And now, let’s welcome Pat!
Have you wanted to try appliqué, but thought it might be hard? Do you think you might have to do handwork when you prefer to use your machine? Or maybe you thought the only way to do fusible appliqué was by creating stiff shapes?
I’m here to tell you none of those things happen when I appliqué! It’s not hard, you do it on your machine, and it’s soft and flexible with my methods, yeah!
I didn’t start out as a quilter who appliquéd, but I became one as soon as I could! I longed to create flowers and shapes with curves, and to add fun images to my work. Appliqué gives total freedom of design and it’s easy, fast, and most of all fun!
My book is written like a class with step-by-step photos, tips and sidebars, and loads of examples. I’ve taught thousands of quilters to appliqué and I can teach you too!
Close-up of appliqué from “Aunt Bea’s Bouquet”
Even if you already know how to do fusible appliqué, you might have a few questions…like “Why is my machine blanket stitch going off into space when I turn?” There are several reasons why. Ask yourself:
- Did you pivot while your needle was in the shape instead of in the background?
- Does your blanket stitch have a double bite or a double straight line, and you turned before it was ready?
In Pat Sloan’s Teach Me to Appliqué, I show you how to check for these things plus a lot more!
Another important part of your appliqué is the thread you use. Are you curious about different-weight threads and how they will look? I explain all the weights and share what they look like when stitched. Here’s just one stitching example at right.
You can use this book as a class by making the first project, “Sweet Bea’s Bouquet,” and following my step-by-step tutorial to complete it. It’s small—just 24″ square—and the shapes have gentle curves and rounded “points” so it’s easy to make. Even if this is your first appliqué project.
Pat’s first project in Teach Me to Appliqué: “Sweet Bea’s Bouquet”
The other projects include various amounts of appliqué, from a popping flower and checkerboard quilt to my “Farmers’ Market” quilt, which features many different appliqué shapes. And speaking of “Farmers’ Market,” I’ll be hosting a sew-along to make the quilt, starting this summer. Perfect timing for making an appliquéd quilt with me! Check your local quilt shop to see if they’re hosting a sew-along too.

Thanks to all who entered the drawing! The winners are:
Myra, who says: “I’ve tried all three but like machine and fusible the best. I hope I am one of the lucky winners.” (You are, Myra!)
Sharon, who says: “Love to do by hand, and I’ve used the fusible ala Eleanor Burns to make nice neat appliqués, but I still do it the old fashioned way: needle turn and embroidery blanket stitch. Seems to add that last personal touch, I put a little appliqué on all my baby quilts, Overall Sam, Sunbonnet Sue, hexagon lamb, last was a huge frog, and I have a bird for my next. Love your ideas! Thanks for the giveaway.”
Debbie, who says: “My first appliqué project using fusible webbing was from your book Pat Sloan, Berry Hill Quilts, started in 2008 and finished in 2013. In a local quilt show, it won 1st place in the wall-hanging appliqué category. I’d love to win your new book and learn more about appliqué.”
We’ll email you about your prizes. Congratulations!

—Debby Lehman on March 24, 2015would love it
—Doris on March 24, 2015Would love it!!
—Doris on March 24, 2015I have done hand applique and fusible applique. In fact, my very first quilt was a queen-sized hand-appliqued Dresden plate quilt. I didn’t know enough to know that was hard! I like machine-finished fusible applique because it is quicker, but I’m still very much a beginner at it. I’d love to win Pat’s book. It would be a great resource and confidence builder!
—Trish Herbers on March 24, 2015i have only tried fusible. Would love to win.
—Rebecca Toman on March 24, 2015I have tried all 3 methods you mentioned. I like to do applique by hand the most but nerve damage (from a broked neck) makes that hard to do so now I do it all by machine.
—theresa sheldon on March 24, 2015I’ve tried hand, machine and fusible many years ago and was not happy with it. I want Pat’s but to try again.

