    When you get your kit, there will be more info for you. You will prepare the background, and the bird and other applique elements. If you are not sure how to do it, please let me know and I will help. Having the applique stitched down will allow you to stitch the embroidery part in class.

    I made the wife a 'light box', empty wine carton, plexiglass large enough to cover top & stay, small lamp. Plact lamp inside box, cut hole for cord, plug it in, lay pattern on top of plexiglass and freezer paper on top of pattern. Use ruler to keep lines straight. A little more prep work, useful when a printer is not in the picture. Put on some music and enjoy the process, she does

    Hi, to appliqué the wool pieces in place is that blanket stitch? The book just says appliqué in place then chain stitch on the background, nothing about blanket stitch.

  • @westcoastwool
    @westcoastwool6 ай бұрын

    Correct, no blanket stitching in Sue Spargo designs. You will use wool thread in a matching color to whipstitch your pieces in place first. Then, following the instructions, you will embroidery the applique according to the stitches she’s given. Hope that helps. If you have anymore questions, please let me know.

    Just an add on - I have appliquéd for years, connecting with Sue Spurge and wool appliqué in early 2000's. I have never found pins as good as the Karen Kay Buckley 'Perfect Pins' both sizes... most of my cotton appliqué is with batik fabrics - the pins are wonderful! They bend fairly easy - like curve, but they are easy to bend back. I'm about 5 years in and I've only had to throw a couple out due to burrs. I also use the Fiskars scissors - mostly because if I fly they can come with me and also because I don't mind cutting freezer paper with them.

    Is your mallet steel head/fiberglass handle? I can't find a fiberglass head mallet. Can I use my kitchen (white) cutting board for cutting on? What brand is your punch set? I couldn't find one on your website. Thank you!

  • @westcoastwool
    @westcoastwool8 ай бұрын

    You can purchase the punches and mat at Sue Spargo Folk Art Quilts. Do not buy them from Amazon. They are not the same quality. No, you cannot use your kitchen mat. You will ruin your punches. I bought my mallet from Ace Hardware. I am not sure but I don’t think it is a steal head. I would have to look at it. Hope that helps you. Cheers!

    Did you appliqué your wool to the background with wool thread. There doesn’t seem to be any in the pack and I wondered whether I needed to buy them as an extra. Love your videos. Thanks for making them especially as I’m left handed too 😊
