Applique Pat’s Way….Free Motion Applique
This is a technique that Pat Rodgers developed so that she does not have to do traditional fused appliqué. It is great for garments because there is no stiffness from bonding. It is great for projects that have small pieces and allows you to use fabrics that are difficult and very heat sensitive. This is a great class for all levels and as many of you have discovered, Pat is a wealth of creative information!
Bring your sewing machine and a free motion foot. Pat will provide a kit (small fee to instructor) for everything else you might need.