—Annie Thome on March 24, 2015I have done all three. I can’t wait to see Pat’s book and check out her techniques. Thanks for the giveaway!
—Deb G. in VA on March 24, 2015While my machine was being repaired, I had a lot of extra time so I decided to hand appliqué these large pedaled flowers instead of fusing, and so it would look better! Ha, what was I thinking! Just because I’ve been sewing 50 years does not mean hand turning those edges would be easy! Just to "clean" it up, I did machine the blanket stitch around each one.
As a team mom, I introduced fusing when making the team banner to all the other team moms and that earned me a crown! They would painstakingly hand sew 15 baseballs, logos, etc all over a piece of felt…who has time for that! I also copied a photo of a friends cabin in the woods by fusing pieces of fabrics on a background ans stitching in details and that was the most fun I’ve had sewing EVER!
I foolishly felt fusing appliqué was somehow "cheating", but after attending one of Pats lectures, a whole new world has opened up. As soon as I am finished with the obligatory quilts for grandchildren, I plan on attempting o e of Pats gardens!
—Anne Hart on March 24, 2015I’ve tried hand applique with a Sunbonnet Sue quilt. It has been in the UFO basket for many years as it is not pretty. I would love to learn how to finish this project!
—Linda Blodgett on March 24, 2015I’ve tried machine and fusible. I haven’t tried hand applique yet but I have a project (wool) that I’m getting ready to try.
—Debbie on March 24, 2015I have not yet tried applique. I would love to learn!
—Jessica on March 24, 2015I forgot to mention that I tried both hand and machine applause.
—Annie Thome on March 24, 2015Am trying to get back to quilting after several years of dealing with health problems. Need some brushing up.
—Shirley Sanwick on March 24, 2015I have tried all three types. Love Pat Sloan and would really enjoy using what she uses.
—Kathy on March 24, 2015I do fusible and machine stitch always eager to learn a better way
—Glenda oliver on March 24, 2015very new to appliqué. However, have tried a little of all three. Would like to know some tricks to make it easier.
—Evelyn Smith on March 24, 2015Moda fabric would be wonderful….
—susan larkins on March 24, 2015i have only done one appliqué task…a border on a king size quilt. Self taught so I hated the task but ok with the outcome. Time to really learn the right way so the process can be enjoyed! I have such respect for Pat Sloan that I know she will be my best resource!!
—Virginia Trimble on March 24, 2015I’ve done appliqué work in the past both fusible and machine. It’s been quite awhile since I’ve done it. Pays book would be a helpful tool for getting started again. Hope I win!!
—Carol Steinhauer on March 24, 2015Applique by hand was my first love (I think I was secretly afraid of piecing badly). I then found fusible and loved being able to use all those itsy bitsy pieces. Now I would love to try machine applique. This gift would help me get great results!
—Terri Crothers on March 24, 2015I applique all my wall hangings for charity..Awareness Ribbons that have names etc. but would love tips on fabric fraying…selection and thread.
—susan larkins on March 24, 2015I have tried the machine and fusible techniques but not by hand. I’m excited to hear Pat talk in May about her book and such. Always love learning new techniques 🙂
—Cindy on March 24, 2015i have only done hand appliqué but can’t wait to use your book to learn other ways.
—Dana Cargill on March 24, 2015I started quilting about 20 years ago. I made a king size butterfly quilt and it is all hand applique and hand quilted. Fast forward to now. I love fusible applique and machine applique as well. I think it just depends on what look you are going for. My mom fuses her pieces and then hand sews them with a blanket stitch.
—Cindy Nix on March 24, 2015i have never done appliqué but would live to learn!
—Cathy Cooperider on March 24, 2015My first applique was Baltimore Album hand applique. Now I’m learning faster methods that are equally beautifully with the use of fusibles and the sewing machine. Love your fun patterns and fabrics, Pat.
—Sherry Burke on March 24, 2015I have tried some hand applique in the past with little success. Learning how to Machine applique with Pat’s new book may be the answer I need. I’d really like to give it a try.
—Linda Jernigan on March 24, 2015I love love love machine applique using button hole stitch. I got a new sewing machine for Christmas, so I’m excited to try out some new stitches for applique. Quilting is what keeps me (relatively) sane in a crazy world of raising our 4yo granddaughter!!
—Jenni Jacobsen on March 24, 2015I’ve done fusible and machine appliqué. Love the way appliqué turns out. Can’t wait to read Pat’s book and learn more techniques.
—Brandie Greene on March 24, 2015i have done appliqué with satin stitch but would love to learn the right way to do blanket stitch appliqué
—Patti Brennan on March 24, 2015I have never tried applique before, but my husband just surprised me with a new sewing machine that is capable of doing it, so I am looking forward to learning how to!!
—Melanie Watson on March 24, 2015I have never done applique. It seems so intimidating that I’ve been afraid to try it. I need to buck up and give it a shot.
—Kim Turner on March 24, 2015I want to learn how to applique!! So many beautiful things that you can do and add that special touch to a quilt.
—Deanna Rogers on March 24, 2015I am self taught and new to quilting, though I have sewn for many years. Pat A. Sloan has been a creative inspiration and to have her book would be AWESOME!
—Kari Perry on March 24, 2015I have tried all 3 kinds of applique; started out doing just hand applique, then once I got a sewing machine I taught myself to machine applique with a tight zig-zag stitch, and I’ve done fusible on a few projects as well. My go-to method is to use washable glue stick to hold the applique in place, then machine stitch it, either with a tight zig-zag, or with edges turned under and just a regular stitch on top. Fun stuff!
—The Reader on March 24, 2015I’ve done machine and fusible. I adore appliqué. Would love to be able to make the "Farmers Market" quilt. Darling!
—Terri C on March 24, 2015Your new book sounds great, I hate that stiff feeling
—Penelope on March 24, 2015I have tried all three, but always end up buttonhole or satin stitching my fusibles due to my fear of frayed edges!
—Kathryn Cookson on March 24, 2015I have not tried applique yet. I do have a pattern I’d like to try though
—sally scott on March 24, 2015I have tried all three but not very good at any of them. I think your book might be just the help I need!
—Brenda on March 24, 2015I love machine applique!
—Kim Q on March 24, 2015I have tried all types of appliqué. I love hand work, but because of the time factor, I mostly do fusible. Also it depends on what the end product is going to be used for.
—Donna Purchase on March 24, 2015First appliqué was on a bag pocket using main fabric flower on complementary pocket fabric. From a distance it looks nice, but could certainly benefit from formal study. It is such a great way to make a piece unique and personalized.
—Therese White on March 24, 2015I have tried machine and fusible – currently working on a fusible one now!
—Beth B on March 24, 2015I have tried hand applique but much prefer machine applique!
—Victoria Hughes on March 24, 2015I’ve done all 3 – but am not very confident with any of them.
—Regina on March 24, 2015I’ve tried machine and fusible applique. Not hand but would like to learn.
—Debby Thompson on March 24, 2015your book sounds wonderful Pat. I hope to get a chance to look at it ang get it.
—Angele Robichaud on March 24, 2015I have done needle turn appliqués and machine appliqués. I even worked with some wool appliqués. They are lots of fun and leave room for your creative mind.
I have done applique all three ways. I love the blanket stitch edges on machine applique.
—Susan on March 24, 2015I love applique!!
—Ann on March 24, 2015I’ve done all three kinds of applique, but I want to read her book and learn her tricks….so many times I have had my needle go into lalaland, when I make a turn! LOL
—Jacque on March 24, 2015I have tried, over and over again since I was a teen, to do needle-turn applique, but found it too tedious. Machine applique with zig-zag was okay for baby bibs, but sometimes had ruffly edges and the look didn’t thrill me. Last summer I tried fusible applique, and was thrilled with the blanket-stitch look. Now I just need to try Pat’s method of cutting away the extra fusible, and I may be hooked on applique?! think of the possibilities!
—Deb on March 24, 2015I have used Heat’n Bond light to applique. I use the blanket stitch around the edges. I haven’t utilized the technique of only using the "outline" of the applique. Next applique quilt I do, I will. Thanks for the tip.
—Connie Whan on March 24, 2015I have tried all three types of appliqué. I enjoy doing appliqué because I like to do hand work.
—Wendi M. on March 24, 2015I have done all three kinds of applique that you mention- hand, machine, and fusible- and several techniques within each kind. I am always trying to learn new and better ways, and improve the little details that make such a difference in the finished project. I’d love this give-away bundle…one step closer to perfecting a technique!
—Lynn Miller on March 24, 2015I have done of course the hand sewn applique on a dress for a little granddaughter. But now I love to do the machine applique with fusible applique backing. I love those. then use machine stitches to make sure that it stays down. I would love to get Pat’s new book….
—Terry on March 24, 2015I enjoy making applique kitchen towels as gifts. I mostly use blanket stitch with fusible.
—Brenda on March 24, 2015I’ve tried all three. I can’t do needle turn. I don’t have the patience. I like to use the starch or glue method to preturn my shapes and then sew them down with a decorative stitch by machine. Right now I’m into fusible because I just got a Silhouette Cameo die cutting machine and I really like not having to trace and cut my shapes.
—LeAnne L on March 24, 2015ive always wanted to try appliqué but been too scared of curves! These tips look like even I could get nice results
—Sandra Weston on March 24, 2015I have tried machine applique and fusible, but with mixed results. Most of the applique I have tried seems to be stiff, and when creating a baby quilt, that’s the last thing I want for my finish!
—Sandi Spence on March 24, 2015I’m very excited to see Pat’s "Teach Me" series.
I have not had the courage to try applique, but I would so love to learn how to do this!
—Gay on March 24, 2015I’ve only done one applique and am not excited about the outcome. Would love to learn the better way to applique.
—Marcella on March 24, 2015I’ve just finished a baby quilt using fusible applique with blanket and satin stitching. It’s been awhile since I’ve done applique and it took a bit of time to get back into the swing but I’m pleased with my efforts. Hand applique is something on my list of methods to try.
—Diane H on March 24, 2015I "sew" want to win this! I’ve tried hand and fusible applique. Didn’t have much luck with the fusible.
—jane d on March 24, 2015What a great giveaway! Would love to do more applique especially with my machine.
—Vickie Townsend on March 24, 2015When I first started quilting I said I never wanted to applique!!! Now it’s one of my favorite things to do. I enjoy the hand work of the freezer paper method and am making a raw edge applique quilt at the moment. But think the freezer paper with hand applique is my most favorite.
—Valley on March 24, 2015I have done a little hand appliqué. Then, last October, I bought a new machine and took the classes that came with my machine. Now, I am trying my hand at machine appliqué and am much happier with the results. I still have a lot to learn!
—Cheri Little on March 24, 2015Tried them all! Lots of fun was the needleturn class I took from Pat Sloan, way back when. (We really are that old.) Still keep that needle going.
—Patricia Hersl on March 24, 2015Ihave done them all, but like fusible applique and machine stitching. Always ready to learn new tips.
—Vicki H on March 24, 2015I have only hand appliqued. I enjoy the peaceful feeling that handwork gives me.
—Penny DeRocher on March 24, 2015I’ve tried machine applique with Heat n Bond. It worked out well enough on the shirt, but I have never done it on a quilt. I would love to learn the right way to do applique on a quilt!
—Leigh S on March 24, 2015I have done quite a bit of applique, but I’m always looking for new/better methods.
—Gaye Paquet on March 24, 2015Types of applique I have done to date.
Fusible with and without embroidery accents.
Freezer paper & starch method
Have a class on needleturn tonight
Guess I like applique 🙂
—Sandra Visser on March 24, 2015I have only done the fusible – a KC star quilt BOM but I did them backwards. I guess it really didn’t matter for the design since I did not put them where they had them on the final layout. Still haven’t quilted it but did do the hand blanket stitch around each design – I like doing it by hand. It is always nice to have some hand stitching to travel with to appointments. I have not gotten the hang of needle turn applique.
—Cindy Wienstroer on March 24, 2015I have done all of the applique methods. Sure would love to WIN!!!
—Judy Tope on March 24, 2015Applique is my favorite thing to do. I do fusible machine applique all the time.
—Chris Archer on March 24, 2015I have just started my quilting hobby and had my mind set on only sewing on the machine. No appliqué for me. I am a machine person. Then I began looking for inspiration and all these beautiful quilts with hand appliquéd tops keeps drawing my attention away from the machine. I so want to learn this technique now.
—Jessika Sjoberg on March 24, 2015I’ve done fusible and hand with a bit of machine applique. I would love to improve all my skills. Love Pat’s Facebook page!
—Lessa Adams on March 24, 2015I’ve not done hand applique but everything else. I want this book!! This is a great give-away. Thanks!! Connie in California
—Connie on March 24, 2015I’ve mostly done machine appliqué, but I would love to learn more techniques.
—Marguerite Blodgett on March 24, 2015I have tried all types and i think i prefer hand applique i just feel i have more control fusible isnt bad i really should take a class to perfect that technique thanks for the chance to win
—debra on March 24, 2015I love appliqué! I,ve tried all 3 but do more machine appliqué than anything else. I need to experiment with different threads. I think your book will teach me a lot even though I have quilted for many years.
—Virginia McKenzie on March 24, 2015I have tried a little fusible applique, but I would love to learn to do it better and also I would like to try needle-turn applique. I really like hand sewing and find it very calming.
—Cindy Luedeman on March 24, 2015My first applique experiences were by machine, but I have also experimented with hand applique. I’ll try hand applique again once I get some new glasses!
—Barb on March 24, 2015I have tried all three types of applique. This book looks really interesting and fun (course isn’t everything Pat does fun?)
—Kristen on March 24, 2015I have done all three methods. I love appliqué.
—Joyce Baird on March 24, 2015I’ve used fusible machine appliqué several times, but I recently learned to do needle turn. I love needle turn appliqué’s look, but I have difficulty with corners.
—Barb Baumann on March 24, 2015I have used fusible applique with machine finish, and hand finished applique. Would love to learn different finishing techniques. Thanks.
—Rosalie Knoll on March 24, 2015i am a piecer and have never learned applique. but i would love to learn a really great method. i really love quilts that combine applique with piecing.
—Shannon O on March 24, 2015I’ve tried all 3, but I really didn’t like the hand stitching. I really like the fusible with machine blanket stitch. Would love to play with this gift. Thanks.
—Jenelle Boxberger on March 24, 2015I’m a newbie quilter and have applique on my "to learn" list. Love an appliqued quilt! Just need a little time, and some good tools….
—Kat Todd on March 24, 2015I have used all three processes in applique. I do like the looks of each in different ways, but I use machine applique the most with my Viking Ruby. I have bought lots of digitized designs and love the way they look! I would like to get better with hand-sewn applique, so this book would be perfect. Pat Sloan is the best!
—Kathy E. on March 24, 2015I have tried needle turn and been frustrated. Fused is better but am excited to see how to make it less bulky. I’m very interested to learn more about thread too.
—Melody Schmitz on March 24, 2015I have tried all 3 methods. The technique I choose depends on the project and my mood at the time. I love applique. It adds so much to my quilts.
—Pamela Keirstead on March 24, 2015The quilt store I frequent has a club where you get a pattern and the fabric to make a block. If you finish it and bring it back to the next meeting, you get the fabric and pattern for the next block for free; otherwise it is $5. You never know what technique will be required, so it is a learning process. All of that to say that I have only done the applique that is required for that program! It has always been fusible applique, and I’m not a big fan. I’d like to see what Pat’s method is, because I love the look of applique, but up to now, I just don’t like the process of doing it.
—Barb Johnson on March 24, 2015I have done fusible and machine applique.
—Linda wachel on March 24, 2015I have tried all 3. I like machine applique but I agree that it’s too stiff. I’d love to try your method!
—Brenda Hulsey on March 24, 2015I taught myself to machine applique several years ago when I gave up on needle turn. And I love it. I know I could learn a lot from Pat. Thanks for the opportunity to enter the giveaway.
—Roberta Johnson on March 24, 2015I’ve never tried applique, it looked too daunting. I may have to change my mind!
—cynthia on March 24, 2015I have done all three types of applique. Definitely prefer machine because I actually complete projects!
—Karen A on March 24, 2015Love, love, love all kinds of applique, but always ready to learn more!
—Catherine on March 24, 2015I have done both hand and machine but not fusible. I prefer hand applique but limit those projects due to time constraints.
—Cheryl Ahrens on March 24, 2015I have done a few applique projects. I am looking forward to making some new things in the next couple of months. My appliques are not perfect so this book would be a very good way to learn some new tricks of the trade. Love all of the patterns you provide.
—Sandy on March 24, 2015I’ve tried them all, but rarely do machine applique. That’s a skill on which I would certainly like to improve and I know Pat’s book would be a great help. I love Aurifil thread for both hand as well as machine work. Pat Sloan was my guild’s guest speaker recently. What a charming and dynamic personality!
—Bette on March 24, 2015I have done all three types of appliqué. Still a bit intimidated by them but would really like to learn with confidence. This book seems perfect. I have done a small wall hanging (ufo) and made a full size garden quilt. Hope to win the book but if not, will still be purchasing it!
—Aldean on March 24, 2015I have tried all 3 methods but find that I prefer the machine method using fusible. It is a benefit to know how to do all 3 methods because there are times when I choose hand just because it offers the desired look that I am after for a particular project.
—Lewcrese on March 24, 2015I have done fusible and machine applique in the past but am currently making my first quilt with hand appliqued flowers. I find it very relaxing the be able to sit in my easy chair evenings and hand applique. I think this is a technique I will continue to enjoy!
—Judi Rizzo on March 24, 2015I have done both machine and fusible and just recently took a class on hand appliqué. Really like the creativity that applique offers. Thanks for the chance to win such a generous and useful prize package.
—Cindy on March 24, 2015I love applique. I have done all three methods with success. I absolutely love to hand applique with silk threads but the joys of fusible cannot be overlooked due to the time factor and ability to see if you made cutting mistakes quickly. I have played with a lot of machine applique stiches but have not used different weight threads. HMMM this might make all the difference. Thanks for the info!!
—Darcy Thorn on March 24, 2015I’ve tried all 3, but I’m always in a hurry to finish so fused is my fav but I love the cute extra touches in yours.
—Trudy Stubbs on March 24, 2015Love applique and would like to learn a new trick. P. Sloan is such a great teacher, her book will be invaluable to new or experienced sewist.
—DeeDee Isaacs on March 24, 2015I have tried the fusible method and didn’t like the feel (stiffness) of the end result. I tried the needle turn method and am not very good at it. Would love to try Pat’s method! Thanks for the chance.
—Joni on March 24, 2015I have used all three processes in applique but mostly do the hand stitching applique because I like the look. But I am always eager to learn more! Thanks for the contest.
—Judi B on March 24, 2015I have used all 3 adn would love to do softer fusible as that is my favorite way. I am still learning something new every day as I started quilting & sewing later in life but soaking it in!
—Rowena Ball on March 24, 2015I have tried all three ways to applique. Applique is one of my favorites. I have made several full size quilts which had appliqued blocks. I like her farmers market!
—Barb Baumann on March 24, 2015I have just started quilting and I have not tried appliqué but I can’t wait to try. I love the look of appliqué so much!!!
—Angela on March 24, 2015I have used the fusible applique, with machine stitching… usually with the blanket stitch. I love anything applique!
—Susie on March 24, 2015Have done all three but never seem to get it just right. Am definitely adding this book to my library! Thanks for the chance to win.
—Kim on March 24, 2015I have never appliqued and am ready to try it.
—Audrey Erhart on March 24, 2015I never wanted to learn. But – I started with machine using blanket stitch. Have tried hand – not enough time! and blind stitch with machine, haven’t mastered that. Have done fusible, but want something more secure. So – for now, I’m sticking with blanket stitch by machine.
—Sheila on March 24, 2015Applique is my favorite thing to do. Since I broke my foot, the Dr.told me to sit in a chair with my foot propped up. NOW! That’s what I needed to hear! Applique is ready and waiting!!
—Dorothea Hoffman on March 24, 2015Fusible applique is the method I use most. I am very interested in making it "softer". I tried the hand method – but wasn’t pleased with the outcome I had-I know practice, practice, practice–but I want to get something done quicker.
—Janie Henderson on March 24, 2015I love applique but feel I have so much to learn. I have tried very simple fusible machine stitched applique and love it. I really need this book. Just love Pat Sloan! Thanks for the opportunity!
—linda-kaye on March 24, 2015I’ve tried all three but need to refine my work. This book looks like it would really help!
—Judith Hockman on March 24, 2015My first quilting instructor taught me how to hand applique. This was back in 2003. I haven’t appliqued since. Now, I’m working with a group of quilters (senior citizens) and I want to teach them how to applique; all three techniques, but I have to reteach myself first. I’m always looking for tips and techniques that will make my job easier and still exciting.
—Rolanda LeBron on March 24, 2015I love to applique, but just couldn’t get the hang of making my button stitch look neat and professional. After playing with tension, stitch length, width and lots of scraps I have finally gotten the look I love. I’m still not super pleased with the way I pivot, sometimes great and sometimes not so good. Practice, practice and I’m interested in Pat Sloan’s new book as it just might be the answer I’m looking for to help me make my applique as pretty as I desire.
—Betty Grove on March 24, 2015Oh my goodness, this question brings back memories. My very first applique was a sleepy bear on a baby quilt for my firstborn. As a newbie quilter, I went with fused and then a tight satin stitch all around. It actually came out quite well and my daughter has it today! After that I got away from quilting but have re-started in the last year. My plans include starting to applique soon so this book is perfect to learn the right techniques.
—indiamike2 on March 24, 2015I have done all three. I do like the feel of a needle and thread in my hang but I also like the time saved doing it on the machine. Depends on my project and what I feel the piese calls for if I do it by hand or on the machine.
—Robin on March 24, 2015I have done all three kinds of applique but more hand applique of the needle turn type.
—Peggy on March 24, 2015I’ve tried them all……….. needle turn, Hawaiian, freezer paper, old school baste the seam allowance under by hand, fusible interfacing, fusible webbing, machine stitched, hand stitched…….. love to do applique, regardless of the method. The quilt tells me what technique I need to use. Will admit, though, that hand stitching is my favorite, love to do handwork.
—Pam in AZ on March 24, 2015I love appliqué -but I’m not very good at it. I’m ready to learn how to be more comfortable with it. I’m ready to learn to be related with appliqué and be proud of what I do.
—Kay Gunning on March 24, 2015I have tried all three appliqueing techniques. I found it harder to machine applique since I am a beginner. I liked the fusable technique with hand stitching the best. I like learning how to improve my technique skills an love Pat Sloans style of quilting.
—Tina Kristoff on March 24, 2015I’ve tried all three types of applique. Also, I tried using washable glue.
—MoeWest on March 24, 2015I’ve tried needle turn and fusible machine applique. Need more practice and this would help!
—Pat Lambert on March 24, 2015I love fusible applique. I have taken a couple of classes on hand applique but did not love it. I do like wool applique, it is so nice to work with!
—Mary on March 24, 2015I have tried very little in the applique field as it scares me. I would love to conquer the applique fear!
—Vicky on March 24, 2015I have tried hand and fusible applique. I have the best results with fusible because the hand appliques I have tried seem to turn into UFO’s, while the fusible projects actually get finished. I don’t know the difference between machine and fusible, so it would be great to learn this. I agree with Melody that it would be nice to learn more about thread (and needles) 🙂
—Robyn on March 24, 2015I’ve done all 3. I can’t wait to get my hands on this book.
—Gina S. on March 24, 2015I am new at this. I never tried yet, but would love to ! I love learning new things and old.
—Darlene Estay on March 24, 2015Congrats, Pat, on your new book! I have tried machine applique before with a light fusible and a blanket stitch. Hand-turned applique is on my To Learn List. 🙂
—Barb N on March 24, 2015I love applique of all kinds and do both hand and machine applique regularly. I prefer hand applique because it is the most relaxing.
—Diane on March 24, 2015I like fusible with machine applique. Always looking for a better technique!
—Tina Youngblood on March 24, 2015I have only tried to hand applique without the best results! I have never tried fusing because of the texture I was afraid the finished product would have.
—diana schmidt on March 24, 2015All three, but still prefer fine hand applique.
—Marie on March 24, 2015I have hand appliqued, machine appliqued and used fusible. I dont think there is a right or wrong way to do it, just do what you are comfortable with, and let the project speak to you.
—Cathy Gonzalez on March 24, 2015Love to appliqué – tried all three
—Roxanne Smith on March 24, 2015I love applique. I have done all three, love all three for different reasons.
—RoseMary on March 24, 2015But, I’m still interested in learning new ways of doing applique.
Pat sloan’s book would be wonderful to use and learn from.
I have tried Machine applique in the past but would love to learn the beautiful hand applique.
—Cindy on March 24, 2015I have done all three methods of applique. At present I am doing wool applique on flannel. Fusible applique works so well for me with cottons, as well as needle turn. Machine applique is great. I love them all. I would love to win the prize from Pat Sloan.
—Patricia D. Roberts on March 24, 2015I have used hand, fusible and glue to applique. The newer methods
—Ellie Paquette on March 24, 2015have helped improve my work. Tthank you for the opportunity to win some interesting and helpful items
I love all three kinds of applique! Looks like your method is great. Can’t wait to read all about it. Thanks!
—Mary Beth on March 24, 2015I have used all three techniques. I prefer needle turn, but there are times I would like to do machine applique when I am in a time crunch. I would love to improve all my applique skills, and the book looks like a perfect way to accomplish that. The other freebies wouldn’t hurt either!
—Vicki Fox on March 24, 2015I’ve tried 2 of the 3 techniques. I save my hand work for counted cross stitch projects. My first attempt at applique came out OK, but stiff. Luckily they were wall hangings for my four kids. I’m anxious to try Pat’s technique. I’ve heard of it but haven’t tried it yet. Love the cover of the book! I want to try that and would love a chance to play with any of the prizes.
—kraftykc on March 24, 2015all three
—Barbara Korey on March 24, 2015I’ve done a bit of all three techniques, but haven’t been crazy about any of them. I’m hoping I will "bond" with Pat’s method!
—Sue Hecker on March 24, 2015I have been doing wool applique ( penny rugs) but would like to expand into doing more/different applique techniques and maybe trying my sewing machine! This book looks very interesting.
—B Morse on March 24, 2015I have been quilting for awhile now and would love to take my quilting beyond piecing to the next level. I love applique, but have only done turn needle on small things by hand. I am ready to learn your techniques to advance in applique for future quilts and upcoming Holiday 2015 gifts. SOOO looking forward to making beautiful appliqued quilts! That’s been my goal for this year. Thank you!
—Liz Ostrosky on March 24, 2015I have only done a little hand applique and a little fusible applique.
—Susan on March 24, 2015I love to do hand applique cause I enjoy the handwork. I have just recently taken up machine applique and I like how much faster it is.
—Leslie Aselis on March 24, 2015A project for my son turned into pain. I used too heavy a fusible material, my stitches were uneven a my fingers full of holes. The stitching is finally done but, I am so disappointed. It is in the UFO pile. I really need Pat’s book for expert advise.
—Bonnie Diermeier on March 24, 2015I tried all different ways but my favorite is fusible. I like how Pat Sloan teaches to cut away all but a little of the fusible stuff. I love Pat’s radio show too…I listen at work to break up my day!
—kelly wenhold on March 24, 2015I use the fusing method of applique and would love to learn a faster and easier method. Would love to learn Pat Sloan’s techniques.
—Anne on March 24, 2015I’ve tried fusible applique. I’ve finished it both by hand and machine. I’d love to try the technique in Pat’s book.
—Tracine on March 24, 2015tracinecharest at Gmail dot com
While I’ve done hand appliqué in a bit of Hawaiian quilting, I much prefer machine appliqué using a satin
—Diane Motley on March 24, 2015stitch method. Having using different stabilizer and other materials, I want to try Pat’s method using
heat n bond. I’ve seen her tutorial on her website, but really want to purchase the book and make
the Farmers’ Market quilt using her methods 🙂
I’ve tried machine, which was a major fail…was more successful with needle turn.
—jane on March 24, 2015The only applique I have done is fusible applique that is part of a BOM I signed up for. It was only the 3rd quilt I ever tried…still working on it. I would love to learn more and improve my skills.
—Denise Z. on March 24, 2015I have tried all three but, not very good at it. Sounds like Pat’s book would be the answer to my problems! What exciting prizes ! Thanks for the opportunity to win!
—Nancy on March 24, 2015Me, me, pick me ! I did some applique projects when I was quite young, I would like to do this again!!
—Angie on March 24, 2015I’ve done machine but would love to learn more!
—NancyB from Many LA on March 24, 2015I have tried needle turned appliqué will a little success. I hope to get to try this technique very soon. I have several projects with appliqué on them but have been too afraid to get started!!
—Jennifer Farrow on March 24, 2015I’ve done machine applique and needle trun applique. right now i’m learning wool applique and lots of new stitches. really like doing the hand applique more than machine. think it more creative.
—sandy malone on March 24, 2015I have tried all three but mostly use visible with a machine finish. When I have time I really like to do it by hand and even then it is only small projects
—Susan on March 24, 2015I have tried hand and fusible. Was not very successful with either, so will try Pat’s method to see if it works for me!
—Valerie Messina on March 24, 2015I am working on a needle turn applique and have some machine applique to do, but not too confident on the machine technique.
—Sue Jones on March 24, 2015Thanks for the giveaway!
I have tried all three types of appliqué. I find the machine gets done faster. It just depends on how fast I need to finish the project. also most of my baby quilts are done by machine, so they will be more sturdy. thank you for a chance to win your book!
—Marge buck on March 24, 2015I love to do machine applique but have not done any lately. I mostly do hand applique
—susan on March 24, 2015I have used the "starch" method for applique which has worked for me. I would like to try the fusible technique, especially if it leaves a non-stiff finish to the quilt. This book should help me with fusibles and machine stitching.
—Arlene on March 24, 2015I have tried hand, machine and fusible. My favorite is the combination of the three. I like to be sure that my product is going to have a long life and so I "over achieve" by first hand stitching my 1/4 hem, then I apply my fusible material, iron it down, then stitch around my applique. NOW I KNOW its going to stay. That’s my way.
—Monica Lewis on March 24, 2015I have just recently started appliqueing using my sewing machine and I really enjoy it. I am self taught so I would be very interested to learn additional methods and ways to appliqueing.
—Dana Zook on March 24, 2015I have been doing a lot of hand needle turn appliqué. Would love to try machine appliqué with Pat Sloan’s technique.
—Lillian lee on March 24, 2015Thank you
I’m just getting started in quilting so I haven’t tried applique yet, but I’m eager to learn. I’m very excited about Pat’s new book.
—Sabrina LeFever on March 24, 2015I love hand sewing, to have handy while I watch TV in the evenings. I have done machine applique that is really fun. I have also got over the fact that I am cheating by using my machine. I love doing applique with wool also. There are always new things to learn & I’d love to learn more from Pat Sloan.
—Kaylene N. on March 24, 2015I have done fusible applique but I just don’t think it holds up to lots of loving in a quilt so I’d like to try Pat’s method.
—Marilyn in Alberta on March 24, 2015I have only done non quilt applique projects, but would love to learn from Pat. Thanks for the opportunity.
—Susan Kinard on March 24, 2015Have only tried the machine way and that was quite a few years ago. I would love to take up quilting again and this prize pack seems like the perfect way to do so.
—Susan on March 24, 2015I used to do a lot of hand appliqué using buttonhole stitch. Loved it. But would dearly love to do more machine appliqué. It would be a lot quicker.
—Sue Benson on March 24, 2015Have tried all 3 methods. Prefer machine for speed and stability, but am not happy with the stiff feel of the finished quilt.
—Gail Howatt on March 24, 2015I have done several types of applique … love the look! I would love to have new ideas!!
—Debra Sovey on March 24, 2015Applique and machine are the two types of applique I have worked with. Would like to learn the fusible method. Would love to win, thank you.
—Jean Schneider on March 24, 2015I’ve done hand and machine applique with the freezer paper method. I’m always open to new ideas and would love to try these techniques.
—Deb on March 24, 2015I tried machine and hand applique,but had trouble with it. I really need some instruction with it, and more practice. Your book would be just what I need. Thank you for the chance to win.
—Kathryn Errante on March 24, 2015I have tried all three—machine applique’ works for me if the piece isn’t to detailed. Have a 9 block cat quilt to do and the 1st block has 80 plus pieces to applique’ on—I am doing it by hand and only on piece 24. They are very tiny to say the least. I like the looks of applique’ but I have called it the 4-letter word at times. Maybe this book will give me the push I need to master applique’.
—Joyce on March 24, 2015When the local quilt store opened over 10 years ago, I took an applique class and learned fun techniques…..needle turn, raw edge, machine, etc.
—Bonnie Huisjen on March 24, 2015I would say I use machine the very most.
I make lots and lots of wall hangings and this is such a nice way to compliment them.
I have tried all three. Did blanket stitch around my Dresden Plate quilt by hand so that it was portable. But have also done blanket stitch on my machine with reasonable success!
—Diane on March 24, 2015I have just started to learn applique and started with machine applique. Anxious to learn more! Thanks for the contest!
—Debra Turner on March 24, 2015I’ve tried both needle turn and machine applique but prefer the machine as I’m someone who likes to see things work up quickly. Love the Market Garden hanging.
—Enid Chapman on March 24, 2015I’ve tried the hand and fusible appliqué so far. I’m trying machine appliqué with my next project! I just love the dimension and visual impact that appliqués bring to a project.
—Shannon Clark on March 24, 2015I have done machine and fusible appliqué ….. love all of it! I would love to win this bundle of fantastic goodies! Thank you for the chance!!
—Betsy Davis on March 24, 2015I have tried all three. Love the idea of cutting a window out so the quilt is softer. Thank you for the giveaway.
—Janie on March 24, 2015I have used all 3 methods as well as machine embroidery applique. Really love your "donut" method.
—Susan Slovinsky on March 24, 2015I have tried all three types of applique. My preferance is machine quilting, although I find it a bit tedious. Probably because I am not comfortable with it yet. Maybe your book can give me the confidence that I lack. Thank you.
—Sheila on March 24, 2015I have not tried appliqué of any kind yet. I am brand new to quilting and am learning how to do everything from online videos, BOMs (Vacation Time), facebook pages (Pat Sloan ❤️Your page and quilting group), and the photos and advice I see online. Appliqué sounded to me like it would be too difficult for a beginner but after reading the blog post and seeing Pat Sloans up close photos it may be something I could learn. definitely have to get the book to learn to do it right.
—Jill DePee on March 24, 2015My favorite quiltmaking is applique quilts. I have tried all three and like them all but I do fusible most because of the time factor. My favorite to do is hand applique.
—Juanita Durie on March 24, 2015I have done very little applique – all by machine. Did you know APLK is a four letter word???? (Maybe this book would teach me some tips to make it easier!)
—Kathy Franklin on March 24, 2015Love applique. I haven’t done a lot of hand, but love doing machine and fusible. Thanks for this giveaway.
—Terri on March 24, 2015I mostly machine applique. I have done some hand applique. I just finished two wall hangings using machine applique, one with invisible thread and one with several thread changes. Both were experiences beyond my wildest imagination. They are no where near perfect but I did them!! Would love to win one of these packages and have instruction from a real expert. Thanks for the opportunity to enter!!
—Patsy W on March 24, 2015I have just begun machine applique, but would really love to learn to do it the correct way! Thanks for the chance to win!
—Linda Pawlak on March 24, 2015I’ve tried all three and have found that fusible is easiest for me. Love the way hand applique looks, but couldn’t quite get the hang of it. My next step is to learn more about machine applique.
—Bert on March 24, 2015Would love to learn more about applique. Have only tried it once. So many projects, so little time. Love Pat Sloan.
—Debbie Mc on March 24, 2015I have tried all 3 and depending on the look I want is the way I applique.
—Sally Coveney on March 24, 2015I have tried hand appliqué and the result was rather unfortunate. From slight puckering by not being stretched out properly to a variety of blood drops everywhere, it was not a good job done. I did have a bit more luck with sewing interfacing on then flipping to give a finished edge then sewn on to background. My best product by far though was when I used fusible web of some sort. It was a bit stiff for my project and I did have problems keeping my stitches on my piece rather than the background. But seeing as all of these efforts were self-taught, I really did not have much in the way of guidance. The new book sounds lovely and informative.
—Sherry on March 24, 2015I have done fusible and machine appliqué.
—Lynda on March 24, 2015I haven’t really done any appliqué yet, although I have been keeping a mental list of patterns that I want to try. Having a book like this would be the perfect tutor, since it is written like a class.
—Caitlyn Howard on March 24, 2015Wonderful giveaway – I would like to learn to applique 🙂
—Carolyn Calfee on March 24, 2015I have a beautiful applique quilt kit waiting for me to begin, but I have to admit that I have very little SUCCESSFUL applique experience. Every time I open the package to begin, I find I’m overwhelmed. Pat Sloan’s book sounds like the place for me to start!
—Linda B in Maine on March 24, 2015I have tried all three. I do like fusible as the pieces stay in place while stitching.
—Gloria Chandler on March 24, 2015I have tried all three methods of applique over the years and have just now started doing fusible applique again on some table runners. I have a long way to go to be completely happy with the results but love the look enjoy the process of making appliqued projects.
—Charlene on March 24, 2015I’ve taken machine and hand applique classes and have yet to find the right teacher to help me love applique. Pat’s book looks very intriguing a d it could be what I need.
—Cecelia M. on March 24, 2015Tried appliqué just once, when I needed to add to a "blank" space on a wall hanging. I did it by machine and it turned out okay. Appliqué in general terrifies me, and appeals to me. Your book might just be the answer to getting me to jump in!
—Kate B on March 24, 2015I just took a workshop on needle-turn applique and I do like the ability to carry to Little League Baseball games or while listening to TV. Quilts with applique are among my favorites!
—Annette L. on March 24, 2015I have not used applique on quilts since I just started learning to quilt last year and have been overwhelmed with learning to cut and piece. However, I have done fusible machine applique in garments. When appliqued clothing was popular, I made a lot of appliqued T-shirts and vests some with my own designs. Oh how I would love to win your fun bundle.
—Kay Strong on March 24, 2015I have used the fusible with machine applique stitching. I have never tried hand applique.
—Chris Hall on March 24, 2015I have tried all three ways, but I have not used Pat’s method. I would love to win this bundle of goodies!
—Janette on March 24, 2015When I am doing needle-turn applique, I’ve discovered that Aurfil threads are as perfect as silk thread. I use a fine embroidery needle, and many Moda fabrics which turn and fold beautifully. Pat Sloan’s method intrigues me, and I simply must try wool applique.
—Gail G on March 24, 2015I have done all 3. I think it depends on what you are doing, which you prefer. I like the fusible for getting nice sharp edges on curves or points. also fusible works well for fabrics that tend to fray. Love to do the hand stitching while sitting with the hubby, as it doesn’t disturb him and I get something done. Have not worked with wool yet, would love to try that next.
—Ruth Biese on March 24, 2015I LOVE to applique and have done all three methods. But,,,, there is always room to learn new methods and grow your experience, so I would love to win Pat’s new book and of course, supplies to go along with it!!
—Andrea Hanlon on March 24, 2015I have tried fusible appliqué with a straight stitch. My blanket stitch is horrible. I need this book..
—Ollie M on March 24, 2015Thank you, Ollie
I have tried hand appliqué only, wasn’t happy with my outcome. All these tools, they might get me HaPPy with my outcome. Xox
—Zanna on March 24, 2015I love applique. Have only done by machine, and would appreciate any help with my projects. This book would surely help!
—Shelor on March 24, 2015I’ve tried all 3 techniques. Hand quilting is amazing if you have time! I like the blanket stitch on the machine type, but applique with freezer paper stuck to it with the iron- not so much. I think it’s tedious to iron all those little pieces on, burnt fingers, imprecise points etc! Fusible is the best- fast and more instantly gratifying.
—WendyinCA on March 24, 2015I have tried all 3 methods of applique, but haven’t quite got the hang of it yet. Would love to have Pat Sloan’s book, I’m sure it would help!
—Debra Reber on March 24, 2015I took a machine applique class about 20 years ago, and have made countless appliqued sweat suits, sweat shirts, purses, tee shirts and jackets over the years. I’ve made them for friends, family, and sold them at craft shows. They have provided many hours of enjoyment for me in the making as well as to the recipient. Pat Sloan is so creative. I would love to have her book.
—Elaine Kingsbury on March 24, 2015I have done machine appliqué using same colour thread as the appliqué since I did not know how it would turn out but could have used contrasting. Slow sewing and constant turning were key.
—Denise on March 24, 2015I still prefer to hand applique,but I have tried all three methods and each has been successful. Pat’s new book looks great and I’m anxious to learn from her.
—Ellen on March 24, 2015Buttonhole stitch by hand on a snowman wall hanging for my best friend.
Satin stitch on a 1970’s Singer portable with typing paper on an applique baby quilt with a full-sized tree and the baby swinging from a branch for my youngest sister,Rose. The Singer weighing a good forty pounds!
An easier way to do applique on my current machine would be a dream come true compared to satin stitching over typewriter paper that I did years ago!
This book sounds like it will make a world of difference in technique, design and speed!
—Carole Plourde on March 24, 2015I’ve never tried applique – I’ve always felt too intimidated by the whole process. Maybe Pat’s book will finally get me dipping my toe …
—Lesley Moore on March 24, 2015I came to quilting through little fusible appliqué wall-hanging projects. We had a fun sewing group at a small fabric shop. It was so fun to quickly decorate for different holidays and occasions with those small "do-able" projects. Twenty years later, I’m surprised how many friends have been afraid to try that quick and easy method. My hands are starting to stiffen significantly, and hand work is no longer as comforting as it used to be, so fusible appliqué is my go-to method.
—Julie on March 24, 2015Your book looks like a great way to learn and enjoy fusible appliqué!
I love needleturn Applique.I have also tried fusible but found it too stiff to sew around the edges by hand. With your techniques I will try it again and hope that I sill can do handwork around the Applique pieces. I love your books and have them all. I’m waiting to someday take your class. I realize I will never be Abe to do by hand all of the projects on my bucket list. The wool patterns are wonderful and I’m collecting wool patterns and wool for some projects. Thank you!
—Paula madison on March 24, 2015Thanks for the giveaway! Applique looks a lot of fun!
—Stephanie Lau on March 24, 2015I have done all three starting when I lived in Hawaii in the 1980s. I think I was the first to try fusible applique when I sewed a dress for my daughter’s hula competition as a soloist. I fused a Hawaiian quilt pattern of a "pua keni keni" flower on the bottom of her dress. It looked quite nice!
—Christine Payne on March 24, 2015I have done machine and fusible appliques. I would love to try hand appliques.
—Donna White on March 24, 2015Thanks for the chance to win.
I have done all three but I like machine with blanket stitch best. Always like to learn more tricks.
—Janet on March 24, 2015I did a fair amount of hand applique before I learned about fusible web. I’m still not proficient with a sewing machine so tend to stick to either hand or fusible applique. Of course, what I need is more machine practice, beginning with experiments I won’t hemorrhage over if they don’t turn out well.
—Jane on March 24, 2015I have tried all three, but would love to learn more about all of them. I love to do all kinds of projects. Thanks for the giveaway!
—Lois on March 24, 2015I’ve been wanting to learn applique since last Oct when I was taught how to make squares for quilts!! I want to learn it all!! Love it…was told I couldn’t do it all but I guess this teacher doesn’t know me!
—Linda on March 24, 2015Love, love, love it. Want to learn a new way to applique.
—Linda Smales on March 24, 2015I have not yet tried to Appliqué for the fear of doing it wrong. I really want to master this technique but need more knowledge about how to do it the proper way to have it look right and not a mess. I have been following Pat for a short time now and am picking up a lot of helpful ideas and techniques.
Sheila Murphy on March 24, 2015

