 How many ways are there to applique?
 
This week I decided to explore applique. I don't really do any applique except for the occasional postcard. But I do love it and I thought it would be fun to search the web and see how many different tutorials I could find for different applique methods.

Whew. That should keep you busy for a while! I think it's a nice reference for any advice that you need for doing applique. I am sure I could have found 20 more sites for you. That's the beauty of the web. If you have time to look you can find just about anything you need! Do you have other favorite applique tutorials or videos? Please share them in the forum.
