Chapter 9 Reverse Applique




Paper Design - I chose a design in paper that would be easy to execute in the samples however still be effective for the techniques in this chapter. The shape is slightly irregular for added interest.

Fabric Sample - I chose bright contrasting colours to emphasis the different applique layers and create vibrancy. I found it difficult to execute the applique using tacking stitches as a guide. I have previously used needle turn applique and found this easier, perhaps because as I am used to it. I am prepared however to practice the tacking method as I am sure there are situations where this is easier.