—Carolyn Howerton on March 24, 2015what a wonderful idea. I have tried (and failed) machine applique I really need instruction and practice. I would love the book and aurifil thread is wonderful to work with for any type of sewing.

—Sherrie Conover on March 24, 2015I love, love, love applique. It gives a quilt so much more depth and interest. I have done fusible applique several times and have attempted needle-turn. I hope to do more in the future. I think applique makes quilts to beautiful and people just seem to gravitate toward them to get a closer look.
—Marilyn Wine on March 24, 2015I’ve tried all 3 methods of applique. Most recently I learned Hawaiian quilting on a trip to Oahu. I like fusible best because the pieces stay in place for stitching. I would love to win this prize package! How fun!
—Susie on March 24, 2015I have done all three techniques. I think whatever project I am working on will dictate the type of applique is appropriate. What a wonderful giveaway. Thanks for the chance to win.
—Ann D. on March 24, 2015I have appliqued using fusible web and machine stitching on children’s clothes and recently by needle turning for hand applique on a wall hanging of cardinals.
—betty nelson on March 24, 2015I’ve tried all three but prefer fusing and then using the blanket stitch to stitch it down. This is a great bundle giveaway. I sure hope I win, but contrats to whoever does.

—Baraka Truss on March 24, 2015I’ve tried all three methods and many types of fusibles. Currently I like Wash Away applique sheets b/c they don’t leave much behind. Our guild fundraiser quilt this year is all hand applique. We are proud of our blocks-they look much better when put in to a quilt and then quilted! Thanks for the chance to win your book-can’t wait to read it!
—Tammy in NC on March 24, 2015ive done a couple fusible applique things but I’d love to learn more.

—Judy Reny on March 24, 2015I have done all three methods of applique, and combinations thereof, but haven’t mastered any yet. Really enjoy the handwork, but like making smaller projects (wall hangings and table runners)using fusible and machine methods. There’s an application for every technique!
—Mary M. on March 24, 2015Would love to win Pat’s book and her secret to soft fusible applique ~
Hand and machine applique have always been my basic techniques, but now I am planning a quilt using fusible . Beginning slowly, I made a little mug rug to see if I could do it and was surprised at the good result. Four times through the washing machine and it still looks perfect.
—Robin Wilkinson on March 24, 2015I’ve done mostly fusible. I love it! This looks like a great book to have and would certainly love the other things also. Thanks for the chance to win!!
—Marilyn S on March 24, 2015Gosh, I am such an applique-phobe! I’ve done some fusible applique with reasonable results and also took a machine applique class in which you use the "invisible" thread — which kept breaking, so that wasn’t a good experience! Yet Pat’s techniques and designs look fantastic! I would love to give this a try because I think appliqued quilts are so special. Thank you for this opportunity.
—Susan Mulvihill on March 24, 2015I have tried hand, machine and fusible and by far love machine fusible combinations!!!!
—Norahann on March 24, 2015I have tried fusible applique once. Thanks for the wonderful giveaway.
—Trudy Keller on March 24, 2015I love appliqué of all kinds! I have to say my favorite is hand appliqué. I’ve done quite a bit of Hawaiian appliqué and quilting. It’s relaxing for me. Machine and fusible appliqué make for wonderful projects, too. I will look for Pat’s book at my local quilt stores–I’m sure she shares some fabulous tips and techniques!
—Sue Nodine on March 24, 2015Would love to win as I admire the beautiful quilts that are appliquéd. I don’t know where to start so I need to win!
—Kathleen on March 24, 2015I have just started to do applique and read everything I can about different techniques. Thread has always been an issue for me, which kind to use, as everyone tells me something different. As a newbie any information is helpful. I did learn something about the different weights to use of thread.
—Therese Waller on March 24, 2015I am currently learning applique techniques. I started with the freezer paper technique that I found on Youtube. Hopefully, I will learn more with this book.
—Jean on March 24, 2015I’ve tried wool applique for small projects such as pin cushions and wall hangings. Used a glue stick, pins and the blanket stitch with these.

—tammie schaffer on March 24, 2015These look fantastic! I love applique and I am desperate to learn!
—Andrea Smith on March 24, 2015I have tried all three types of applique, plus raw-edge applique! I prefer the fusible method for its simplicity and versatility. I can’t see well enough to do needle-turn anymore, but I can still handle my sewing machine and create amazing applique.
—Marcia Gilbreath on March 24, 2015Hi, I usually do fusible applique, with I am not always fond of, the stiffness and the gummed up needles. I tried machine applique one time but could use some tips and practice.
Your book looks like a wonderful reference tool. Congrats!
—Helen Bowie on March 24, 2015I have done several applique quilts and really like doing them. Would like the giveaway prizes and be able to learn some more techniques.

—Teresa Decker on March 24, 2015I have tried all three. Really like the look of hand applique but not all the prep work. Like fusible, but dislike the bulkiness, and stiffness it leaves behind. I am so anxious to try Pat’s way!
—Sharon on March 24, 2015I have admired applique for years but I’ve never been very good at it, I would love to learn from a master. Thank you for the opportunity to win.
—Nancy McFall on March 24, 2015I’ve tried hand and machine sewing. Never liked how they looked. Would love to get Pats book!!!!!!
—Amy Downey on March 24, 2015I’ve tried needleturn hand applique and fusible applique by machine. I can’t do hand work anymore, so I’m trying to enhance my machine applique skills. Pat’s new book looks like a great resource to improve those skills.
—Suzanne on March 24, 2015i have done applique with machine, basically self taught but I would love to win this book and learn the proper way to do it!
—Gillian Reap on March 24, 2015I enjoy all three types of appliqué. I use freezer paper and starch for my hand appliqué but would like to try needle turn. I have always been afraid of that one!
—Diane M on March 24, 2015I’ve tried all three. I love that design on the cover! Thanks for the giveaway.
—Sherri G on March 24, 2015I have done all three. But there is always more to learn! And always something to be gained by other’s experience and knowledge!
—Laura H. on March 24, 2015I love appliqué and adapt methods to the project at hand. Appliqué always has a story to tell. Even this "old dog" can learn new tricks so I’m anxious to examine Pat Sloan’s techniques in her new book.
—Jackie Pierce on March 24, 2015I have done machine appliqué — eager to try Pat’s methods!
—Nancy R on March 24, 2015Love appliqué. I have used blanket stitch by hand and fusible by machine blanket and satin stitch. Used fusible with machine applique

—Patty on March 24, 2015Would love more suggestions and tips to make my applique look awesome!
I have a very small wall hanging with fusible appliqué and bought various books on the subject. I am interested in trying more, but have not yet taken the plunge. I love the farmer’s market pattern in the pictures and would love to try this pattern.
—Dena Pope on March 24, 2015I have done both hand and machine applique. While I don’t have the patience for a lot of hand applique, I love the look and am now working on a Dresden Plate quilt. I would love to improve my applique skills and this book would be perfect. Thanks for the opportunity to win.
—Sharon on March 24, 2015I have tried all three! Would love to win this to learn more!
—Diane on March 24, 2015I have never tried applique!
—Jennie P. on March 24, 2015I mostly do machine appliqué. I recently took a hand appliqué class and was surprised how easy it was when you have the right person teaching you. I recently purchased some wool felt as I am going to try that in the near future. I have not tried raw-edge appliqué but would like to try it in the future as well.
—Cheryl on March 24, 2015I’ve done applique using all three methods. I’ve made Pat’s Farmer’s Market during a sew along–it’s one of my favorites!

