I can’t argue with success.<br /><br />http://www.karenkaybuckley.com/index.php<br /><br /> If you like the templar method of appliqué - to finish either by hand or by machine - this is the teacher for you. If you cannot get away to take a class she does have a very good DVD that I have enjoyed watching several times and that I have learned quite a bit from.Mercy Arrastia Savagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09234560841577752009noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2422039577334738332.post-4023930660041628252010-04-15T04:13:08.771-07:002010-04-15T04:13:08.771-07:00Yes there are still more ways to prepare machine a...Yes there are still more ways to prepare machine appliqué.

There are a few methods you did not try---one of my favorites for shapes which are a good size and do not have too many tight curves is Eleanor burns' using fusible interfacing.
