| Applique edge stitch, up close |
Still working on my scrappy 8-point star, mini wall hanging. Edita's design features a beautiful scrappy star as its center, surrounded by appliqued vines and leaves...very pretty. My star block and the surrounding borders are completed, and now it's time to apply the applique. Edita's suggested method is to apply the applique pieces with fusible web; I am using Lite Steam-A-Seam 2, and then to finish the raw edges with an edge stitch. The process is surprisingly not as tedious as you might think; just need to use care and not rush the process. I am learning to relax my body and let the machine do the stitching (I'm just the guide); otherwise, it can be a really tense workout.
