To reduce the messiness from the satin stitching, what if you applique your pieces before doing the sandwich for the entire quilt?Vickiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14368835602326623300noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7302142022228564326.post-62347825457971486122011-08-04T07:27:54.097-04:002011-08-04T07:27:54.097-04:00Interesting technique!

For my looser stuff I use raw edge applique (without fusing!). I love to put thread work into my pieces so once all the fabric is down I just put in the color thread work over it - it comes out great and I still get the nice puffs to add texture!Nina Mariehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14316034317827146338noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7302142022228564326.post-24901602287971107952011-08-04T01:22:06.839-04:002011-08-04T01:22:06.839-04:00Hi, I like this!!

But it's true, those bits of fabric will never be seen by anyone, as they get sandwiched into the quilt.<br /><br />It's always fun to read your blog, even as I have completely stopped quilting for the Summer. It's just too darned hot in New York right now. Hopefully I'll get back into the groove once it cools down.Nina Paleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03446697447012807931noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7302142022228564326.post-56265766507312517232011-08-03T22:22:37.447-04:002011-08-03T22:22:37.447-04:00This is wonderful.

When I am doing lots of dense satin stitching I use a thin fusible web under my batting (for stabilizing) and later add the backing and quilt around the motifs and sometimes in the motif... This way the satin stiches are enclosed inside the quilt and not showing up like a sore thumb on the back. I love this new trapplique technique and will have to try it out soon!-amyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13227795752229563177noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7302142022228564326.post-72718444812498537692011-08-03T17:06:03.472-04:002011-08-03T17:06:03.472-04:00That is too funny!

My 2 favourite quilters in the same place....wow! An interesting technique - I will file that somewhere in the brain for the future when I know the the heck I'm doing! I am satin stitching at this very moment (a break to check the blog) and since it's my first time, I had some questions! Thanks again!a1angiemhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03738388734023408910noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7302142022228564326.post-74543913237417092792011-08-03T17:02:00.977-04:002011-08-03T17:02:00.977-04:00Hi, Im not a quilter (well not yet) but enjoy read...Hi, Im not a quilter (well not yet) but enjoy reading your posts as I am planning to get into it.<br /><br />The problems with the back of the quilt: Could you construct your trapplique pieces place them and then sow onto the top before you apply the batting then quilt the remaining areas as normal <br />(or just keep the backing material off whilst attaching the trapplique piece if you want to go through the batting)<br /><br />Just a thought, hope it might help.<br /><br />PippaKnightMarehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08174466702401368517noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7302142022228564326.post-62696400317004280292011-08-03T16:55:39.582-04:002011-08-03T16:55:39.582-04:00Hi Anne-Marie - I just used batting on the backs o...Hi Anne-Marie - I just used batting on the backs of my trapplique, no backing fabric. I figure - why waste the fabric when it's not going to show once it's stitched onto the quilt?<br /><br />I use polyester felt - craft felt you can get really cheap - because it's cheaper and has a slightly stiffer feel which makes it great for this kind of work.<br /><br />Really any kind of batting will do so now you have something you can do with all those batting scraps!<br /><br />Cheers,<br /><br />LeahLeahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03674869334249298532noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7302142022228564326.post-40873068757733535552011-08-03T16:43:55.366-04:002011-08-03T16:43:55.366-04:00Wow!

I will try this for sure with some of the FMQ samples I make from your designs and from Patsy Thompson's CDs I have.
