Month Seven - Applique Border 2 - Learn reverse applique and

[ssgirl]

Same thing happened to me Linda, so decided to just go with the method in the pattern. That is the only thing I don't really care for in a BOM, hard to plan when cutting for month that you do not have the instructions for. I just decided to try Sue & Pat's method rather than do all that trimming.

Same with me. I had the 3/8 inch binder,but would have had to recut all those strips. I used the method I described in earlier post.
See making 3/8 inch binding posted earlier.

I really liked the appearance of the 3/8inch vine and stems but I may go back to the original on that 90 inch vine on the side border.

Luckily since I was playing "catch up," I hadn't cut my strips like I was suppose to in month 5 so I was able to use the 3/8" bias tape maker. Love that little thing!! And I can thankfully say that as of about 10 minutes ago, I am finished with month 7!! :lol:

Margo,
How did you do the reverse appliqué using Stable stuff? I don't remember seeing that in the earlier video. Or should we do that piece with fusible?

Linda, I trimmed the 3 teardrop shapes out of the Stable Stuff and cut the outside shape (along the orange lines) as usual, then glued the fabric to the Stable Stuff.



I just turned under the outside edges as usual, then made clips in the teardrop shapes (blue lines) so I could glue those edges just like the outside edge.



The accent fabric is then just laid under the tulip shape and stitched into place just like regular applique! Easy Peasy!

Thanks, Margo, you do make it sound simple!
