Great work! My favorite part is, "if someone is looking at your threads that close and make a negative comment, they ain't your friend." Funny. Love your work.
Thank you. I really enjoyed every minute. & NO MUSIC. , thanks for that too. Love your voice and laugh.
Glad you enjoyed it!
I agree , no music is much easier to listen to instructions. I learned a few tricks from this video. I love how you said if anyone picks at your stitches, they ain’t no no friend of yours lmao. Awesome tutorial!
I love watching your tutorials. I’ve been sewing since I was old enough to hold a needle and thread. I love your sewing style and your clear, concise explanations. Wonderful! Thank you!
Thank you so much!

Learned several great tips thank you!!! No crazy music, nothing wrong with quiet!
So very cute! Great tutorial and tips! Thanks for sharing ❤
Thank you for the detailed explanation, and as everyone else is saying, I appreciate that there was no music. :) Your voice and laugh remind me of my mother's. I might get up the courage to do raw edge applique after this.
Raw edge is fast and fun. Hope you give it a try! Thanks for watching!
I kept hoping to see how the thread spool was mounted on the machine. If the thread is pulling from the side, that may be why the thread is twisting. The thread on a cross wound spool needs to be pulled straight off the top of the spool, not from the side.
This is the best video I have ever seen!
I love doing raw edge appliqué…it brings out the different areas!
I like it because it's much quicker than turning the edges.
Wonderful video. I loved your step by step instructions and the close up of the sewing was great!
Thank you! Glad you liked it.
Sketching, something I would not have even thought about. I have not done much of this but plan to change that . Thank you for all the great tips.
I learned so many unexpected tips...a really perfect tutorial- thank you!
Just wanted you to know, that I applied your technique to my appliqué today and it turned out perfect. Thankyou so much!
Awesome! I'm so happy it worked for you! I'm working on a new video for invisible machine applique. It should be up sometime next week.
I use children's coloring books to get nice pictures for appliquet. Just a tip for some who likes applique. I also use Freezer Paper.:) Then can use a lot of times over. Heat & Bond you can only use once
Yes, I've done that as well. I find the cheaper ones are the best.
This is exactly what I needed! Thank you so much for explaining it all so clearly and taking the time to share it with all of us. Really appreciate it.
You're welcome, thanks for stopping by my little spot in Podunk!
What a darling little bird!
you're amazing! I'm glad I found this video before I start my first raw edge applique project 😁😁😁
Thank you for sharing your video. I really appreciate your video it taught me a lot.
Thank you, glad I could help.❤
Thank you for this video. It gives me courage to start my raw edge applique on a baby quilt I am making. My fabric hasn't been prewashed, hope it will hold up.
Wash it on a gentle cycle, air dry if possible or low heat in the dryer. If the fusible frays or comes loose you can iron it to help refuse. I have several quilts that have done just fine without prewashing.
Thank you! Learned some things I didn't know so can't wait to do another raw edge applique with the things I learned.
You're Welcome.
Thanks for these tips ❤️
Your just what I was searching for... thanks so much!
I've got a design in my head ... a Northwest coastal native salmon table runner for my brother in the Yukon ( 4 Christmas) . I know the technic but worried about bulk & stiffness. BC, Canada 🤗
Your welcome
You're so much fun. Thanks for the tutorial; it's great!
Thank you, I'm so happy you found it useful.
Very good instructions! My Elna machine has a bit of stubbornness when doing blanket stitch, so I use satin stitch mostly.
Thank you! Funny how each machine has a personality. Mine doesn't like the satin stitch. Even with the special foot it doesn't want to move over the stitch. It gets hung up.
Hello Leanne. I discovered you a few months ago and love you!!! I just subscribed to your youtube (didn't know you had it) and watched your video. You are so down to earth and helpful in so many ways. I picked up some of your tips on raw edge applique. I like doing this method because, yep, it's faster and at my age, I want faster now (did I give it away that I am an old gal hee hee). You truly have a knack for picking out colors for your quilts. They are always bright and happy, not too bright, just right. I will look at all your videos later. I was born and raised in Indiana, a Michigander for years now. Thanks so much for all that you do to share with all of us. Happy New Year and many hugs to you..... Claudia
Awe thanks Claudia, huggin back! I am who I am, just a country girl who loves to quilt. Putting up a front is hard to maintain so I don't do it. I gotta ask is your name really Lucille Ball?
@@podunkpretties No that is not my real name, it is just an online name I use for websites, etc. But of course I am a redhead that claims to have big Lucy moments when I screw up something, ha ha. Love REAL people, no phony stuff.....
Great job thank you for sharing your info. Great job
You're Welcome!
