After you have finished sewing the borders on your wall hanging ... you have the option of adding a few fabric applique items.. pom pom, nose, body buttons or heart etc. I use fusible webbing and iron them on. I suggest you sew these down, for instance a blanket stitch around the edge. This will stabilize the piece and it won't curl up on the edges etc. But remember this is optional. You can do this by hand or machine. note: You can do a satin stitch as well..(zig zag works if you shorten up the stitch length on your machine) This step works best if done before quilting.
* We will add the final embellishments - the button eyes, mouth, scarf w/button or any other embellishment that is not sewn into the piece, after the wall hanging is quilted.
How do your calendars look for the next time we can get together and finish? Call me if you need help leaving comments. I can meet This Saturday morning the 7th.. Or Tuesday or Wed. night. I am committed the rest of the month on Saturdays. Have a awesome day QT's!
