Lately, (let's say for the past four years) my love for raw edge appliqué has gotten a bit more frequent. Still love traditional methods of quilting, but oh how those raw edge shapes appeal!
Why? Maybe the challenge? Take an idea, turn it into a line drawing, reverse construct the drawing into pieces, then decide on colors, and turn it all into a fun puzzle.
When the old shoulder gave me fits, my position at the machine changed out of necessity. For least stress, my chair is very low and my arms rest on the sewing table. This gives me maximum control with minimum stress on that shoulder.
This has become a permanent change methinks. It also has the bonus of being very close to where all the action takes place, easy to see all the little twists and turns needed to accomplish this method.
If you are looking for an addiction, give raw edge applique a go!
