A little obsessed

Still having fun with back basting.
The block is a little wrinkled from all the handling. Maybe I should use a hoop.

Many people have asked about back basting. I thought I'd write a tutorial when I get the hang of it, but why reinvent the wheel?
Marjorie has an amazing tutorial on her blog: http://appliqueaddict.blogspot.com/
Just look in the top right corner. Thanks for sharing your knowledge Marjorie!

    I hate hand applique, but want to love it. I would like to try this technique and see if it works for me. I am just such a klutz with a needle in my fingers!

    This is looking great. I have a few applique projects in mind, and I think I am going to try the back basting and see how it works for me. Thank you for the link.
