Decorating using appliques
 Applique in bright, solid-colored fabrics is characteristic of Hawaiian quilting. The basic idea of appliqué seems easy, cutting a shape out of one fabric and sewing that shape onto another fabric. Appliqué is a simple and effective method of decorating fabric, whether done by hand or by machine. Appliqué doesn't just use fabric; it can also be used with other materials such as beads, sequins, etc. It is often combined with other types of needlework such as embroidery to create the desired effect. Appliqué is suitable for small or large scale work but not every material is appropriate for every appliqué project. For something purely decorative, such as a wall hanging, there is a wider choice of fabrics to select. There are two important steps in appliqué. The first includes the designing and transfer of the design to the fabric; the second is the appliqué itself. There are two approaches to designing for appliqué. The first approach is to work directly with materials, cutting shapes, arranging and rearranging the shapes, and stitching them to a background either by hand or machine without any planning. The second approach is to plan a design on paper, using cut paper, tracing shapes out of books, or drawing simple forms such as leaves, butterflies, fish, etc. The colour and texture of the material should be carefully chosen as they are a very important part of the design. Bonding is another method which is much faster and easier method to stitching. Image File history File links Broom_icon. ...
