What type of iron-on adhesive do you use? |
|
|
HeatnBond Lite Iron-on adhesive is my favorite. Make sure to use the Lite! It allows flexibility in the fabric after it is applied and it is very easy to machine stitch around the edges without gumming up your needle. |

Where do you find the buttons on
your designs? |
|
|
On my
"Sunflower Seasons" pattern I used the wooden Bee
buttons (#55088) and bottom border buttons (#80687). I
also used the wonderful Hand Dyed buttons by "Hillcreek
Designs" (www.hillcreekdesigns.com)
on pattern #108, 112, 114 , 117, 132, 137 and 138. My favorites are the
"Itsy Bitsy" buttons, the "Small Heart"
buttons and the "Large Star" buttons. I'm also
fond of the "Mix D" buttons because you receive 3
different sizes and 3 different colors of buttons in each pack. |

What product do you used when you
hand stitch accents on your designs? |
|
|
I use DMC Pearl
Cotton and Weeks Dye Works when I hand stitch accents on my quilts and wearables.
I prefer size #5 in almost every color under the sun. It
is just the right thickness to show up nicely on wearables and
also shows up nicely when BIG stitched on a quilt too. |

|
What type of thread do you use for
your appliqué? |
|
|
|
My
favorite is Sulky® 30
wt. all-purpose mercerized cotton thread in black. This
thread is slightly thicker than regular sewing machine thread
and it enhances the appliquéd
edges just right! Most of the time I use all black thread
to buttonhole stitch around my appliqué pieces, but I also
enjoy changing the thread color to match each appliqué piece,
resulting in a different look. I also like to use the 12
wt. all-purpose mercerized cotton thread for a heavier stitched
look. I have had great success using the 12 wt.
thread in various colors on some wool appliqué pieces stitched
on my sewing machine! |
