What is Appli-quilting?

Posted by Lynn Koolish on Nov 10th 2016

Quilting expert Gina Perkes has come up with a brilliant way to save time by appliquéing and quilting at the same time. She calls it appli-quilting. Use a domestic sewing machine, mid-arm, or longarm for this versatile technique. Use raw- or turned-edge appliqué—the choice is yours. You can even couch and embellish while you’re at it!

And there are projects so you can practice your new skills.

Smitten is a fun, whimsical quilt with both raw-edge and turned-edge appliqué and gives you plenty of opportunities to practice the techniques in the book.
