Wow, I am amazed at the beautiful work that was done on that applique dress! I thought applique would be extremely hard and tedious before watching this class, and after watching Natalie Channin's step-by-step breakdown of the process, it really seems like it would be rewarding to try on just about any piece of clothing I want to customize! I love the options of stitches and threads to try with applique for different looks, so I look forward to experimenting with these techniques and creating my own applique designs!
