Full Description

Turn Up Your Needleturn Skills

Needle turn hand appliqué is a technique where you use the needle to turn the seam allowance of the appliqué pieces under and sew it in place with an invisible appliqué stitch. Like all handwork, hand appliqué is a cathartic craft that you can take with you on the go or curl up in your favorite chair. Becky Goldsmith will entice you with the beautiful pattern that you can make with needle turn appliqué and then guide you through every step of the process.

Tile Tango is a fun and attractive quilt pattern with lively flowers hand appliquéd on 8” blocks. This course covers everything from fabric selection to making templates to perfecting that invisible stitch for making this pattern. Learn and master Becky’s innovative techniques through this course and then apply them to any hand appliqué pattern that you pick up. Never be intimidated by appliqué again!
