Combining traditional piecing and large applique, with a fun modern twist.
Teaching Information
Thank you for your interest in either taking, or hosting a class with me. My classes are mainly focused on incorporating various types of applique techniques into quilting projects. I offer classes in both English OR German.
Classes are set up as a two-day or weekend course, and can be structured as either two, single-day topics, OR for teaching a specific pattern. Projects can be specifically tailored to the class participants interest.

Course Name: Zig-Zag Is A Thing Of The Past: Intro
To Starch Applique
Description: Starch appliqué is an appliqué method that
uses a freezerpaper template and spray starch to create
a finished edge appliqué. The template is then removed
before stitching, and can be finished either by hand or
machine with a straight or blind stitch instead of a
traditional zig-zag stitch.
Level: Intermediate
Techniques: starch applique
Number of Participants: 10 - 15
Class Language: English or German

Course Name: Combining Simple Piecing & Pieced Blocks
with the Reverse Applique Method
Description: There are more ways than one to get to the
same end result,and reverse applique can also be an
alternative to sewing curves! Not only that, but combined
with simple piecing techniques, or even piecedblocks, can
add even more interest to a project.
Reverse applique is an exciting sewing technique in which
the applique shape is cut from a top layer of fabric, and
the raw edges are turned under and finished to reveal a
layer of fabric underneath. Don’t throw those fabric
cut-outs just yet! I’ll also share with you some creative
projects to make with those leftover snippits – every good
quilter loves to put all those little scraps to use!
This method uses the spray starch applique method and is finished
by a straight or invisible stitch - which means NO raw edges and NO
hand sewing! After this course, you’ll find yourself looking for ways to
finish projects faster, simply by using the reverse applique technique.
Level: Intermediate
Techniques: reverse applique, block piecing, paper piecing
Number of Participants: 10 - 15

medium projects. Learn how to create your own felt
appliqué shapes inspired by your favorite fabric designs.

Decorative stitching ideas, tips for securing the applique
