Applique with Bottom Line™

Image

The Australian Wildflowers quilt shows the fine stitching you can achieve using Bottom Line™.

A Microtex #60 needle was used and an open satin stitch. I used fusible web to place the flowers, then appliqued them down. Alternatively, I could have used a closer satin stitch, or even free-motioned three rows of straight stitching around the outer edge of the applique.

Bottom Line has also been used to free machine the embroidery for the flower centres.

The thread is also very suitable for hand applique. The Wildflowers quilt has a lot of the inner scallops and the outer edges of the quilt hand appliqued onto cording.
