So what have I been trying out new??? I have been playing with a new method of applique stitching. Raw Edge applique that is :) I have done tons of applique but I always stitch it down with either a blanket stitch or a zig-zag stitch. But my Name Game Swap partner had a mosiac full of Raw Edge applique so I figured it was time to try something new. Here is a little preview with a close up of the raw edge stitching. (I promise to show more once my partner has received it in the mail :)
And I had so much fun with the new little technique that I decided to do my Beejeebers Monopoly Block (
That I showed here) applique with raw edges as well. Which was nice because when you are stitching 1" applique pieces blanket stitch and zig zag pretty much take up the entire applique. Raw edge worked prefect, and once again, was a lot of fun :)
So that is what I have been trying new. How about you???? Let's see those links :)
