Quilting Tip
A
Common Thread
If you have had problems appliquéing a stem or other bias strip, try this:
Appliqué the inside of the curve first, then the outside. If you are appliquéing a meandering or wavy line, have two needles threaded, one for each side of the bias strip. Appliqué the inside curve down until you get to the point where the inside curve changes to an outside curve, then use the other needle and appliqué down the outside curve (you just sewed the inside part of this curve) and move to the new inside curve. You will need to appliqué in one direction only - sewing under the bias strip with one needle and over the bias strip with the second needle.
