Fusible appliqué is a simple and reliable method for adding appliqué to your quilt project.
Fusible Appliqué
1. Trace appliqué motif onto
paper side of fusible web, making a
separate tracing for each appliqué
needed.
4. Peel off paper backing. Position
appliqué in place on background
fabric, and fuse shape in place.
2. Roughly cut out drawn appliqué
shape and follow manufacturer’s
instructions to fuse to wrong side of
appliqué fabric.
5. Using coordinating thread and
your preferred stitch, machine
appliqué outline of shape.
6. A satin stitch will completely
cover the edge, but a blanket stitch
or zig zag stitch will also work to
secure edges.
3. With small, sharp scissors,
carefully cut out drawn shape.
TIP: To keep dark background fabrics from showing through, fuse a white lining fabric to light-colored appliqué fabric before cutting out the shape.