—Norma on March 24, 2015I have done all 3 methods of applique when I was taking a Beginner’s Sampler class. It helped me decide which method I liked the most which is actually a combination of both fused & machine applique. Love hand applique but I find I just don’t have the patience for it….
—Carol Gearey on March 24, 2015I recently returned to quilting after more than a decade hiatus involving career change, 6 years of college work, etc, and quilting has changed so much! So many new techniques, new tools, new materials and greatly improved fusibles. I had experienced frustration with machine appliqué in the past. I am now at the experimental stage of fusing and then sewing around the edge of the shape, so I am truly looking forward to this book to learn about the full range of exciting possibilities to add more life and dimension to my projects.
Can’t wait to read Pat’s book! I have a stack of her bright, inspiring fabrics in pre-cuts that are just begging to be made up into quilts for children’s charities, and some of Pat’s Aurifil threads as well. What fun quilts I can create with Pat’s help!
—Amy Carmona on March 24, 2015Have worked with hand and machine applique, and have had some good and some bad projects. Always looking for more input to get better results. Pat’s book sounds like it could really assist in my applique projects.
—Marla on March 24, 2015Have done hand applique with blanket stitch. Machine applique with fusible, blanket and satin stitch.
—Kathy stevens on March 24, 2015I love everything quilting! I learned to sew at an early age and have never stopped. My current love is……wait for it……QUILTING!!
—Karen on March 24, 2015I have tried all three types of applique. Lord only knows how much I wish I could hand applique well. As I enjoy handwork, it seems that beautiful hand applique just is a few stitches short of, well, short of beautiful. I confess that I use fusible with machine stitching most of the time. I wish I could get consistently better results.
—Judi on March 24, 2015I have only done hand applique but would like to learn machine applique. Thanks for the giveaway.
—Elaine on March 24, 2015I love applique. I always ( I really do mean always) have a needle turn project that I sew in in the evenings.
—Debbie Camp on March 24, 2015I love to keep my hands busy and have done all types of applique. Needleturn is my favorite. I’m still an amateur. Now that body, mind and eyes are aging into retirement, I think I need to learn how to do machine applique.
The prize package offered is fabulous. Even if I don’t win, I will get some Heat n Bond to try it.
—Joan Zackowski on March 24, 2015I’ve tried hand, machine and fusible applique. I prefer hand, but it’s too time consuming since I’m trying to get a lot of charity quilts made.
I’m a real fan of Pat Sloan’s binding technique, and would love to win any of these great give-aways.
—Judy W. on March 24, 2015I have used all 3 methods. I find using the fusible very helpful especially with samll applique pieces and also when using wool. I just started doing it my machine because I’ve always preferred the look of hand stitching.
—Dawn Smolsky on March 24, 2015I have tried all 3 methods but not with much success. I love the look and would love to incorporate this more in my quilts but I need help 🙁

—Debbi Biedler on March 24, 2015Working on a fusible appliqué project now. So much can be created this way
—Evelyn on March 24, 2015I love hand. I can sit in my recliner and hand applique. It is so relaxing when I do that.
—Sherrie Pruitt on March 24, 2015I have tried the fusible and raw edge applique, using the machine. Like Pat, when I first set out in my need to learn how to quilt (doing something my Mom always wanted to learn to do) I didn’t know much about applique. Always love the look and this is where my heart is at. I have much to learn in this area and Pat’s book looks amazing. Great teaching tool. This is the only way I ever learned how to do anything by the way, by using a book, never took a class in any of my quilting years.
—Mary on March 24, 2015I’ve done hand applique on felt and a few quilt appliques using heat bond. I also didn’t like the stiff feel but thought that was the only way if you used a fusible product. Glad to know there are options. I have also done some machine applique but don’t have a blanket stitch which I absolutely love. Oh well, some hand blanket stitch would be just as beautiful.
Thanks so much for sponsoring this great giveaway!!
—Tanya on March 24, 2015Used all three methods and love them all. Each has a its own special effect. The projects in the book are very cute.
—gab on March 24, 2015I have tried all three methods and depending on the project that will determine the method I use. I love hand applique for when I am traveling, very easy to take with me. Fusible for the quick project and machine applique for the quilt that will get the most loving use! 🙂
—Marijo on March 24, 2015I have tried all three and had great difficulty with hand applique. I have made several applique quilts with fusible web, no turning but like the more finished look of a turned edge. This is a wonderful giveaway. Thank you for your generosity.
—Janey on March 24, 2015I’ve tried fusible and machine applique – everything from the starch method, soluble stabilizer, and interfacing! I LOVE applique! Thank you for the opportunity to win!
—Judy F on March 24, 2015I have tried all three, enjoy machine applique, but don’t do it often enough to get good at it. I would love to win so I can do the projects in the book and become better at it.
—Lois Obert on March 24, 2015I have tried applique…not sure what you you would call it but have had fun doing it….
—nel fraker on March 24, 2015i have tried all the methods of appliqué, but I like the fusible best. I still need help getting the corners evenly stitched.
—Joanne Tinker on March 24, 2015I LOVE appliqué ! Have tried all three, but due to arthritis in my hands, I’m basically only able to do machine to get the look I like. Always looking for a better way to do something! Thanks for taking on the new How to ….!
—Tracydvr on March 24, 2015I have done all three, but prefer machine appliqué because of hand difficulties.
—Mary Anne on March 24, 2015I have tried all 3 types of applique, with varying degrees of success. For most things I prefer to use a light weight fusible and then do a raw edge applique.
—Louise Warren on March 24, 2015I have used all three types of applique in the past. Now I do a lot of quilts for my grandchildren, so I prefer the fusible applique stitched down with the blanket stitch. It is faster and holds up better.
—Geneva Lowery on March 24, 2015i have appliqued by hand with ‘naked’ fabric in the past.
—sue carvish on March 24, 2015this was before the age of internet which meant not much
instruction. to say the least i was frustrated with trying
to keep the edge turned under. even though i know now there
much better ways of tackling applique ,i think I have shied
away because of my first attempt. your prize package would
be absolutely invaluable to me.
I’ve always been afraid of any type of applique but recently bought a new sewing machine and I really want to learn to applique with it. I have a lot of ideas of things I’d like to make but am too chicken to try! I need help.
—Barb Gordy on March 24, 2015I haven’t done applique in years. I am going to be attending a workshop through my quilt guild for wool applique. I’m really looking forward to that.

—Kris Warren on March 24, 2015I have tried all three methods as well, I still need to improve my machine applique on the inside and outside curves. Pat’s book, with the step by step photos, would go a long way in helping me improve. Sweet giveaways!
—Barb Skinner on March 24, 2015I have tried all three, with a merger of fusible and machine stitching being my favorite. I enjoy learning new methods to increase options and opportunities for quilting growth. Thanks for the info!

—Rachelle Koher on March 24, 2015I’ve done all three types. I sometimes struggle with machine applique being even, especially on curves. Would love some pointers!

—Kim Davis on March 24, 2015Love to applique. Have tried all the forms but prefer fusible and then using my machine to finish. I enjoy trying the decorative stitches on my machine for interesting/fun looks.
—Diane Gill on March 24, 2015I have tried the fusible applique. Didn’t really have any problems but it still scares me every time I think about doing applique. would like to be comfortable doing all three kinds
—Chris Jenkins on March 24, 2015I have done all three types of applique, and make my decision depending on the specific fabric or the project.
—terry on March 24, 2015I’ve used machine and fusible applique but feel like a beginner. All Pat’s instructions for quilting have been so helpful, I’m excited to learn about her applique method and try some of her design’s! And, of course, would love to win any of the prizes!!!
—Susan Petersen Harbert on March 24, 2015I have tried fusible applique and then use my machine to finish it off. I always have trouble with rounded edges, and tight spaces. I’ve tried different decorative stitches as well as playing with the stitch length. I’ve had varying results, and am looking to be more conistent in my finished product. I truly love applique, but need some guidance as to how to get a better quality look to my quilts or wall hangings.
—Joan on March 24, 2015I would love to learn and try new methods of applique. New chances to grow in quilting through your book.

—Betty Johnson on March 24, 2015I have tried all three techniques of applique but my favorite is fusible! Thank you for a chance to win these wonderful prizes!
—Donna Hollingsworth on March 24, 2015I have tried to learn applique many, many time and have finally decided that my hands just have a learning disability, the last time I took a class was just last year and again I failed and just spent more money. So once more I am willing to try. I have several applique projects in my stash just waiting for me to learn, I keep saying I know embroidery is differnt but if I can do embroidery and needlepoint why am I not able to learn applique, well I don’t know so hence I have decided I have a hand learning disability in regards to applique. The new book sounds like it might be just the thing. But who knows! I am willing to try again, again and again.
—Bette on March 24, 2015I have done fusible and machine applique, both of which I enjoy. Unfortunately, my hands don’t work as well as they used to so I don’t do much hand work anymore.
—Carol Kropf on March 24, 2015I also have tried all three, but was not very successful with machine and fusible applique. I have enjoyed my hand applique and belong to a bee where I enjoy doing that with friends. This book of Pat’s sounds perfect for me to learn how to do her method of machine applique with proficiency! Thanks for the giveaway!
—Marie Chat on March 24, 2015I have tried every type of applique there is. I developed patterns for raw-edge applique on denim along with my western patterns. Because denim is so hard to hand stitch, and I needed a rawer look. the type of fusible we had back in the late ’90’s was good for this, then machine stitched 1/8th inch from the edge. I love Martingale books. When I had my big shop their booth at quilt shows was always my first stop, no matter how deep into the display area they were.
—Elizabeth Schnelle on March 24, 2015I have done a lot of hand applique and a little fusible applique. I don’t have a blanket stitch on my sewing machine so I used a small zigzag the few times I machine stitched.
—Sheila Fernkopf on March 24, 2015Such great prizes! Thank you for the opportunity to win! 🙂
I havent tried any, but Iwould love to learn how to!
—Melissa Barker on March 24, 2015I have tried all types of applique. Enjoy the fusible type the most. Always looking for new ideas to make applique easier. Would love to win this giveaway.
—Karleen Miller on March 24, 2015I’ve done it all. Which one I use depends on the look I want. Button hole for rustic, needle turn or machine for polished. I love them all!
—Nancy Wells on March 24, 2015I have tried all 3. My favorite is hand appliqué. I love hand stitching outside on a nice day or in front of the TV in the evening!
—Denise Cabral on March 24, 2015I have tried hand, machine and fusible applique. I do not excel at any of them. I do like hand applique the best. I have done a hand appliqued quilt from one of Pat Sloan’s earlier books and love the quilt. I just need to practice more.
—Diane Morrow on March 24, 2015Knowledge is key. While I have attempted these techniques, I’m sad to day that I need A LOT more practice! Because of recent shoulder surgery I have been practicing my hand applique. It’s good therapy for the head & hands 😛
—Cindi Pytlovany on March 24, 2015I cross-stitched for so many years, once I started quilting I vowed to never hold a needle in my hand again. However, there are so many lovely patterns–it would be nice to have a book for beginners so I could learn.
—Jill Ellis on March 24, 2015I love to do fusible applique, but would love to try hand applique. Looks interesting!! Love reading your website!! 🙂
—Bernadette Schultz on March 24, 2015I have done all three kinds of applique and enjoy the results from each type. However, hand applique is very satisfying for me because I can feel the fabric and guide the needle for each stitch. I would be delighted with any prize package!
—DeeAnne on March 24, 2015I’ve tried all three methods a few times but would love to learn Pat’s. I love learning new techniques and am an eager learner.
—Marelu Greco on March 24, 2015New to quilting and would love to applique on my quilt

—Diana Salmon on March 24, 2015I’ve done fusible and machine applique, but never any of the turned-edge, by hand. This book sounds like it’s chock-full of helpful hints and will probably be just the thing to make my project results turn out more like what I had in my head! 🙂
—Karin on March 24, 2015Needle turn applique is my favorite; however I do machine applique too.
—Anita Kissell on March 24, 2015I made a queen size medallion quilt of oak leaves all done by needle turn for my oldest son. Was quite pleased with it.
At the moment I’m working on a hand applique project and a wool applique project. I’ve also done lots of fusible applique but none with the donut method.
—Billie Shannon on March 24, 2015I have tried all three kinds of appliqué, but am only really comfortable doing hand appliqué. I would love to learn Pats way. Definitely a book I need for my library
—Cindy on March 24, 2015I have tried some fusible applique and machine stitched them down. Have also done a few quilts with the hand applique to enhance certain items on them. All enjoyable.
—Joan Bruck on March 24, 2015I have done needle turn hand applique and also machine. Not sure which I like better. I guess it depends on the project.
—linda lewis on March 24, 2015I love to applique. Over the 60 years, I have tried all the methods. Some have been successful and others ?.
—Robbie Schoonover on March 24, 2015Just getting started again…your ideas are inspiring. Would love to win one of the prizes.
—Sharon House on March 24, 2015I like the look of applique and wish I could make them as pretty as the models. Still searching for my preferred method. At this point,however, needle turn is a distant third 🙂
—Donna B on March 24, 2015I love appliqué and have tried all three techniques. I am always happy to learn a new method and would love to win any of the prizes being offered. I had a quilt that was a UFO for most of 10 years that needed applique to complete. I finally asked my aunt to finish it and when she returned the blocks there was still applique work that was needed. I had to go take a class so that I could finish the quilt and am so glad I did as it adds beauty to all kinds of quilts.
—Becky Harriman on March 24, 2015I’ve done all three, lately it’s been fusible with machine stitching.
—Patricia Runge on March 24, 2015I’ve done some fusible applique. I’d cut out animal shapes and add them to onesies when my granddaughter was a baby. Always got lots of comments on them. I’d love to learn more about applique techniques.
—Judy Allen on March 24, 2015Love all methods of applique but using wool is my favorite. Definitely prefer fusible with cottons or wools. Pat’s books are always great!
—Jeannette on March 24, 2015I have done all three types of appliqué. I would love to win one of the yummy prizes!
—Julie Schellenberg on March 24, 2015I have nearly all of Pat’s books and have many projects made from them. Pat is such a good teacher and has such fun ideas. I do all kinds of applique and can’t pick a favorite. I’m just now building my stash of Aurifil thread..I have a long way to go. Thanks for your great site, I look forward to the inspiration every day.
—Linda P in IL on March 24, 2015Many years ago I did quite a lot of appliqué that was more "free style" for lack of a better word. One project
—Nancy Schuldt on March 24, 2015In particular that comes to mind is a pillow I made for a friend for a Christmas gift. I took a picture of her house and then replicated that photo in fabric……lots of little pieces along with a duplicate of that piece in stitchwichery and finally satin stitched into place. Going to give it a try again using Pat’s method this time around along with updated products!!
I have tried fusible and machine. Definitely need more practice and tips!
—debra hoyle on March 24, 2015I did hand appliqué when I was younger and had LOTS more patience than I do now! I’m beginning to get interested in fusible appliqué and would love to win this awesome giveaway!
—Barbara McDonald on March 24, 2015I’ve only done hand appliqué before. I’d love to learn to machine appliqué but have never taken the time. Something relaxing about sewing by hand sometimes!
—Sheri fowler on March 24, 2015I have tried them all, but remain appliqué-phobic.
—Tesuque on March 24, 2015I have only done fusible and machine applique. Do plan to give hand applique a try when I get caught up on all my UFO’s. However, If I should be lucky enough to win, I will definitely learn to hand applique.
—Linda Baker on March 24, 2015I love both hand appliqué & machine piecing. I’ve got a huge bucket list & limited time. I’ve avoided fusible because of the stiff products so a ‘softer’ feel would be wonderful! Winning would be awesome!
—Barbara Kellard on March 24, 2015I have tried hand applique and raw edge fusible applique.
—Virginia Over on March 24, 2015I love the look of applique and would love to learn new techniques!
—Merenie on March 24, 2015I’ve tried all three methods, but not very good at any. Maybe all I need are some tips from Pat!
—Bea K on March 24, 2015I have tried fusible applique once..and hated the result! It was so stiff. Thank goodness it was to be a wall hanging and not a quilt. I have never tried Aurifil and didn’t know there were so many choices in thread size. This is what I want to learn to do.
—Lillian M. on March 24, 2015I love using fusable for appliques. I then use either machine or hand blanket stitches to finish them.
—Kathy Osterby on March 24, 2015I have tried all three, but I can always use more information to improve my techniques.
—DebrafromMD on March 24, 2015I have done fusible but have a pattern and material for 5+ years that will be hand applique when I get the guts!
—Dwana on March 24, 2015I have just recently started to applique designs on a table runner, so a lot of the techniques are all new to me. I have only used the fusible method but upon completion of my project, I’m excited to venture ahead on another one. I have no idea of the proper threads to use, the quick and time saving steps to follow – I guess you’d say I was the beginners beginner. It would be extremely helpful to have an expert’s advice in a reference book!
—Jane Baker on March 24, 2015I have tried all methods of applique. I do love hand applique but it does take time. I try to do more fusible appliques these days quite often combined with decorative machine embroidery.
—Judy on March 24, 2015I’ve tried hand and machine, but have never used fusible. I’m always ready to learn something new!
—Teresa on March 24, 2015I started out doing applique on sweatshirts for my friends and family as gifts and used both satin stitch and the blanket stitch after fusing my pattern on. Then I migrated to quilthing. To me, this is the best of both worlds!!! Thanks for some new ideas; I can’t wait to get your new book!
—Jan Gillum on March 24, 2015I have tried all three. I think the fusible is my best option but in the past have not liked the stiffness that it creates.
—Robin Crittenden on March 24, 2015I have tried all three types of applique but definitely could use more practice. This book looks like it would be great to own.
—Judy on March 24, 2015I love to machine appliqué. I believe the hardest part is working through all of the bonding agents and what not to use.
—Kimberly P on March 24, 2015I have ordered this book. I am waiting for it !! I have several quilts lined up to make and kits in the closet that are totally applique, but have not done any for fear of making it look really terrible. I’m scared to even try !! I do however participate in FB Quilt along with Pat Sloan and it’s fantastic !!
—Lana Metheny on March 24, 2015I have done lots of hand applique and took a couple of machine applique classes at the Minneapolis Sewing and Quilt show. I learned lots and now I’m working on several quilts at a time.
—Kara Nelson on March 24, 2015I’ve done all 3 but I am terrible at machine applique! Can’t seem to get those corners right!
—Claire on March 24, 2015I have tried hand applique and am not crazy about it and would love to learn to machine applique.
—Toni Haukom on March 24, 2015Even though I love the look of applique projects, I used to hate the thought of doing applique until I learned an important tip from Pat Sloan!! When Pat was a guest and answered questions on QCA, she suggested I try using Heat N Bond Lite for fusible applique. It is a wonderful product! Since then I have made several applique projects and no longer dread doing applique! I cannot thank Pat Sloan enough for helping me!! 🙂 I would love to win any of the items in the giveaway! Thank you!
—Barbara Bettencourt on March 24, 2015I have tried all three types of appliqué. I have a new sewing machine and would like to learn how to do machine appliqué better.
—Melinda Harman on March 24, 2015I have tried hand and machine applique. While using a fusible
—joy on March 24, 2015backing. Sometimes it looks real stuff and sometimes it doesn’t. Always looking for a better way.
I’ve tried all three methods of applique. I like the look of doing applique by hand, but it’s so time consuming. I need Pat’s tricks to make my machine applique look neater. Thanks for the chance to win such a generous gift! jacklynnsteven at netzero dot com
—Jacklynn Grimm on March 24, 2015I admire well-done appliqué, and go crazy when mine doesn’t look really nice. For that reason, I usually appliqué by hand. I saw you at Chautauqua, but can’t remember everything. I really need this book as a class in hand. When I use the machine my stitches look too thin and close together. Please pick me, because with the right thread and great directions maybe mine can look more like yours.
—Marsha Sullivan on March 24, 2015I`ve tried all three and hand is my favorite, though it takes me longer and I really need to practice more. Love your website. Hoping to win so I can get more insite in how to do applique better, as I`am self learned.
—Sharon Harmon on March 24, 2015I have done all three and love them all. Have even tried wool applique. One of the first applique books I bought was one by Pat Sloan, her patterns are whimsical and fun.
—connie b on March 24, 2015I’ve tried them all but could use help with the machine applique. This book looks like something that could assist me with the technical aspects and create harmony between me and my machine!
—Marilyn on March 24, 2015I have tried all the applique methods, but always could use more tips and ideas from an expert like Pat Sloan. I’m glad it’s spring-more time to stitch applique outside.
—carol on March 24, 2015I have attempted all three types of applique, and have just joined an applique group to have others expertise.
—Janice Gillis on March 24, 2015I am a real beginner when it comes to applique, but I have tried several types. I appliqued special designs on the back of my great-grand-childrens quilts, by hand. I also made a table runner out of the Orange Peel pattern and used the double fused method and sewn by machine. Applique is an exciting and beautiful technique.
—Gladys Bacon-Rust on March 24, 2015What a wonderful prize. I’ve done a bit of hand appliqué and would love Pat’s book to transition to machine appliqué.
—Joy Love on March 24, 2015Back in the 70’s when my kids were small, I made most of their clothes – using LOTS of machine applique embellishments. I loved it! Lately, I’ve just done machine applique on things like bags, sewing machine covers, and other decorative items. Making a quilt with some applique details is definitely on my bucket list!
—Margaret Lawrence on March 24, 2015Hi All: I have tried all three methods and need some Pat Sloan techniques that help take my appliqué to new and exciting levels. Thank you for the awesome give away. Best wishes to the winner.. ;).
—Debra Caughell on March 24, 2015tried all three and love all three!
—Sara Volk on March 24, 2015I have done fusible applique on a Christmas table runner. I love the applique method with quilts. So far, I’ve just used my machine to applique, no hand work. This book looks wonderful and I’m anxious to get a copy!
—Nancy on March 24, 2015Pat, I have just begun getting to know you. I subscribe to your newsletter and am doing your vacation sew along. I have tried some applique but did not like the process ( I learned it at a retreat last year) I would love to learn your method. I can’t really do a lot of hand work (my hands tremble) But I love machine applique. Thanks for all your tutorials and I appreciate your creativity.
—Susan P on March 24, 2015I’m so excited about this new book. I’d read about it and am anxious to get it as I need all the help I can get!! I love The Sweet Life fabric, btw, and hope to do the sew-a-long with it. I have the pattern and am ready to go!! Great Giveaway! Thank you so much.
—Rosemary Barron on March 24, 2015I have not tried much on applique yet as I was afraid of goofing up but I love your new book and it inspired me to try.Thank u
—Diane Sinclair Meigs on March 24, 2015I’ve tried all three types of applique and, while I love to hand applique, I enjoy the ease and speed of Pat Sloan’s method. I’m looking forward to getting a copy of her book.
—Laurie Towle on March 24, 2015Years ago I did alot of satin stitch applique, and then began to do blanket stitch applique, and started to use fusibles. At some point, I could no longer see well enough to applique – major bummer! It was several years before I had cataract surgery, and my eyesight was restored. Now I find that I am very rusty with applique, and I think Pat’s book might be the perfect solution!
—Elizabeth McDonald (catskill quilter) on March 24, 2015I’ve done several kinds of applique, but never been thrilled with any of my results, would love to learn more of Pat’s techniques.
—Barb Park on March 24, 2015I’ve done machine quilting – I am NOT a fan of hand sewing 🙂
—Ailsa on March 24, 2015I’ve tried most kinds of applique. I’m still trying to figure out how to use those printable water soluble applique sheets. Whether fusible or freezer paper I’m still looking for an efficient way to print multiples of the same shape on one sheet and to print mirror images. Electric quilt?
—Karen on March 24, 2015I usually fuse the pieces to the background and then machine stitch around them. I really enjoy this method and would love Pat’s book and the fabric. There are endless possibilities!
—Virginia in AK on March 24, 2015I have really gotten in to machine applique. Probably obsession would be a better word. I do a mug rug for my daughter and daughter-in-law each month along with one or more seasonal projects for me.
—Patsy Ward on March 24, 2015I have tried all three. I love to hand appliqué when I have time…it is so relaxing, just like hand quilting.
—Josie Holbach on March 24, 2015I have tried all 3. My favorite is starch hand appliqué!
—Denise Cabral on March 24, 2015Interesting to receive this as I’m just finishing a spring wall hanging with applique. It has been a simple pattern but a struggle at times. I used fused with machine blanket stitch. After a few alterations (rip n redos) I can say "it’s okay". A teacher might have different opinion. I only do these about once every other year, maybe with some good hints, I might do it more often!
—betty on March 24, 2015I tried one needle turn applique quilt block and decided that applique was not for me. But then I took a class to make a fusible machine applique project. That was much more to my liking, and I would like to learn more about it.
—Kathy on March 24, 2015Hand applique is my favorite but getting better at it is always rewarding. Love to learn and quilting has something to learn at all times.
—Donna on March 24, 2015Your new book looks great. I have tried needle turn, machine and fusible applique in the past. I am always open for a new way to
—Lori Fedorek on March 24, 2015quilt and applique. Lori
I have done machine and fusible, but not hand appliqué. Would love to win your book!
—Gloria Galiana on March 24, 2015Applique has always interested me but have been nervous to start. Pat’s book looks like it is well explained and easy to follow, even if I don’t win I will buy the book.
—Laurann on March 24, 2015I have done needle turn applique and fusible applique. I really like the look of the needle turn, but am going to stick with fusible. It is so easy and looks so great.
—Heather on March 24, 2015I love working with applique.
—Diana on March 24, 2015I’ve done a little hand applique. I don’t like the stiffness of most fusible applique, so this method sounds perfect for me.
—Theresa on March 24, 2015I have done machine and fusible applique. Could always use more hints to improve those techniques.
—Barb Bryson on March 24, 2015I’ve tried all three kinds of appliqué. Hand appliqué is my chosen method for wool projects and my one "forever" quilt, but machine appliqué is preferred for regular fabric pieces.
—Judy Rosenberg on March 24, 2015My introduction to applique was the needle turn approach. I had some trouble at first but through due diligence I mastered this process. I have since tried the fusible process. I must admit my first project a lovable bear on a baby quilt left the bear stiff and not hug-able. I have since tried some other types of fusible products. I am always looking for new approaches and love to learn new techniques.
—Marge Yarnall on March 24, 2015Thirty years ago I started a quilt using hand applique. It is still in the pile of "unfinished projects". I would love to finally finish this quilt and learn the most up to date methods of applique. I believe applique is the finishing touch!
—Faye on March 24, 2015I have used all three methods of applique. I’m always ready to learn something new to improve my quilting.
—Jeanne B on March 24, 2015I’ve tried all three kinds of applique and have combined some techniques [with varying results] – taught myself years before I took up quilting as a way to spice up clothing made for my then toddler. Love to applique – adds so much interest to many different projects.
—D. L. Grzybowski on March 24, 2015I have attempted both raw edge machine applique and fused applique. I have not been happy with the results. I would really like to learn from an expert such as Pat Sloan.
—mandy laseter on March 24, 2015Would love to win the book. I have done all three types of applique. Each has it’s own look and enjoy the outcome when doing each technique. But as we all know Pat has lots of tricks in her bag and would love to learn what they are. Happy appliqueing to all…………..
—Sandra Pawlowski on March 24, 2015I have done very little applique but I want to learn. This book will be a welcome addition and a great learning tool for me

