The appliqué shapes are then secured further by quilting, 1 Iron the fusible web onto the back of your appliqué fabrics (Fig A), Remove the paper backing from the fusible web. 2 If you draw on the glue side of the fusible web the leaves need to be reversed, so it’s easier to draw with a disappearing pen on the right side of the fabric. Trace or copy the pattern onto a sheet of paper. Place the fabric glue-side down on top and use a lightbox ‘or hold it against a window so you can see the drawn line through the fabric. Trace the leaves onto the fabrics (Fig B). Cut out all the pieces. 3 Place the pieces onto the background fabric ~ the positions need to be as shown in the project pattern and instructions, Fuse the appliques into place with a medium-hot iron. 4 The appliques also need to be quilted in place to secure them further, Make a quilt sandwich as normal (Glacing wadding (batting) and backing fabric under the background fabric). Quilt the sandwich, making sure your quilting is quite dense so that the appliqué are secured (Fig C). SeAPLIQUICK APPLIQUE METHOD.

To make a simple glued-on cover, use craft glue and a paint brush to apply a thin layer of glue on the book before placing it onto a piece of fabric that is about Xin (2cm) larger than the book all round. If your notebook has a rigid back, cut notches on each side and use a wooden stick or similar to press the fabric between the notches, in between the cover and the paper inside where there is likely to be a gap. Glue the edges to the inside of the book. A piece of jacquerd ribbon makes a perfect book mark When crafting with jacquard ribbon it’s always good, to remember that you can stop the edges from unravelling by very quickly touching the edge with a flame. If you hold the flame too long the ribbon will curl so just a slight touch is enough, Use a lighter or similar over a sink and please be carefulSquash also make cute pincushions.
