Hand embroidery has made a huge resurgence this year and with our Homespun Christmas collection we wanted to give you a hand embroidered appliqué look, except it will be done on your machine. The collection consists of traditional felt appliqué designs and running stitch designs. The felt designs are created using a blanket stitch technique with four layers of cotton thread. The four layers create a thick yarn like look and the use of a blanket stitch is a traditional hand technique. The process used to create the appliqué is very simple and explained in the following pages. The running stitch designs are unique as well, instead of a two layer stitch they are created using seven layers for a thick beautiful look. They are also created using multiple colors so when you use them with the appliqué designs they coordinate beautifully. The project we created for this collection is a felt layered quilt. I’m sure you will love both the project and the techniques we used in these beautiful vintage Christmas designs. * All Anita's Vault products are DOWNLOAD ONLY and NOT available on CD.
