I would have loved to have seen that. I've read about take away
appliqu=E9 but not sure how it's done. I've been trying the back
basting method recently. It works for some things. But then I
probably need a lot more practice at it. Also seen the Ami Simms
method and got her book. She made it look so easy. Don't they all.
In practice (not that I've done much of it) it was a lot harder.
I recently tried reverse appliqu=E9 but abandoned that attempt in favour
of hand piecing the article. I'd chosen the wrong block to practice
on.
To date my favourite method remains FP on the back of a piece of
appliqu=E9. I will try the others again. Maybe I should do a BOM on
the different methods of appliqu=E9 for us all to try... hmmmm???
cheers