Great video thanks for your tips
Thank you and you're welcome!
Yes, your stitches are so perfect! 🏆❤
Thank you!
I love this excellent tutorial very detailed instructions. I’m getting ready to do my first appliqué quilt. Thank you so much. How do you appliqué around the tiny pieces like the beak and cheek. I’m so afraid I’ll mess that part up because I have some tiny pieces to go around.
Great video. Thank you.
So cute!
Really enjoyed your lesson. Your voice is nice also. Thanks
Thank you, glad you enjoyed the video.
You are so sweet and detailed.
Thank you...very helpful. From Trish, Australia
You're welcome. Glad I could help.
You may want to try some Invisifil 100wt thread and pair it with Decob 80wt to see if you like it. (not saying that you need to). I love Aurofil, but recently started piecing with Decobob 80wt top and bottom. Great for when there are many seams. It is a cottonized polyester. Haven't used my Invisifil for applique yet, but your vid is inspiring me.
Yes I too love 100 wt thread. THanks!
Did u say that was a small zig zag stitch?
A zigzag stich will work as also but I use a blanket stitch.
Hi! Just letting you know I found your post on Quilter Blogs and came to watch on you tube. This is a great video and better than some that have been edited. I like the easy "just chatting" style rather than "teacher style" videos. I will definitely watch more and have subscribed. Thank you for sharing the technique. I think you explained it very well and thoroughly. I'm not much of an applique quilter but you inspire me to want to give it another go. Any suggestions for stitches other than a blanket stitch? I use mainly vintage machines that have a small number of specialty stitches or nothing but straight & zigzag.
Thank you, it means so much to get feed back. I thought about trying to be like everyone else but I am who I am, that's all I can be.
Hi...great video, Lea Anne....I have gotten so that I really like Aurifil thread....I DETESTED the curling but found a tip online that works! My machine has the 3-hole part where threading starts-----instead of going in and out through the 3 holes just use 1 hole. The thread stopped curling. I was so amazed but so pleased! ps...love your blogposts....as I live in podunk, usa...I especially love it!
Could you clarify the only going thru one hole instead of three?
@@lindawilson3770 My machine has an upper thread guide, both the sewing machine and the longarm....a small horizontal bar with 3 holes. You put the thread through the holes in an over and under pattern through the 3 holes. I've learned if you bypass all three and only use one of the holes the thread stops curling. The curling is the only fault I have with Aurifil.
@@kupton52 thanks! I'll have to check to see if my machine will let me do that.
@@lindawilson3770 I think any machine that has the 3 holed bar will let you do it, even if they don't say so. Good luck!
excellent tutorial thankyou Jan S Wales UK
Thanks for watching! Glad you found it helpful!
I will try your method next time I trace. I have been using permanent black marker where the line is really thick.
I used to use a black marker. I like the pencil better. Hope it works out for you too.
Love your video thank you but I don’t have blanket stitch on my machine I have a few stitches very similar or could I use a very small zig zag stitch …
I like this tutorial because it is clear and easy to follow the demonstration. I would like to know the machine you use and the foot and stitch number. Thank you
You could get a scan N cut, and it will cut all this out for you!
very cute!, what paper is that?
The fusible is called Heat n Bond Lite
Really appreciate your video. I am just about to start my first appliqué baby quilt and find your info very helpful. Two questions please. Could you tell me the site for your friends appliqué patterns that you were using? I know you said it in the video, but I missed it. And what do you call that presser foot? It gives so much more visibility than a regular old zigzag foot. Thanks. I hope you are still out there making videos.
Here's where you can get the free blocks. erinrussek.typepad.com/one-piece-at-a-time/2020/06/home-again-heres-a-handy-complete-set-to-download.html If you look around her blog you'll find more information on applique and embroidery for this quilt. You'll also find the finishing instructions. The name of the foot I'm using is called an open toe foot.
I’m a beginner and wanted to learn how to appliqué. What’s the name of the fabric?I really like the fabric combination and the yellow with the flowers. Thank you again the the great tutorial.
I don't know the name of the fabric used for most of the applique. The wing on the bird is a Pam
Kitty Lakehouse Drygoods. They're no longer in business. The yellow fabric on my ironing station is an older fabric also and the selvages have been removed so I don't know the name of it either.
Hello Leanne I just found your channel and I like the way you explained things. Except I didn't catch the name of this stitch and the settings that you said in the beginning of the video. So hopefully I can go back and find out that information? If not could you please send me a comment on what this stitch is called and the settings please. Looking forward to seeing more of your videos Thanks for the great tips.
Gütermann thread won't do that and it won't twist around when you're hand stitching. I've tried varied ones but Gütermann thread is the very best. Unless you're using the wrong needle in your machine, it won't break either. (It costs more than the average does though, but it's worth it.)
