Here's another way to achieve a sketchy look for your applique. Needing no special feet or stitches this is a good starter for anyone feeling nervous about free-motion.

Nice. Thanks. You cracked me up when you said “ this is what happens when you break your needle threader.” My goodness don’t I know it. Mine gets bent out of line all the time.

This method is so my favorite way to spend creative time! Thank you so much, I hope to see more videos from you to see what wonderful projects you are doing.

Another way to practice free-motion is to "quilt from the back." Make some pot holders or placemats. Example, the front could be some 4- or 9-patch blocks in fall colors. Pick a backing that has a fall foliage pattern or fall flowers. Do your free motion or planned lines around some of the leaves/flowers. You don't have to be perfect, no one will know. Tie one leaf to the next using a looping, swirling line. On the front, all the viewer will see is nice connected shapes. They won't see the back at the same time, so if you miss a place here or there on a leaf or flower, no one will notice you weren't following any exact lines --- I did a whole quilt this way with leaves, and another with a pretty apple blossom fabric where I just picked out one blossom every 4-5 inches. It was random, and no one ever knew it wasn't planned. LOL

This looks so much easier to do. I am definitely going to give it a go. Beautiful fabric and flower design , Thankyou for sharing this idea ❤

I love this! Can I ask what you are using on the back of your fabric? The stuff I am trying to use seems really flimsy.

Love this technique . Do you backstitch when beginning and ending or do you pull the long threads through to the back?

If you dont have fancy features like this, is it harder to handle the curves?