—Sunnybec on March 24, 2015My introduction to applique was the needle turn approach. I had some trouble at first but through due diligence I mastered this process. I have since tried the fusible process. I must admit my first project, a lovable bear on a baby quilt, left the bear stiff and not hug-able. I have since tried some other types of fusible products. I am always looking for new approaches and love to learn new techniques.
—Marge Yarnall on March 24, 2015I’ve tried machine and fusible appliqué but sure could use Pat’s tips to help make it easier!!! Thanks for the sweet giveaway 🙂

—Kathy Luehrs on March 24, 2015Have done all three. I really like the looks of your projects and would like to give them a try…. Thanks for the chance.
—Beulah Koen on March 24, 2015Hi Pat:
I have tried all three types of appllique. I love hand applique using wool and flannel. However, I’ve had mixed results doing machine and fusible applique so I could use some tips from your book to help my applique projects look good enough to give as gifts.
—Mary Martinelli on March 24, 2015I’ve tried fusible but have been itching to try the others!
—Ashley on March 24, 2015I’ve done fusible and machine sewing. I love appliques on quilts and table toppers. Just appliqued some stars on a quilt I’m making. Would love to win!

I have tried all three techniques and I am afraid that I am no good at all three 🙁
—Regina on March 24, 2015I’ve tried hand applique.
—Elaine on March 24, 2015I have mostly done hand applique but I have a new quilt to make that I plan to machine applique so I am excited for this new book and the tips to make this new quilt great.
—Sharilyn on March 24, 2015I have tried all kinds of applique. But I love wool applique the best. I love hand stitching of all kinds and find applique with fusibles hard to hand stitch through. My favorite stitch of course is a blanket stitch. I do some piece quilting but overall, my favorite is hand applique.
—Barbara Bowen on March 24, 2015I did appliques on my grandson’s quilt. This was my first time appliquing and I really enjoyed it.
—Agnes on March 24, 2015I’ve tried them all with varying degrees of success; would love to be much better!!
—Judys on March 24, 2015I am just starting to learn more o applique after being a quilter for 25+ years. Would love to win it would definitely help my learning! Thanks Pat for so many opportunities to expand our knowledge.
—Georgia baker on March 24, 2015I’ve done all three types of applique, yet still consider myself a beginner. Still learning, still loving all kinds of applique.
—Sally on March 24, 2015I have only ever tried fusible applique. The first time was in a beginning quilting class. I don’t know what kind of bonding the teacher gave us to use, but it turned out really stiff. Then we did a satin stitch around it. I can’t wait to try using a blanket stitch. Another time my sister and I started a wall hanging as a gift for our mother. Again, we must have been using the wrong kind of bonding because when we peeled the paper off the adhesive came off with it. What a mess! I really need your book. I love the look of applique, and want very much to learn the proper methods. Thank you for considering me.
—Joan Unruh on March 24, 2015Back in the 80s I tried applique…the edges were difficult for me to turn under and the circles weren’t exactly round. Back then we did a lot by hand, not by machine as they can do today. Needless to say, I haven’t tried to applique since, even though there’s some beautiful patterns out there. This book looks like I might be able to try my hand, and machine, at the fusible applique.
—Sheila D on March 24, 2015I’ve fiddled with many types of applique. At the moment my favorites are hand applique with felt or machine applique with cottons. On all of the techniques I would definitely benefit from more projects (aka more practice).
—Beth at Sierra Stars on March 24, 2015I have done all three. I recently finished a Quilrters Garden quilt top using fusible with machine embroidery. Love it!
—Ellen Fontaine on March 24, 2015I love appliqué and have done all three. Love the look of hand but machine is much quicker

—Kathy Hancock on March 24, 2015I have tried all three but have had trouble with the machine method. Hand sewing has been my best
—mary johnson on March 24, 2015I’ve done both hand and machine applique. My fusible appliques are always stiff so I’m interested in trying your method of soft fusible applique.
—MaryAnne on March 24, 2015I’ve done fusible and machine applique…would like to try hand applique also! Love Pat Sloan’s books!
—Judy W on March 24, 2015I have done fusible and machine applique. Did try hand applique once in a class. Thanks for the chance to win this great prize.
—Karon on March 24, 2015I have never tried any applique.
—Beda on March 24, 2015Definitely something I will have to look into.
From what I see here you do beautiful work.
I’ve done all three types of applique. I find that there is certain type of quilt for each of the forms – sometimes even together. The patterns in this book are so cheerful. They would be so much fun to make. Thanks for the opportunity to win.
—Michelle on March 24, 2015I love applique!! I’ve done all three types of applique, but needle turn is my absolute love for special projects. I also love fusible for lots of projects.
—Maurine Johnson on March 24, 2015I really need to win this book – am always in awe of other quilter’s appliqué skills – perhaps with this book to guide me over the rough spots I too could be an appliqué master. Thank you very much for the opportunity.
—Garnet Underwood on March 24, 2015I have not done any applique…have not been quilting very long….

—Ricia Velasco on March 24, 2015I have done fusible applique and machine applique; fusible is my favorite, with hand blanket-stitching. I do a lot of applique and love it!!
—Darcia Dugger on March 24, 2015I’ve done all three. Some Pat’s patterns were my first projects.
—Jo Anne on March 24, 2015I done hand and fusible applique, but would love to learn more about applauding.
—Zandra Nevalainen on March 24, 2015I’ve appliqued by hand, machine and fusible webbing! While I love the hand appliqué the best, the machine is so much faster. So, it’s better for larger appliqué. While, the hand appliqué is easier with smaller pieces. Some of my art quilts are just made with fusible webbing, but, I do like to do a little raw edge appliqué on it now. Thanks for the great giveaway!
—dianna eickhorn on March 24, 2015I don’t have a appliqué book and would like to add. To my library. The other goodies would be nice too. Lol
—Rosalinda Call on March 24, 2015I have tried my hand at fusible web applique w/ the sewing machine. I would love the book, it would help me.
—Laurie P on March 24, 2015I have done small hand applique projects (mainly cushions) but anything larger than that seems too daunting.

—Lynn on March 24, 2015i have only done fusible appliqué and dreaded sewing around the edges. I will be getting your book and learning how to do it properly.
—Grace Niederlehner on March 24, 2015I love doing hand work while watching TV in the evenings, I find it very relaxing and I am accomplishing something while doing it. I recently got into wool applique so anxious to try others also.
—Karen G on March 24, 2015I made a valentine mug rug for my husband using Pat’s One for You One for Me fabric line and appliqued the heart. That’s the only time I’ve attempted applique, but would love to learn how to really do it!
—Jinger on March 24, 2015I do primarily needle-turn applique but have done fusible with machine blanket stitch finish. Love the ideas in Pat’s book.
—Margie Jones on March 24, 2015I am a relatively new quilter and love the look of applique. Thus far I have done some hand applique, machine applique and used fusible to stabilize my appliques to a bigger project. I would love to win!
—Jenny Ballou on March 24, 2015…have tried all three and usually feel I’d best go back to piecing! I’d love to win … and would certainly put it to good use. Thanks for bringing us the many delightful artist/tutors.
—Sandra McFerran on March 24, 2015I love applique and am always looking for more "tips"! I did a bunny quilt, basket quilt, and my very first quilt was a baby quilt for my first granddaughter with lots of fun animals appliqued!
—April on March 24, 2015iI have done needle turn, freezer paper, fusible and raw edge appliqué.
—Michele Cummings on March 24, 2015I feel like appliqué is the candy treat I get hen I have been diligent about piecing.
I have done fusible, machine and hand applique. I prefer to do hand applique with wool and flannel. With flannel I like to make a full facing, turn it and then hand applique. Depending on the project, I may hand or machine applique using a fusible method on cottons. Needle-turn applique not my favorite method but I use it in some situations. Love Pat Sloan’s books and work!
—Marilyn Fite on March 24, 2015I love machine applique the best – and you can use some of your fancy stitches to add interest. I have done both fusible and then I have also used the interfacing technique and have put batting in to add more dimension to the flower, bug, etc.
—Kimberly on March 24, 2015I tried hand applique when I took a beginner class a couple of years ago. I have not been brave enough to try the others. I love the look of applique.
—jackie on March 24, 2015I’m a totally new and have never tried appliques before. This would be a wonderful way to learn. Good luck with the book I hope it brings in plenty of income for you.
—Rayne on March 24, 2015I’ve done all three methods and they each have a specific use, but enjoy the machine applique most.
—Carole Diehl on March 24, 2015I have only appliqued by hand.
—Greta on March 24, 2015I use the fusible and machine applique. I love applique to add things to quilts. I seem to be drawn to applique items more and more. It takes a little extra time, but the end result is just so beautiful. I taught myself how to do it and I just can’t get enough.
—Gina Schimmel on March 24, 2015I have used fusible and then machine stitched, using blanket stitch. I’m anxious to check out your book. Thanks for the chance.
—Pamela on March 24, 2015.
I have tried, with varying results, all three. However, my sister who is an amazing quilter did the "Little Brown Bird" applique quilt, and it is stunning. If I win, I would like to gift it to her, and I know that what she produces will be a work of art. She has the true eye of an artist, and the techniques of a master quilter.
—Marcia Gault on March 24, 2015Actually, the first quilt I made was an applique quilt – French Roses from Quilt Pink!. It was machine applique with raw edges, so no turning under or other fussy stuff. I’ve also done fusible applique and Pat is right – all stiff and un-quilt-like. I like Pat’s approach and have a couple of projects that I want to use it on. Her book would be super helpful! Thanks, Pat!
—Karen Smith on March 24, 2015I have tried the fusible and love it and it would be great to learn Pat’s secrets too. I had one issue with applique and Pat’s book may solve that problem…I was fuzzing a teddy bear and got some of the fusible on the top of the quilt…problem solved by adding a balloon and string to the teddy bear but I was very distressed when this happened so I would surely benefit from an expert…Thanks for the opportunity to maybe be a lucky winner.
—Barbara Dolan on March 24, 2015I’ve tried all three methods, hand stitching is my least favourite. I try to add some applique to each piece I quilt. I feel applique adds a little of me even if there isn’t applique in the pattern. Flowers, either simple blooms or really jazzed up exotic bouquets are my favourite means to include a bit of me as gardening in also my hobby.
—Sylvia on March 24, 2015I have tried all three methods and always go back to my first love of hand applique, although fusible is good for a fast method.
—Ann Connors on March 24, 2015all 3, and i love them all! i am drawn to oversize applique over pieced backgrounds, and applique borders on bed quilts. thanks for a chance to win!

—Sarah on March 24, 2015I don’t care for hand work, so I do machine applique, I use a fusible web to adhere the pieces and then top stitch with a zig zag, satin stitch or blanket stitch. I have done small wall hangings, runners and smaller quilts with applique.
—Beth Davis on March 24, 2015I have done it all, can always use more instructions and inspiration.
—Shelley Mclaren on March 24, 2015I’ve tried all three, but am not proficient at any. However, practice makes perfect, and I plan to keep practicing! 🙂
—Sue H on March 24, 2015I have tried all three types of applique and like all three. Each has it’s place in quilting.

—Debra B. on March 24, 2015Have attempted all three types..hand applique is not my finest hour.
—Nikki Mahaffey on March 24, 2015I have done hand, fusible with machine and also reverse applique by hand. I like to see results fast so I usually stick with fusible! This prize package is AMAZING!!

—Carol Fish on March 24, 2015I have done all three……just love applique!!
—Barb Spurr on March 24, 2015I am a newbie at quilting and applique’ and want to do all I see. LOL My latest itch is to do a quilt for my daughter, the head coach of the CyWoods Wildcats who just won the Texas 6A State Basketball Championship. I want to applique pictures of the team members & coaches onto leopard material and applique jungle greenery & other mascots on the quilt as well. They truly went through a jungle of teams to get to the top. Your new book and any of these products would surely help make this idea an adventure in learning! Be blessed!
—Virgie Viverette on March 24, 2015I have tried fusible machine applique on a fall wall hanging but could use lots more tips!
—Barb K. on March 24, 2015I started with hand applique and using the fusible method. I’ve tried machine applique but haven’t mastered that skill yet.
—Cheryl on March 24, 2015I’ve tried hand applique but have wanted to learn fusible machine applique. Thanks for the giveaway.

—Carol Nichols on March 24, 2015I’ve tried hand and machine but not fusiable.

—Sandie @ crazy'boutquilts on March 24, 2015I have only done fusible appliqué using a straight stitch. I would love to learn how to hand appliqué. My great great grandmother hand stitched a lot.I would love to start so I can pass some knowledge down to my daughter one day. She is 5 & loves to watch me sew. Thanks for the giveaway!
—Crystal Austin on March 24, 2015Please, me! I’ve always wanted to learn!
—Billie Quam on March 24, 2015I’ve tried (more or less successful) hand and fusible appliqué. Sadly my machine doesn’t have a blanket stitch and so no machine appliqué for me:-(
—Hildy on March 24, 2015I have done all three. But, have a hard time with machine. Can’t seem to get the stitches right. Would live to have this book.
—Dolores Abshire on March 24, 2015Hi, I can do turned, hand blanket and machine applique. I love to hand blanket stitch my applique. But I would love to learn of any extra hints or tricks that may improve my technique. Thanks for the chance to win. Pam White ( from New Zealand)
—Pam White on March 24, 2015I have tried applique. Not real confident about doing it. Pat Sloan’s book would be great. I need some encouragement.
—Ruth Ewanika on March 24, 2015I’ve done hand applique and fusible web applique. I’m really wanting to learn machine applique. This book sounds awesome. Love Pat Sloan!!!
—Donna Coulter on March 24, 2015I have tried all three. My needleturn applique is not very good but I love appliquing wool. No turn under needed. I use fusibles on both my machine and wool applique.
—Donna Keating on March 24, 2015i have only tried machine so far.
—Chris on March 24, 2015I have tried fusible by machine, and freezer paper also by machine. Would love to do more applique!
—MargaretK in VA on March 24, 2015I adore hand applique. Unfortunately, arthritis in my hands has made it virtually impossible for me to continue to enjoy this form of needlework. I have been working on machine applique, but have not yet been satisfied with my results. Perhaps this book by a wonderful author and teacher would be the thing to help me master this new art form.
Thanks for the article and for the giveaway!
—Ruth Rocker on March 24, 2015I haven’t done very much applique but what I have done was fusible with machine. I always prefer what I like to call "instant gratification" so I tend to stick with what’s quick and easy!! Thanks so much for the chance to win – what a fabulous giveaway! 🙂

I have done a little bit of hand and fusible applique, and machine applique is on my quilty resolution list for this year. I’d better get to it!
—Karen Seitz on March 24, 2015I’ve really needed a book like this & the supplies would be great too!
—Catharine De on March 24, 2015I’m a leaker when it comes to memory. Having a step by step book of instruction would be GREAT!!! I’ve done one small project & ended up doing it by hand as I didn’t know how to adjust all my machine settings & feet. It took me DAYS to accomplish. I’m also a leftie.
All three methods have been tried by me: Hand applique for Hawaiian quilting, machine applique for clothing, fusible applique for quilting projects. Each method is fun and rewarding! With your prize package, maybe each type will go faster with tips from Pat Sloan. Mahalo for the great offer!
—Carolekt on March 24, 2015I have not appliquéd anything yet. I’m excited to learn how. If anyone can teach me, I know Pat Sloan can. Thank you for the chance to win. So generous!
—Julie Hollibaugh on March 24, 2015I have used fusible applique with hand finishing. I’d love to learn to use the machine to go around my pieces but a bit scared to try! I’m 67 and hoping I can teach this old dog some new tricks!
—Margaret T on March 24, 2015I have tried all three, I usually do machine stitching because the hand stitching takes so long and the fusible was stiff when I tried it! I would love to win this and try your methods!
—Theresa Brooks on March 24, 2015Applique is one of those things that requires tons of experimentation and practice!
—Annette Crain on March 24, 2015I love the look of applique on quilts, so I practice quite a lot.
Thanks.

