Machine Stitched Applique - Outside stitched first. I like the shimmery effect of the Moire taffeta as a background. This seems to illuminate the bronzed stamped top fabric.
Machine Stitched Applique - Inside stitched first. I am pleased with the layered effect with frayed edges. Careful placement of fabric with this technique could produce an almost dimensional efffect.
Machine Stitched Slashed - Stamped fabric on top to produce a 'distressed' and old look. Red fabric with bronze stamping provides a pleasing contrast. Darker turquoise and shiny orange backing fabrics provide contrast and nicely frayed edges. The edges have to be 'worked' fairly hard to produce a noticeable frayed look.
All of these techniques are very versatile allowing a greater range of fabrics as edges do not have to be neat or turned under.
