Return to slow, thoughtful hand stitching with this pretty skill-building class by Carolyn Friedlander. With a nod to the symmetry and style of Hawaiian quilting, you will create your appliqué piece like a paper snowflake and arrange it on your fabric background. Carolyn teaches you how to baste your appliqué piece by hand, how to stitch inside and outside curves and points, and how to efficiently remove basting stitches. This technique is perfect for making individual blocks or larger designs for show-stopping quilts.

Great camera work to show exactly where you should place clips and stitches. I love that she showed us where to stop and start stitching at each point and curve to achieve smooth results. I especially liked the tip on how to know when you haven’t clipped enough. I now feel confident that I can appliqué any shape accurately.