I am just learning, but I usually do a combination of all three. I do a bit of embroidery on the pieces i fuse on before a machine stitch them. Applique has become a new treat for me!
—Karen Cudney on March 24, 2015I have tried all three types. Hand applique usually gives me the best results but it is time consuming.
—Cindy Schneider on March 24, 2015I have done just machine and fusiable
—sharon cottrell on March 24, 2015I have only done hand applique in the past and found it much too time consuming and tedious to continue. Way back in the seventies I appliqued felt to burlap and found success but that is no longer popular.
—Herma Hughes on March 24, 2015I have done all three types of applique, though I consider myself a newbie. I like to do try lots of crafts, so don’t ever get too bored, I guess. I also like to applique plain t-shirts so try lots of techniques that way.
—Ruthi Rayford on March 24, 2015I have mostly done needle turn style hand applique. I have tried machine applique. The raw edge style where you zigzag around the different pieces.
—Lori S on March 24, 2015I have done all three but for quick projects I like the fusible. Will have to check out the book for Pat’s method. Love Aurifil for piecing haven’t tried for applique.
—BJ on March 24, 2015Fusibles are by far the easiest and then include your own hand
—Tanya P on March 24, 2015embroidery design but also do machine applique and so it is
hard to decide sometimes. It all depends on my mood and the
piece I work on. Thank you!
Applique has never been my favorite. Perhaps your book will change my mind?
—Tina Ennis on March 24, 2015I’ve actually done hand, machine, and fusible applique. Don’t know which is my favorite but I like the results for all three!
—Allison Evrard on March 24, 2015I have tried freezer paper, needle turn and machine applique. I like the freezer paper method the best so far.
—Bobby on March 24, 2015I have appliqués — hand, machine and a little fusible. I would like to be more confident with it, especially the hand work.
—Pam morris on March 24, 2015I like and do all kinds of applique. I even thumb my nose at the quilt police and do different methods on the same project! I love Pat’s stuff and Aurifil and Moda…well, swoon! Aurifil is my favorite thread. thanks for the chance to win!
—Kathy Pennell on March 24, 2015I’m new to quilting and I have never done any appliqué as of yet. But I’m ready to do my first machine appliqué as soon as I finish the quilt I’m working on.
—Linda Witzel on March 24, 2015I’ve tried all three methods and am not really happy with any of them. Pat’s method looks like it might be my answer and I’d love to try it out.
—susan on March 24, 2015This giveaway looks absolutely amazing and I really, really hope I win!
Thanks for the opportunity and your generousity!
I’ve tried all three but need to brush up on my technique. Pat’s book would certainly help!
—Miss Jean on March 24, 2015I have tried all three – hand, machine and fusible applique. I love needle turn applique on larger shapes on wallhangings and like using a blanket stitch on penny rugs. Fusible is great for small pieces on wall hangings that won’t need to be washed. Machine applique is also great for wall hangings and is my preferred method on quilts, table runners and placemats. Applique is fun and addictive!
—Gail S on March 24, 2015I just started appliqué and I love it. I did an Elephant wall hanging, 40X50. It was done by cutting out 100s of fabric pieces. I used Steam a Seam 2. I did it as a collage. It is being machine quilted. I would love to receive Pats book and all the give aways to learn more and be able to do this so it could be cuddled as quilts should be. I am 61 and a 7 x ovarian cancer survivor and just started a new chemo with less side effects so am praying I get to do lots more sewing. Life is a gift daily and I want to learn new things and teach my granddaughters so they can hand this down to their children. You are never to old or to young to learn something new.
—Carol on March 24, 2015I hope I am the blessed winner of this give away and thank you for the chance to win.
Carol
Your method looks beautiful. I began quilting in the 80’s and learned to paper piece. I truly enjoyed applique. It was soon after that that I had a job that required long hours and a lot of driving. Needless to say, that put a damper on quilting. Sixteen years later I retired and was able to take up quilting again. I realized there are new ways to applique and would be very interested in improving my applique as I have seen quilts that were so beautiful and would really love to complete a quilt to be proud of.
—Sandy Dallas on March 24, 2015I’ve done hand applique, machine applique and fusible applique. Whatever works for whatever the project is…that’s the way I go. (And the weather outside my window is "Marching" right now.)
—Whiskers on March 24, 2015I’ve done some small bits of hand applique but always felt it wasn’t durable enough to use on a quilt. I’d love to learn to machine applique with this kit.
—Sherry Jurykovsky on March 24, 2015I’v tried all three but like machine and fusible the best. I hope I am one of the lucky winners.
—Myra Sattler on March 24, 2015I have tried all the applique techniques I enjoy fusible by machine most. I still need more pointers in how to do it right. This is a great prize that’s for giving us a chance to enter!
—Joyce Wilson on March 24, 2015I have tried machine applique once and some hand applique. I love the look of it and want to get better at it.
—Marlene Vossen on March 24, 2015I do a lot of appliqué. Almost all of it is fusible with machine stitching, although I have done some hand appliqué as well.
—Denise on March 24, 2015I’ve tried all 3 kinds of appliques – hand, machine, and fusible. I love using fusible to do wool applique work the best. Thanks for the generous offer to some lucky winner. Me?
—Amy Cofer on March 24, 2015I’ve tried all three and find that each has it’s place. Thanks for the chance at such a wonderful prize package. Someone is going to be VERY happy.
—Rina on March 24, 2015Yes, I’ve tried all three methods, but have settled on mostly fusible and occasionally machine. I just don’t have the fine motor skills required for hand work.
—Sandy W on March 24, 2015I have used needle turn and stuff with freezer paper, your ideas color and inspirations are sew fun.
—Joanne on March 24, 2015Would be a delight to win and share with my quilty sisters!
I’ve only done hand applique, in a class. I want to learn fusible before I use the technique on a quilt.
—Mary Carroll on March 24, 2015I am a beginner to appliqué. I have tried fusible and machine stitched the edge. I would really love to win! Fingers crossed
—Kim Zwicker on March 24, 2015I have used all three techniques but much prefer my machine applique stitch. It is always so even and makes a great display. Would love to win a copy of your book on applique. Thanks for the opportunity.
—Cheryl Buchanan on March 24, 2015I have not tried appliqué. Too intimidated. I have many ideas of how I would like to! Love Pat Sloan!
—Erika on March 24, 2015i do mostly needle turn on cotton and a lot of wool appliqué. Definitely afraid of machine appliqué and would love to learn.
—Gloria Mannel on March 24, 2015I love doing all types of applique. I especially love working with wool.
—Kathryn Rogers on March 24, 2015I have tried all types of applique but prefer the fusible method the best. Thought I like handwork, I don’t enjoy the needle turn method. I like "instant results" and that seems to take too long. I would love to learn how Pat does it.
—Pam on March 24, 2015all three depending on what I was putting it on
—Lawana Whaley on March 24, 2015All three. But still deciding on favorite.
—Laura on March 24, 2015Congratulations on the new applique book Pat!! I’d love to win this great prize and sure could use a bit of help with my applique. <3 Thanks!! Are you sure you couldn't twist a few arms and give several prizes? Lots of us would like to be lucky enough to win this!!
—Anne Marriner on March 24, 2015I love applique! I have done machine and fusible, but would love to learn new tips!,,
—Marla merryman on March 24, 2015I have done hand applique once, a very long time ago, for a non-quilting fabric project. I would love to learn more!
—Karen Cohn on March 24, 2015I’ve tried fusible years ago but didn’t like the stiffness of the applique on a shirt. I’d like to try it again using the new products and techniques to make it soft.
—Norma on March 24, 2015I love to appliqué and I also love Pat Slone’s patterns. I am looking forward to the new book.
—Mary Goedge on March 24, 2015just retired in January working on the quilting skills my mother tried to teach me as a teenager when I did not know enough to pay attention! She has been gone now for almost 40 years! I have done lots of hand applique but interested in learning to do machine.
—Lynda Clausen on March 24, 2015I have tried all three, and still like hand applique the best. I see a project I want to make, tell myself I will do it by machine, it will be quicker, etc., but when I get to cutting out the shapes, I revert to hand applique. I really like the look of turned edges without any stitching showing. Even with turned and stitched by machine, you can still see the stitches, no matter how narrow the stitch, or fine/invisible the thread. I guess it depends on the look you want to achieve.
—Janet T on March 24, 2015I have done all three types you mentioned. Even done different hand embroidery stitches to give a unique finish. Not sure which is my favorite technique. Just depends on the project I’m doing. Always enjoy hearing and seeing other methods.
—Judy Kunkler on March 24, 2015I love to do fusible applique and blanket stitch it by hand. I enjoy having something to keep my hands busy in the evening while I watch TV. Thanks so much for a chance to win, I would love all that Heat N Bond to play with and all the other goodies! What fun I could have!
—Marsha B on March 24, 2015I’ve tried all three and, so far, I like fusible outlined with machine blanket stitching the best. There is something relaxing about listening to the rhythm of the machine while it stitches around the applique.
—Deb on March 24, 2015I recently completed a quilt and purposely tried several techniques in piecing and applique. So I have tried several types of applique and am happy that there are several to choose from as each has its benefits. Love the look of applique and hope to get more projects done soon.
—Jeanne on March 24, 2015I have done many types of applique. Needle turn, machine, and fusible. I also use my embroidery machine to applique now as well! Love to have options!
—Kathy English on March 24, 2015I just tried a bit of fusible, machine applique with Laurel Burch fabric. Results? Acceptable but I really want to perfect my skills. I really enjoyed the process and I can’t wait to do more. Pat Sloan’s work is delightful. Thank you for the opportunity to join your amazing contest.
—Maureen Niemeyer on March 24, 2015I have tried all three applique techniques and depending on what I’m creating I may use all three in a quilt. I love Pat Sloan’s patterns!
—Estie on March 24, 2015I’ve done all three. For relaxation I like hand, but if I need the quilt object for an occasion and have less time, I will machine applique.
—Darla Zimmer on March 24, 2015I am a new quilter and have only tried hand applique…I love needle turn applique! I would like to try machine applique but not sure if my sewing machine would like it. 🙂 I would love to try Pat’s method!
—Angelia L. on March 24, 2015I love applique and I’m so excited to get my hands on Pat’s new book. Her work is really amazing and she is a great inspiration. Fingers crossed that I might get lucky. Thank you for this opportunity.
—BevM on March 24, 2015Have not had a lot of success with my past attempts to applique. I am particularly interested in your comments re stiffness of the finished applique. I find this to be one of its greatest drawbacks and I am very interested in your ‘softness’ technique.
—Carol Pelczar on March 24, 2015Fusible couple with machine stitching is the only applique’ I have attempted. The fusing part seems simple enough, if I could lose the stiffness from the fusing product. My real challenge is producing a nice machine stitch after the fusing part is done.
—Jeanna on March 24, 2015I have always found that applique is too hard to do, but your book make it look so easy. I would love to win this book and try my hand at applique using this method.
—beth daniels on March 24, 2015I am trying machine applique right now. Very challanging for me being my first time trying it. I am reading everything I can find about it.
—P. cummins on March 24, 2015I have tried all 3 techniques. Hand applique is going fairly well on a pillow top made with batiks. Fusible applique is really fast for me and I have finished several small wall hangings using that technique. Machine applique is the something I really need some guidance with since I have tried it on a small project with limited success. In other words, I really could use Pat’s book so I can learn how to do machine applique the right way! Thanks for the giveaway!
—Vicki Sprain on March 24, 2015I have tried all three methods. I like machine applique the best. It allows for my lack of perfection. When I fuse something, it can’t be undone easily. I applique something on every quilt I piece, I like how it adds a creative touch. It is as if, it jumps out and says, "yeah, I am here on top of the quilt that looks like picture, but a picture isn’t all it is cracked up to be without me". Applique is the best, I love it!
—JaniceCarole Allen on March 24, 2015I have needle turn applique for years. I feel it is about time for me to learn new applique ways. I have worked up couple of your kits and enjoyed the way you work through the pattern. Therefore I feel you would be a great one to learn machine applique from.
—Loretta on March 24, 2015Are machine and fusible applique different? I must really need this book!!! ; ) I use fusible, then machine stitch.
—Peggy W. on March 24, 2015I just inherited fabric and books from my cousin. She was wonderful with appliqué . I would like to learn to do this as a memorial to her. I have been quilting awhile, but would love to learn appliqué .
—Patsy on March 24, 2015Have not done much applique, and it would be great to learn from an expert like Pat. Thank you for this chance to have that opportunity.
—amy f on March 24, 2015I have tried all 3 types of applique, but like doing the fusible machine applique the best. I sometimes have problems turning corners and would appreciate some help with this. Thanks for the chance to win
—Maureen Haynes on March 24, 2015I’ve tried all three. I prefer fusible and machine over hand appliqué.
—Patricia Bourque on March 24, 2015I have tried all three, but I am not very good at any of them! I love the look, just can’t seem to get it right!
—Regina Furman on March 24, 2015I have tried all the three but I am not really experienced. Need to do more! It so much fun.
—Agnes Palko on March 24, 2015i have tried all three but I do need to practice more, a lot more. My last fusible attempt was putting numbers on a quilted bag and when I handed it to the person who wanted the bag, the numbers had started to come off. I found one of those pocket sewing kits and started to hand sew a blanket stitch around the numbers but ran out of the color I was using so at lunch time I went to the nearest store to find some thread to finish sewing the numbers on before we left work. Glad I was not busy with work that day. She loved that I made the special effort for her bag. With this example, I do need help Pat’s help. The other items are the icing on the cake. Also can’t wait for the sew along!
—Evelyn Wonner on March 24, 2015My applique experience is very limited. However, I have done raw edge applique and fusible applique (without the cut-out centers Pat demonstrates) and applique that is fully backed and then turned inside-out (like a circle). The first two types were stitched by machine. The turned circle was hand appliqued. I love using the fusible material. It makes life so much simpler.
—Kathleen Dalecio on March 24, 2015By the way, Pat’s book, Teach Me to Appliqué, looks like great book!
I have to be honest, I have never appliqued ,but am so anxious to learn. I have already ordered book from Pat. I am going to be her virgin student , teach me all you can. Would love to win what a great way to begin!
—Pat Grahl on March 24, 2015I’ve tried all three, I use all of them in different applications. Yay! New book for my wish list. Thanks Pat
—Toni Anne Potter on March 24, 2015I have tried all three. I learned from Pat and still use her method. This book is a treasure that can be referenced over and over. Love it!
—Barbie Smith on March 24, 2015I have done hand and machine applique. One of my first sewing lessons from my Mother was hand applique. That may sound like an odd choice, but I used to sit and watch her do hand applique and was so intrigued by it that I had to learn. I was only in early grade school, but she patiently worked with me and taught me how to master it. She is now long gone, and I do little hand applique due to arthritis, but every so often I do a small piece and feel close to her again!
—Carol on March 24, 2015I haven’t tried any applique techniques but with information contained in book, seems like this would be a good time to learn. Would be delighted to win and start on new sewing projects that I have made copies of hoping to start on.
—Joyce C. on March 24, 2015About 25 years ago I tried hand applique for the first time… ugh! What a mess! Many years later, I received already cut pieces for a flower quilt from my grandmother…so, once again I tried hand applique…. much more patience now…I only have a few more squares to compete before I can assemble the top. Its going to be lovely!
—Kathi Ernst on March 24, 2015I have done a few projects with fusible and my machine. Pretty, but just doesn’t seem to be as enjoyable and relaxing as hand applique.
I’ve tried all three forms of applique and fusible is the only way for me. No needle-turning in my future … never again!
Can’t wait to see Pat’s book. I’ve never liked the bulk of fusible but haven’t quite gotten the trim away the middle part right yet.
—Peggy on March 24, 2015I have done fusible and hand applique. Would love to get some pointers on how to get better at it. (Hint, hint. :))
—Susan Haenicke on March 24, 2015I’ve tried fusible and machine with interfacing so the edges are turned under. I would like to know more about how to use fusible and do a nice edge stitch.
—Anne on March 24, 2015I done fusible and machine applique- would love to get my hands on this book for some more cute projects!
—Sarah J. on March 24, 2015I’ve tried machine applique, and just doesn’t turn out right, so went to hand applique and loved it! I was taught by a lady who does hand applique similar to Pat Sloan’s way…I’ve also tried needle turn and it’s ok, but Pat Sloan’s way seems to turn out a lot nicer to me… I would love to win her book or any of the beautiful prizes…they all look so wonderful!
—Jeanette Spellmeyer on March 24, 2015Haven’t tried applique yet but have this book on order already through a friends store.
—Michaelle Leigh on March 24, 2015I’ve done all three but the fusible has probably turned out best.
—Mary Holshouser on March 24, 2015When I try to hand-stitch my stitches are never even and I go off on tangents and the stitches are in a row. I can machine-stitch and they are probably my next best option. Again, I’m not a straight stitcher.
Guess I’m stitch-challenged.
thanks for the chance to win a wonderful prize.
I have honestly not tried applique before. I really want to learn, as there are some very beautiful projects out there that I want to be able to make. Thank you for sharing.
—Jessica P. on March 24, 2015I have tried all three of the applique techniques and enjoy the versatility of options depending on the project I’m working on. My first encounter with "fusible" applique was 20 years ago. Long story short–I used the no sew fusible without realizing it and struggled with needles gumming up while trying to do the blanket stitch on the appliques. Needless to say, it was a long time before I attempted sewable fusible again! I did receive many compliments on my project, though. It’s always great to learn new twists/techniques and brush up on methods.
—J-L on March 24, 2015I have done machine applique before, but it is not my favorite quilting technique.
—Bridget on March 24, 2015I have been exclusively hand appliquéing, needle turn. I realize that I need to start fusing in order to make all the patterns I want to make in my lifetime!
—Gale S. on March 24, 2015I’ve dabbled in fusible applique, taking a class on it at an MQX several years ago. But when I got home, all of my learnings from class flew out the window and I’ve been too intimidated to try it since. I’m definitely buying Pat’s book so I can try again. I’m excited that it’s written in a "teach me" type of format – that’s exactly what I need!
—Nicole Cunningham on March 24, 2015I have only just recently learned needle turn and freezer paper appliqué. It was fun. But I would like to learn other techniques.
—Quiltnut on March 24, 2015I have been doing crafting, sewing, knitting, crocheting, needlepoint, embroidery since I was about 10 years old. I have tried just about everything once! Whenever I applique, my preferred method is fusible and machine zig-zag. I am still learning!
—Lynn Hogarth on March 24, 2015I would love to win this prize. I have done hand appliqueing!
—Laura on March 24, 2015Thanks!
I have done raw edge appliqué and fusible. I have also done appliqué in the hoop on my embroidery machine and I love my Havel snips for trimming.
—betty drake on March 24, 2015I have tried all of them.
—Anita on March 24, 2015I’ve done freezer paper, fusible, and raw edge applique. I really like the freezer paper method and am now working on getting my machine stitches to look pretty.
—Janet Autrey on March 24, 2015I like fusible for speed and Pat’s technique looks like fun. Will try soon. I also have done needle turn.
—Happy Johns on March 24, 2015I have done so little with applique, basically because I am not sure of myself and the technique. It would be wonderful to have a book by Pat Sloan so that I can learn all there is to applique. Hope to get this chance!!
—Darlene Osborn on March 24, 2015Darlene Osborn
I use all three and it all depends on what I’m working on at the time. Please consider me for the giveaway. Thank you!
—Peggy on March 24, 2015I have tried all three with slight success, any hints from Pats book would be welcome.
—Pam Treiber on March 24, 2015I love applique and used all of the techniques. My favorite is needleturn. Thank you
—cynthia lanahan on March 24, 2015Needle turn , fusible , machine
—Maryanne Wilson on March 24, 2015I prefer to do needle turn, love the finish product!
I have done hand applique along with the fusible. I haven’t tried machine applique but I am sure going to try on my next project. The fusible was a little stiff even with the light fusible. I like how Pat explains her fusible applique. I guess I am a little old school with my hand applique but I am open according to the project.
—Rebecca McCain on March 24, 2015I have done hand and machine sewn with fusible web. I would love to try a different technique. Good luck everyone!
—Tricia on March 24, 2015I have not tried applique.
—Quilting Tangent on March 24, 2015I have done some hand applique but I wasn’t real pleased with my results. Your book could certainly teach me a lot.
—Cheryl B on March 24, 2015Never did applique.
—J. Reeves on March 24, 2015Haven’t done any, but applique is on my to do list.
—J. Reed on March 24, 2015I love to do needle turn applique, but not too happy with machine applique. So I will have to get a copy of your book and try out your technique. Just LOVE Pat Sloan.
—Kim McPeake on March 24, 2015I have used all three methods, and love using Aurifil threads in piecing and applique.
—coralie wallace on March 24, 2015Love learning new things!
—Brenda A on March 24, 2015I have sewn for more than 40 years and have tried all 3 types of applique, but have never been really happy with the results. I love the look I see others get with applique and would like to learn to be more competent.
—Judith Clauss on March 24, 2015I’ve done all three methods including reverse applique. I have to say, my least favorite is machine applique. But then again, machine quilting is my least favorite as well. Hand techniques are more relaxing to me.
—Denise Laverriere on March 24, 2015i never sewed more than putting a button on until I retirees 3 years ago! I now have completed 7 quilts and looking forward to learning appliqué as well as more challenging blocks!
—Joyce Ridilla on March 24, 2015Hand and machine. My interest is piqued in regard to trying fusible applique, which might end up being pretty fun.
—R Jones on March 24, 2015I’ve only hand appliquéd but would love to try different techniques.
—Beverly Reid on March 24, 2015I have tried all 3 methods, but am not much of a hand-stitcher. I enjoy sitting in front of my sewing machine much more. Generally I do machine applique because I don’t like the stiffness of the fusible. I recently discovered MIstyfuse which does make it softer, but I find it very challenging to work with. I would love to try out this technique. Thank you for sponsoring the giveaway. 🙂
—paula dalby on March 24, 2015I have limited experience trying all three methods–none of the very successfully.
—Dolores Paynter on March 24, 2015I have not done appliqué but you’re making me want to try!
—Rebecca on March 24, 2015I’ve tried all three, but feel confident of none. It’s like a crapshoot every time–hoping this helps!!!
—Patricia Jackson on March 24, 2015Love Martingales
—Cheryl on March 24, 2015I’ve done all three types of applique. My old hands are not so crazy about hand applique anymore…so I got a machine that does a nice job of machine applique, as well as nice finishing for fused applique. Where there is a will…….
—Ann McCay on March 24, 2015I have only done hand applique. I enjoy this way because it goes where I go, work on alittle bit when time permits.
—Evelyn Van Caeseele on March 24, 2015I have done some hand applique with mixed results, but have not tried machine applique as I have been using an older Bernina that doesn’t have an appropriate stitch. I just bought a new machine, so I’m excited to try machine applique.
—Diana Steverson on March 24, 2015I have done both hand and machine but found the one I did by hand to be my favorite. I stitched multi layers of velvets as flowers and then cut away different layers of the velvet to provide the different colors of the flower petals. This was slow going so as not to cut the wrong layer but well worth the effort!
—Lorinda on March 24, 2015I have tried all three types of applique and love the hand applique better than machine stitching.
—Marlene on March 24, 2015I am looking forward to learning the techniques in this book as although my intentions are good, my applique always turns out a terrible mess.
—Bertha Greenstein on March 24, 2015Well, I can’t do any hand work due to carpal tunnel. I have done applique on my machine, but it was not pretty! The first early on in my quilting travels: a really cute rocking horse to match the rocking horse fabric I was using. However I wasn’t happy with it, so the quilt had 2 rocking horses and 2 hearts – much easier, but I was still not happy with it!
—Kathy in IN on March 24, 2015The second I used fusible applique – waaayyy too stiff!
I’ve done 2 or 3 small stockings with raw edge applique that came out not-too-bad.
I have done a little with machine embroidery – does that count as ‘cheating’?
But really, I would love to learn an easy, fool-proof way to do it with my machine so I’m not embarrassed to show someone else!! Now, your book would give a great start!! Thanks!
I have done hand applique and enjoy it when I have the desire to sit and make a project that won’t get tons of use, I’ve done machine, and like it very much, and the fusible – also wool appliques. I love it all and think it all has it’s place and use. I am loving all I see in Pat’s new book!!
—Linda P on March 24, 2015I have not done any hand applique in at least 20 years. I do the fusible machine stitched designs. Thanks for the opportunity to win.
—Janie O on March 24, 2015I’ve never tried applique. It scares me too much. Maybe this book will help me overcome!!
—Karen Libby on March 24, 2015Tried all 3. Our Guild has 2 wonderful applique experts and they are running our Block of the Month. They did a Mystery Garden BOM and many of the blocks were appliques, using various techniques. I am also learning from one of the Guild members Hawaiian quilting which is hand appliqu. Thanks to them I feel more confident doing applique.
—Lily Kamikhara on March 24, 2015I have tried all three methods of applique and while I love the look of hand applique I don’t love the time involved. I have done some machine applique but not used the donut technique. I’d like to try that as I think it might improve my results. Thanks for the generous give away.
—Ellie on March 24, 2015ive tried all three, mainly used the fusible kind on baby quilts.
—Lisa Lee on March 24, 2015I have done a lot of applique,and my favorite, is raw edge, with hand or machine stitching .

