Applique Video: Glue Basting Your Block

So apparently I have a tendency to cut off my opening “Hi Everybody” greeting when I upload my videos. All I can say is that I am still a total doofus at this.

Here is a little video I’ve made about how I glue baste my blocks together before I sew. I have been doing this for several years now and I just love it. It makes sitting down and sewing very relaxing because everything is right where it needs to be. Just for clarification. When I apply glue to my appliqué shape I always apply it to the seam allowance. I’m pretty sure you can see that in the video but I didn’t say anything about that so I’m covering my bases here. Another note is to NOT use too much glue, too much glue can make the sewing a little tricky.

I modelli sono stati rimossi prima di incollare i pezzi verso il basso
I think this says that the templates are removed before I glue the pieces down