PS: I can never get the paper on the proper side. I have a little dyslexia and tend to do things the wrong way 5 times before I catch on. Also, I can never get it to stick properly. Do you find that it doesn't work on flannel?
Yep Guterman is good hand thread. Never used fusible on flannel. I should give it a try.
Thank you for this video!! I'm hoping to try this technique soon and I have so many questions. What's the best way to learn how to do the whole process? One you did the stitching to the stabilizer what happens next?
Anyone know where we can get some nice simple applique's??? Something simple...
Are you wanting shapes already cut or something you can trace and make yourself?
Can you talk about the light box and what it does please
Hello, first time at your channel. Very nice tutorial.
I have a query if I may have your help.
Can you please explain what's the difference between the appliqué fusible paper and the Bondaweb?
I've been told that they are different, but having watched several videos, they both function in the same way and I'm a bit confused.
Thank you for your time and help.
They look to be the same, just made in different countries. I never used it so I can't speak for it's quality. But from what I can tell it's the same as Heat N Bond Lite here in the USA.
Hahahaha if they are nit picking those stitches ... i agree! LOL
I am very new to sewing but ambitious...or stupid lol! Do you think this is too ambitious for a super beginner? I want to to small quilts, decorative mini quilts, quilted pillows etc. I don't know a lot of terminology I like to learn as I go...mainly because I'm slightly impatient lol.
Oh yes this would be a lot easier than sewing together squares, rectangles and triangles. Good luck to you on your new adventure. Sewing and quilting will teach you patience if you stay with it.
I'm new to your channel. Do you ever do raw edge applique with clear thread?
I love your raw edge applique but wonder how well it would hold up in a frequently washed item like a baby quilt. Do you have any experience with this? Thanks
I made one for my grandson 10 years ago that is holding up fine. I used prewashed fabrics.
@@podunkpretties Thanks for the feedback!
Love the video. What stitch did you use? Thank you,
Blanket stitch....very tiny!
".....they're not your friend." 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Two questions: Which machine needle are you using? I have to use a stabilizer with my fussy machine. Can you suggest one that works for you?
I use a wide variety of needle sizes depending on thread and fabric. Have you tried Schmetz Super Non Stick Needles 80/12?
@@podunkpretties Whoa! Is this something new from Schmetz? I mostly use their brand of needles.
@@suekelly840 I found them on Amazon. Local shops and Joann's didn't carry them.
Thank you. Loved this video. Look forward to more.
What’s your favorite thread to sew with for quilting?
I quilt my quilts with MicroQuilter 7002.
With the little stiches does it come apart easily?
No. As long as you follow the instructions on fusible it will be fine. I've used a smaller stitch and its fine. However If you are making a quilt that will be used heavily and daily, needing to be washed every week, I would not use raw edge applique. For those quilts I used turned edge applique. I have video for how I do the turned edge applique on a patriotic pillow. All my quilts get was at least twice a year in a washing machine. Some of them are over 10 yrs old and are still holding up fine. Thanks for watching.
What brand of sewing machine do you use?
Brother Innovis. We have a love hate relationship😁 Someday I hope to get Bernina.
What type of scissors? Thanks for the great tips.
Karen Kay Buckley Scissors. They are wonderful! I have used and abused these things and they are still sharp. I own 3 different sizes and use them daily. The handles are soft and easy on the hands. They are a little pricey but not as high as some other scissors that are heavy and hard on the hands.
@@podunkpretties thank you!
How do you hand sew this if you don’t want to use a machine?
Nice video! Can’t wait to try it. What is that white fabric that you use to put the bird appliqué on? It looks fairly loose weave. What do you use that type of fabric for?
Not sure what brand. Its quilt shop quality but has no selvage.
@@podunkpretties Sounds like Kona Cotton
How to if you are sewing by hand?!!…
It can be done by hand as well if you use heat n bond lite. However I don't use raw edge applique by hand.
Are feed dogs up or down?
Up!
WHY NOT USE SAND PAPER SO IT DOZEN MOVE WORKS GREAT
I tried that and didn't like it. Thank you for commenting, someone else may find your comment helpful.
What are u attaching it to is it just material ?
Yes, cotton quilting fabric.
What light box do you use to trace on
It's built into my table. My husband made it. But you can get a light box on Amazon for about $15 or $20.
What pattern is this?
Home Again
my 14 year old said it's a boy unless you give it eyelashes....lol
Oh that's a cute idea! I might just do that!
THANK YOU FOR NO MUISE
Thanks for not getting a manicure. Most of the time the fingernail polish is very distracting.
