Satin Stitch Applique with Valerie Nesbitt
Classes with Valerie Nesbitt • Educational, G, 09-Jul-2021
Machine applique is really very easy and a particular favourite with Valerie. Every sewing machine has a zig-zag stitch on it, no matter how old it is, and Valerie gives some helpful advice on how to use this to achieve a great satin stitch.
Here are some of the things Valerie talks about:
type of thread
the colour of the thread
thread tension
bobbin thread
fabric stabilizers
why an applique foot is essential
There are some great patterns and kits throughout the website.
