.
5. Press applique in place and sew. Straight edge
of the stitch is sewn next to folded edge of appli-
que.
