ReplyDeleteHi Jennifer, One more question, did you use the back basting method of applique on the coral trees? I am working on my 1st block and I am

Kim here, you seem to be a bit worried about those coral trees, I cut the seam allowance to about 1/8" or just over, then sweep it in with your needle, try the eye end of the needle.

I also baste the applique piece onto the background with a running stitch rather close to the sewing line, this seems to stabilize it. Let me know if you are still having problems, K
DeleteMary, they're gorgeous!