—Gena Watters on March 24, 2015would like to learn more:):)
—Melissa Pelley on March 24, 2015Love them all:)
—Melissa Pelley on March 24, 2015I’ve always done hand applique and love the look. But, I keep saying I want to do machine applique because I could finish a project more quickly.
—Joan Horton on March 24, 2015I have never tried applique, but I plan to gather my courage and give it a try!
—Lynne on March 24, 2015I have not been very successful at applique

—Sue on March 24, 2015I have tried some machine and fussible appliqué, but I would definitely like to learn more in the future.
—Mária Kočanová on March 24, 2015So far I’ve tried hand and fusible techniques but plan to try machine soon and I recently got a sewing machine up to the task. I prefer handstitching most handicrafts but sometimes a machine is a must so it makes sense to me to add it to my arsenal. :o)
—Cheryl Rich on March 24, 2015I have tried both hand and machine applique but wasn’t happy with my results. I guess I need your help!
—Joan H. on March 24, 2015I do machine applique. I use the sewable fusible web and then I machine applique around it. Thanks for a chance to win a giveaway.
—Sharon B on March 24, 2015All 3 – hand, machine, fusible. It depends on the project which method I decide on. I’ve recently discovered Aurifil Invisafil thread and it is the absolute best for hand applique.
—Laquita on March 24, 2015ive tried all 3 and not sure if reverse appliqué counts as a different one. Your book males me antsy to try a new project!
—Margie Tucker on March 24, 2015I love both hand and machine applique. I got to a point where I wanted to take my pieced quilts to another level. Now I can’t hardly do anything without some type applique on it!
—Kathy Mallory on March 24, 2015I have done some machine applique but have not done much hand applique but I do like the look of it.
—Terri U on March 24, 2015I’ve done all three types and like fusible the best – I love Pat Sloan’s patterns!

—carolyn montgomery on March 24, 2015love all you things, makes me want to try new projects
julie
—julie silke on March 24, 2015I love hand applique, needle turn style. I’m going to try soft fusible on my next quilt, using the technique where you stitch the fabric to the fusible and turn it inside out. I think I will prefer that to the blanket stitch. thanks for all you show us! Quilting is a blast.
—Quilting Jeannie on March 24, 2015I have tried all three types and each has its benefits.
—Ann Perry on March 24, 2015I have done all three. I do fusible machine most.

—Barbara Kessler on March 24, 2015I have done machine and fusible and would
love a copy of Pat’s book
I have made quilts using all three methods. Because I love applique quilts and want to make so many of them I think machine or fusible are the best way for me to complete quilts.
—Connie on March 24, 2015I have used a machine and hand methods of applique.I find hand applique very relaxing and so portable. Machine applique is strong and great on items that will get a lot of wear and tear.
—Helen Dodd on March 24, 2015I have tried hand, machine and fusible applique. My favorite method is to machine stitch prepared turned edge applique pieces. Thanks for sharing.
—Elizabeth on March 24, 2015I tried machine stitched fusible. I’ve been looking for a project to have another try at it.

—Rita Goff on March 24, 2015I have done a couple of blocks from a BOM with hand applique.

—LaVerne Misselhorn on March 24, 2015I have tried the fusible once, but am interested in trying the other methods as well.
—Sandy K on March 24, 2015I haven’t tried any applique yet. I think I should try each method to see what I prefer on practice blocks.
—Dot H on March 24, 2015I have done hand turn and fusible applique’ on the machine. I enjoy both and think that depending upon the project and its intended use, there is a place for both. My favorite look is applique’ on top of a pieced background or a pieced quilt with an applique’ border.
—Tricia Pugh on March 24, 2015I think I tried hand applique many moons ago, but would love to really learn how to do all three types. This book looks like a great learning tool and I would really love a copy!! I started quilting about 12 years ago and stopped because of financial limitations. I am picking it up again and am so excited to get sewing!!!
—Janetta Dobler on March 24, 2015I’ve not really done much applique. I really need to learn the techniques! I’d love to win your prizes!
—Rose Herrington on March 24, 2015I’ve tried both – with limited success! Hand stitching takes so long and I’m always short of time, so machine tends to be favourite most of the time. This is a fabulous giveaway and I’m sure Pat’s book would help improve my applique technique massively!
—Suzanne on March 24, 2015I have done fusible. Have not try the other two yet.
—Connie R. on March 24, 2015I haven’t tried applique yet but it is on the list because I have a project coming up that I will be doing for my 30th class reunion & I will be using applique! I’m excited about learning/doing it!

—Linda Haynes on March 24, 2015Have only tried hand applique and would love to learn more!!
—Pamela Dorman on March 24, 2015I have tried all three methods and still can’t get it looking good. Although I find the fusible process the easiest, I still can’t get the stitching right. More practice, I guess, and I am sure your book would help me.
—Kay on March 24, 2015Pat Sloan sounds like someone I’d like to know! I don’t do anything by hand, so have tried fused & machine applique with little success. I do love Aurifil thread 50 weight for free motion quilting. Applique is still a dream away.
—Jean Hehl on March 24, 2015I’m a beginner sewist/quilter and haven’t tried this technique yet! I hope to take a class at my local quilt shop this spring!
—amy on March 24, 2015I have tried all three with small projects and would not go public with them that’s for sure. I enjoyed trying but have so much to learn so this would be a wonderful giveaway to win. Thnank you for the chance.
—Lu on March 24, 2015I’ve tried them all….and needle turn was a huge disaster! Machine applique is okay, but I seem to have the best luck with fusible. I’d love to try Pat’s tried and true method. Thanks to you and Pat for offering this great give away!
—Judy Sigsworth on March 24, 2015I have done needle turn, back stitch, fuse by hand, fuse by machine. I love the look of applique. One of my first experience was with Pat at a workshop at Myrtle Beach, S. C. when she first started teaching. It was a fun class and I learned a lot including how to dye fabric in small amounts with rite dye.
—Linda Lawson on March 24, 2015I have done all three, but am just learning needle turn.
—Holly Wotton on March 24, 2015I’ve tried all three methods. I enjoy the control I have with hand applique, however, machine is faster but frustrating when I don’t stop at the corners properly. Thank you for letting us know about this new book of Pat’s and for this opportunity of a winning.
—Janey on March 24, 2015Machine and hand
—Becky Whitehead on March 24, 2015I have worked with all three. At the moment my "go to" is machine applique with Aurifil thread. Thanks for the chance. Have a good day.

—Karen Fink on March 24, 2015Did an appliqué Halloween wall hanging and enjoyed the process. Looking forward to new tecniques in Pat’s new book.
—Audrey on March 24, 2015I am new to quilting, and recently quilted a sewing machine cover………..I made it to look like a little camper…….I appliqued a door, a window, a wheel etc……it turned out really cute……….I would love to learn some real appliqué’ technique’s……I sort of just winged it on that little project…….good luck everyone, sounds like some great gifts..
—Karen Fink on March 24, 2015i have done fusible appliqué. Would like to learn more
—Monica Sherman on March 24, 2015I have done hand, fusible & machine applique. I love the look of applique quilts, but shy away from them. When I do make one, I am always surprised that they weren’t as hard to make as they look.
—Kay McCaffery on March 24, 2015give me a needle and some pieces of cotton and you make me happy.
—anne de buck on March 24, 2015machines have the opposite effect, they are like a kind of threat to me…
so I did not yet try applique by machine did not find the nerve to start!(yet)
by hand I did needleturn, mola, hawaian, baltimore… I find it so soothing to sew bit by bit , to see how all those little pieces come together and become heirlooms to treasure for the next generations to come.
Just a very small amount of fusible applique. Will try more in the future.
—Janet G. on March 24, 2015I’ve done all three. Thanks for the great giveaway!
—Sallie on March 24, 2015I have tried all three. I don’t think my hand applique looks good enough. I enjoy fusible applique the most

—Sharon Bourque on March 24, 2015I have done hand applique and have had pieces of what was folded under come out. I have done some machine applique as practice pieces in a class. I don’t remember if the items were pinned or fused (or both). Mostly, I have done hand applique with wool fabrics, which don’t need to be folded under along the edge.
—Sharon Howell on March 24, 2015I’ve tried all three methods, but most recently I’ve tried machine appliqué and I’m a little bit hooked. I’d love to be able to learn more about doing appliqué properly however so this would be the perfect giveaway to win – who better to learn from then the wonderful Pat Sloan! Thanks for the giveaway!
—Angie @ GnomeAngel.com on March 24, 2015I hand appliqued an Easter sweatshirt for my sister-in-law. It was a bunny in a basket. All the eggs in and around the basket were from special fabrics: a blue flowered one that my Mom used to make a dress for my sister when she was little; a yellow gingham one I used to make a baby sampler for my cousin; a pink one from fabric I had used to make a padded picture frame for a unicorn I cross stitched for a co-worker’s daughter, etc.
—Carol on March 24, 2015I have tried many forms of applique.
—Bridget Fletcher on March 24, 2015Blanket stitch by hand and machine, reverse applique and Needleturn applique.
My first love is Needleturn closely followed by machine blanket stitch .
I have used all three, but prefer not to appliqué by hand.
—Jeanne Drews on March 24, 2015I have done needle-turn, freezer-paper, machine and fusible. Always ready to try something else.
—Elizabeth Monahan on March 24, 2015I’ve tried all three. Thanks for the chance to win! Looks like a great book!

—Debra on March 24, 2015love the creativity of appliqué, I usually do sarin stitch around fusible designs. Love reading you stuff,
—Anne O'Connor on March 24, 2015i have done a bit of applique…. made door pictures for children & a memory wall hanging for my parents golden wedding anniversary which is in 2 days (27.3.15) i have used fusible & raw edge machine methods. i would love to learn more & try out some other stitch methods
—Suzanne Keal on March 24, 2015Love to do by hand, and I’ve used the fusible ala Eleanor burns to make nice neat appliques, but I still do it the old fashioned way: needle turn and embroidery blanket stitch. Seems to add that last personal touch, I put a little applique on all my baby quilts, Overall Sam, Sunbonnet Sue, hexagon lamb, last was a huge frog, and I have a bird for my next. Love your ideas! thanks for the giveaway

—Sharon Schipper on March 24, 2015I work mainly with fusible applique, sometimes I skip the fusible and just sew away – would love to win this – Pat Sloan is AMAZING
—Margie on March 24, 2015I have only done a little fusible, but I have been collecting fabrics for a 62″x65″ wall hanging/quilt that is all appliqued. The pattern calls for fusible. I liked using the fusible on my small project with a clear poly thread, then quilted around the applique.
—Winks on March 24, 2015I love doing needleturn applique. It makes me feel so creative.
—Ruth F. Gollnick on March 24, 2015I have done hand & machine applique and would like to learn to do it all better!
—Yolanda on March 24, 2015I have done a few methods for applique. I won’t say I have perfected any of them. I’m done needle turn applique once on a quilt for my son. Recently I have used fusible web to iron on and then machine blanket stitch around which can be challenging. I would love to WIN a prize!!! THanks I would also like to do the sew-a-long!
—Donna H. on March 24, 2015I have just finished a needle turn applique design on a quilt for our eldest granddaughter. Even though I do handwork, this took me years to complete. I have also done fusible applique on table runners and then machine quilted the shapes using a 30-wt. variegated thread — that is most enjoyable. I’d love to win a copy of Pat’s new book!
—Katherine K Morvay on March 24, 2015I’ve mostly worked with fusible appliqueing. I worked with a lady who did applique on wool coats/jackets and she taught me to do a real fine/close satin stitch around the applique and I haven’t strayed away from it. I’ve done it with cottons, wools, and even wool felt. To me it gives a cleaner look. I’m not much for hand stitching, it takes to much time!
—Diane Baldwin on March 24, 2015I have tried all 3 ways but my fav is with fuseable threand a very soft hand when finished.
—Charlotte Ceeko on March 24, 2015all 3 ways but my fav is fuseable thread has nice soft hand when finished.
—Charlotte Ceeko on March 24, 2015I have done all three. I have not found just one technique does it all. It depends on the finished look and how small some of the pieces are that will be appliquéd.
—Carla on March 24, 2015I have learned to applique by machine and hand and fusible. I really enjoy piecing more, but I have done the best with fusible applique, with or without blanket stitch. I took Pat’s class a couple of years ago and loved her method and now use it. She is a great teacher!
—Andrea on March 24, 2015I have never appliquéd before but really want to learn how. I do so many projects that appliquéing would be a great addition too. This giveaway would be a great way for me to learn how to appliqué correctly….
Sandra Provost on March 24, 2015

—Linda Van Der Werf on March 24, 2015I have only done hand applique..& only 2 projects. lol Yes….am slooow…but did like doing it. Would love to win a book to help me learn other ways & faster! lol Thanks for the chance to win too! 🙂

—Terry on March 24, 2015I haven’t worked on appliqué just yet since I’m a beginner but looking forward to it.
—Van Tran on March 24, 2015I have tried all three methods-still have 4 blocks of needle turn waiting for me to decide what to do with them! I like the fusible with machine stitching around it to secure it-either a decorative stitch or a straight stitch works for me now. I started with the satin stitch (by machine) many years ago but find it too "shows too much" and prefer the other two machine methods.
—Bev Gunn on March 24, 2015I love applique, I am doing a fusible by big fork cotton company "Trophy"! I recently tried needle turn, need a bit more practice with that! I would love to win, so I could get better pointers!
—Rhonda Dunn on March 24, 2015I have attempted fusible appliqueing. I was not very successful; yet, I learned what not to do. To me that is progress. 🙂
—Carole Taylor on March 24, 2015I have tried all 3 methods and I have probably done the fusible the most, but not that much. I like the possibilities and variety that applique can add to quilts and other projects. Thank you for the chance to win your book. Any new tips are always welcome.
—Pam P on March 24, 2015I have taken a class on fuseable and I have machine some projects, just beginner ones. I am wanting to try some more projects as I know practice makes you better. Love following you and look forward to your email. I have not yet tried Aurifil thread.
—Sue parks on March 24, 2015I’ve tried all three types of applique. I am fond of needle turn applique and have used it for many of Pat’s patterns. I would love to win this giveaway. Hugs

—Gale on March 24, 2015I’ve tried all three techniques in the past … Although I enjoy it, I’m too slow at hand applique, so IMO machine applique is the way to go! Love your creativity, Pat … thanks for the chance to win such a great giveaway!!
—KrisTX on March 24, 2015I love to do fusible applique and have many projects in the works. I have tried the needle-turn method in the past but am too impatient to get a project done to do much of it. I used to satin stitch appliques but I like the machine buttonhole stitch much better now. I don’t like seeing stringy threads from the edges of appliques when not using fusible web so I always use it.
—Gail D. on March 24, 2015I’ve done all three, but have more experience with needle turn.
—Sue Miller on March 24, 2015I have done a couple machine applique projects and a fusible but really need to work on turning corners. I keep looking at hand applique and saying someday….
—DebMac on March 24, 2015I like to try all things; but prefer the easiest for me.
—Shirley on March 24, 2015I tried fusible applique once. Since I did not know the edges had to be stitched, the applique peeled at the edges. This book could teach me how to do it right. And the gift pack is pretty enough that I might even try it again.
—Lynne on March 24, 2015I have done all three types of applique and they each have their own application.
—Nancy on March 24, 2015thanks for the great giveaway!

—Sara Gomez on March 24, 2015Hi,
I usually do hand appliqué because it is portable and easy to do whilst travelling, club meetings or anywhere.
Have tried needle turn but can not master.
If in a hurry or am able I use machine appliqué usually a small stitch.
Thank you,

I do love applique. The last ones I’ve worked on were wool appliqued onto cotton by LIsa Bongean. Love Pat Sloan’s things, too!
—Alicia key on March 24, 2015I do mostly machine applique. I tried Pats method some time ago on a large piece. It works.
—Caroline Rohrer on March 24, 2015I love machine applique; especially using fusible techniques. Hand and needle-turned are not ones I will ever do again. I have not tried your method yet. So may ways to applique, certainly there must be one for everyone to love.Your book looks very inspiring!
—Darlee on March 24, 2015Hi, Pat: I have done all types of appliqué, needle turn and machine with freezer paper and fusible with a blanket stitch edge. All are great and I am always looking for tips to make things better.
—Christine on March 24, 2015Christine from Ontario
Looks wonderful! Love small colourful projects. Have only done fusible applique so far
—Janet Oakley on March 24, 2015I"m no expert, but I’ve tried all three. Love needle turn when I not in a hurry – fusible is always fun.
—Katie B on March 24, 2015I use all three techniques for applique and choose the method according to the project I am making. Fusible is great for a quick small project, while needle turn is great for more special projects and for curling up in my recliner or taking along on-the-go somewhere. Satin stitch or blanket stitching is also fun and creates a special effect.
—Nyla Christensen on March 24, 2015I have tried all 3 b. Would like to try Pat’s method. Thanks for a chance to win.
—Jane Ludwig on March 24, 2015I’ve tried hand appliqué and a little machine appliqué – but I could definitely use some pointers!

—Jane on March 24, 2015As for applique, yes I too have done all three. I feel that all of them have their place in the choir so to speak where each are needed where they can shine their best depending on the project and intent. Thanks for the chance.
I’ve tried all three methods and want to spend more time practicing the techniques. Love the projects I’ve seen in this book.
—Jean HS on March 24, 2015Forgot to mention, Lucky me since I will be taking a class with Pat Sloan this April. SQUEE!!!!!
—Jane on March 24, 2015I am new to appliqué and have only tried hand using an adhesive to attach to the fabric then hand stitching using blanket stitch , but I love it!
—Heather J Seamons on March 24, 2015I have only done one project and it was fusible. I would like to improve my skill level as I love the applique look.
—Barbara D on March 24, 2015Never tried machine applique but I have hand-sewn many appliques and tried different types of iron-on fusibles over the years.
—Marty on March 24, 2015I have done all three. Because of arthritis, I no longer do hand quilting. I enjoy using my accuquilt.
—Anne Moore on March 24, 2015I have a friend who wants to learn how to appliqué – if I am fortunate enough to win this package I will gift this book to her.

—lisa Clark on March 24, 2015I’ve done the machine satin stitch applique. I love the Farmer’s Market quilt, it looks like so much fun.

—Sparkle Todd on March 24, 2015I have done needle turn, freezer paper & raw edge appliqué.
—Joan Tubbs on March 24, 2015I would like to take a workshop on machine applique. I have completed one block using machine applique while making the "Underground Railroad" quilt. During my introduction course to quilting, we made one block "Honey Bee" where we learned how to hand applique. I now want to try applique using fusible paper and machine stitching. I plan to buy the book (if I don’t win one}.
—Marie on March 24, 2015I have only tried machine applique once and I don’t like the feel of most fusibles. Hand applique is the one in my comfort zone so far but would love to branch out a little! Great giveaway!
—audrey on March 24, 2015I have done hand applique but have some difficulty doing machine work. I prefer fusible to needle turn. I would like to,learn more about threads.

—Mary Cliff on March 24, 2015I LOVE applique, it’s my favorite part of quilting. I use Aurufil thread for everything, and enjoy all 3 kinds of applique, hand, machine and fusible. I just finished a cute firetruck applique quilt for my great-nephew. He fll in love with it! I machine appliqued it. I have a lot more applique projects lined up!
—Sandra Post on March 24, 2015I have tried all three methods and still do not like the way my machine applique looks so I end up doing it by hand. I seem to have trouble on points and v’s with my machine. Would love to learn your technique.
—Mary Wheelock on March 24, 2015I found the book at The Cherry Pitt in Servilville TN and have already started making projects!!! Having the Fabric and the thread would just complete the whole thing for me!!!! I’d love to win then I could share the book with a friend!!!

—Maureen. on March 24, 2015I have done all three types of applique. I hadn’t done it for many years and then starting seeing Pat’s nice clean looking patterns that are so attractive and appealing- yet do not appear real difficult so that even the novice applique artist can be successful. I am excited to see her applique book. Combining her great art with Moda fabrics and Aurifil threads….it just doesn’t get any better or more motivating!
—Karen Migliaccio on March 24, 2015I have tried all three, definitely need some tips. Anxious to make the daisy. If I can do them, I will try the farmers market. I have a niece who would love it. 🙂
—Thunder Kaplan on March 24, 2015Have tried all three methods. My favorite is fusible with either machine or hand blanket stitch.
—Susan Jestel on March 24, 2015I’ve done just about every type of applique. From fusible, to hand, to raw edge and love them all. Right now my two favorites is doing hand applique by the apliquick method when appliqueing cotton fabric and doing wool applique with fusible and hand stitching.
—John Scibran on March 24, 2015I have done all three. But hand work kind of scares me. I’ve done small pieces to see if I like it. I’m such a perfectionist, I worry my stitches aren’t good enough. But I love the ideas in the book. Everything I’ve learned by being part of the community has helped me grow as a quilter.
—Suzanne Wargo on March 24, 2015I would love to learn to applique and I think your book would be the perfect instructor.
—Nancy Hilderbrand on March 24, 2015I love applique, I would applique everything if I had the time

—Dianne Harris on March 24, 2015I’ve tried fusible. And i would love to win Pat’s book!
—Deb on March 24, 2015I have done some machine applique, but it was several years ago. I love hand applique, but I have not had the nerve to try it yet. This looks like a great book.
—Judy J on March 24, 2015I did an applique class many moons ago and, aside from some bits here and there, haven’t really done much since 🙁
—Kayt Deans on March 24, 2015It’s silly because I remember loving the different techniques and thinking, "I have to get into this!"
I look with envy at applique quilts and wish I could take the time to do them, but I’m not a very confident machine applique person. I love the idea of a book that takes you through step-by-step as though you were in a class!!! Way to go Pat Slone 😀
I have tried all three applique techniques and spent lots of time trying to improve on my machine applique. I used the blanket stitch on my Singer and Janome, but you know, I think I like the look of hand stitched appliques the best. They just take longer!! Thanks for the chance to win something sooooo special!
—kathy peters on March 24, 2015Was taught to appliqué by hand and was not a great fan!! Have tried machine and fusible, but don’t feel very skilled at either.
—Sue on March 24, 2015I’ve done all three but prefer Machine appliqué
—Wendy Myers on March 24, 2015My first applique was repairing Sun Bonnet Sue blocks made by my Great Grandmother. My sister had used them to make a bedspread when she was a preteen in the 1960’s. The backgrounds were feed sacks. As much as I hated to do it, I had to lift the Sues off the background and put them on a linen weave fabric. Most of the feed sacks succumbed to sun damage, but the color on the Sues remained bright. The pattern GG Fleming used was unusual – the Sues had two arms and two little boots peeking from beneath her skirt. The edges of the fabric were turned under and then hand button hole stitched.
—Ruth Sunday on March 24, 2015I do a lot of hand applique. Also do wool applique. Love to learn more about machine applique.
—Mary Clark on March 24, 2015I’ve done machine and fusible, and LOVE Pat’s patterns and fabrics!
—Lisa Marazzo on March 24, 2015hi! I have tried all 3 different ways to appliqué. I do however still struggle with it. I keep going back, but I always hesitate. I love everything about it…I just want to be comfortable with it. Help! I need your book! Thank you!
—Darlene Duchaine on March 24, 2015I’ve done fusible only, but I’m really looking forward to expanding to other kinds soon!
—Misty S. on March 24, 2015I’ve done all types of applique and enjoy them all. I do fusible most often due to time constraints but I love hand applique!!
—Jody on March 24, 2015I’ve quilted since the 80’s and have tried every kind of applique method known to man. In fact, I took a class when I first started sewing and the teacher looked at my work and said, "I don’t know what it is but it isn’t applique". That really set me back for a long time but years later, I found out that what I was doing was a method used in Colonial times… I wish I’d had this book then! Heck, I wish I had this book now! Great giveaway! Thanks for having it!
—Bev Bryan on March 24, 2015I’ve done all three with varying degrees of success. I can always use a little more practice!

iI haven’r learned how to appliqué yet. Would love to learn! Wantong to do a family crossword memory quilt!
—Maryse on March 24, 2015I have tried hand applique. I did not care much for that. I am currently working on a machine applique quilt. I was not sure where to place my needle to use a blanket stitch. As always, there is a lot of learning going on as I work on this one. I have enjoyed all the comments on Pat’s Facebook page. I would love to win her book, (the other stuff would be nice too, but nothing compared to her book!)so I can continue learning new skills. Pat’s BOM each month are always a bit of a challenge for a new quilter like me, but I am so happy when I look at my work and think, "I did that! Who knew I could do that!" Having Pat’s book would mean I could keep learning with her. It is like having her sit with me as I quilt. What a great contest!
—Sarah Turner on March 24, 2015i have tried all three, but machine appliqué is by far my favorite! Would love to win!
—Brenda seth on March 24, 2015I have done all three methods. I need to read your book to answer some of my questions. I sometimes applique the top but then latter have to go Bach and quilt it, when it is time to quilt. How do you handle this problem?
—Barbara on March 24, 2015I tried needle turn and my circles has some pointy parts. otherwise I have just done fusible. I did not have a lot of instruction previously have been kind of just reading and watching a few you tubes to try to help me. I need lots of help. What a wonderful opportunity to learn from one of the greats.
—Allison Etzler on March 24, 2015i am new to quilting in general and would live to learn from the best!
—Mary Ann White on March 24, 2015I have only done fusable applique but am so anxious to get you book and learn more!
—Nancy Greenhouse on March 24, 2015I have done all 3 forms and in fact have a still waiting to be finished hand appliqued quilt that I started when my daughter was 4 or 5 it still is not done even though her son is a teenager. In the meantime I have 4 projects in my stack of to finish that are fusible appliqued and will be done along with the finished stuff. Most of the fusible appliqued are finished by machine, oh heck lets be honest all of them are. Need to go back to the hand applique on so that it will finally finished and not another dratted darn UFO!
—Sandy H on March 24, 2015I’m just getting brave enough to try applique. I have only tried raw edge on the machine, but I have a ton of patterns I am going to try "someday"
—Cindy on March 24, 2015I normally hand applique, but would love to learn to applique with my machine. From what I’ve seen, Pat’s book looks like a fabulous place to start.
—Suzanne Knudsen on March 24, 2015Love the patterns in the book and would love a copy for our guild if that would be possible we love applique designs and these are perfect.
—Gloria Green on March 24, 2015regards Gloria Green
I have done very little with applique but want to get my hands on this title ASAP!!! It looks like this book would be just what I need to really get started and learn how to do things well. I love the look of appliqued quilts and table toppers, but have been putting off getting started since I didn’t know which title to buy. This introduction definitely has me sold!
—Kate on March 24, 2015i’ve done projects using all three!
—Delinda on March 24, 2015I have hand appliqued…many years ago. Machine appliqued not so long ago. Fusible applique most recently. Applique in any form are not my favorite……perhaps your book will help?
—Tina Ennis on March 24, 2015I have tried all 3 and enjoyed them. It depends on how much time and what I am doing as to which I use.
—Rose on March 24, 2015I love the look and feel of needle turn, but I’m not very good at it and it doesn’t suit the utilitarian quilts I usually make. Have also tried various forms of machine applique. Fusible is quick and easy for fun everyday quilts (and kids’ garments too). I’d love to try Pat’s method as I don’t like the stiffness of fusible…would love it to be softer.
—Dot on March 24, 2015I have tried machine appliqué and look forward to learning more 🙂
—Ann Liesman on March 24, 2015I did hand applique a long time ago but more recently have been experimenting with fusing pieces and using either a blanket stitch or a zig-zag. I can’t decide if I prefer using monofilament thread or cotton. Aurifil’s threads are so gorgeous that I’m trying to build up a collection of different colours. Any additions would be a most welcome addition!
—June Robertson on March 24, 2015How cool would it be to win a book by Pat Sloan!!!! I do plenty of embroidery on quilt blocks but I would love to do applique. Thank you for the opportunity to win.

—Sue Felton on March 24, 2015I have tried hand appliqué and machine appliqué, this book looks amazing!

—Diane Fern on March 24, 2015I love Pat’s applique techniques and always learn something new.
—Lois H on March 24, 2015I have done machine appliqué only a couple of times. I have never done traditional hand appliqué. However, I learned about Molas at one of the meetings I go to in my quilt guild and the person speaking about them taught us how to reverse appliqué by hand. Once I finished that small block, I applied it to four small blocks in a quilt. That’s the extent of it!
—Lydia W. on March 24, 2015I have done fusible and machine applique. Fun to do, but I need lots more practice. I would love your book.
—Sharon Kortgaard Tupa on March 24, 2015I have tried needle turn and machine applique but have been frustrated and not very successful so far. Love your tutorials and patterns so I’m sure I would learn much from your book. I would love to win!!

I have only tried machine applique. I am a new quilter. Would love to win this package.
—Pat Bishop on March 24, 2015I’ve only used paper back fusible applique. It was to fussy cut some blocks for a quilt I’m making. I hope to try more applique in the future. Fantastic give away. Thanks for the opportunity to win. Have a great day.
—Beth on March 24, 2015My first applique was needleturn by hand, and I still love that, but I also love Pat’s machine applique method. I’m so excited to get my hands on that new book!
—Cindy Dickinson on March 24, 2015I have done one block of needle turn hand applique and it was horrible. I took an eight hour class and my finished block was too terrible to keep. I was done with appliqué. A friend encouraged me to try machine applique. I use Wonder Under and mostly my blanket stick and I am hooked. Keep trying things until you find something you like.
—Sarah Jeanes on March 24, 2015I’ve only been quilting a short time, but would love to learn appliqué! I’m very intrigued that fusible doesn’t have to feel stiff and would like to try Pat’s method. Congrats on the new book; it looks beautiful! 🙂

I have done both machine with and without fusible. Some with buttonhole and some raw edge applique. I was not a fan of the stiffness resulting. So when I saw Pat Sloan had a book addressing this issue and we get a "donut"…I was all in. I am so excited about all the fabulous prizes and truly hope I win, as it seems Pat has so much to share with us!
—Kristy on March 24, 2015I am new to applique but, the hand sewn and fusible have worked for me.I really enjoy adding it to my quilts to give character and its a beautiful touch.I enjoy Pat .she is a wonderful inspiration.
—Sonja Kuvik Loyd on March 24, 2015I have tried all three methods. It usually depends on what type of applique works best for the project. But I could certainly use some tips to improve my applique skills. This book looks great!
—Dotti Mondoux on March 24, 2015I have tried all 3. My favorite look is needle turned, but it is so time consuming.

—Michele Timms on March 24, 2015I have done a lot of them! Hand: because I love to do penny rugs and woolen applique so I went right to hand applique with my quilts. I love to use the blanket stitch to get that ‘look’ on my shapes, especially baby quilts. I have used invisible threads and stitches but I think if I am going to do all that work, people should see it AND there are so many colors!
—jean crowe-balliro on March 24, 2015I love applique and have done mostly hand applique. I really prefer the look of machine applique, but have a lot of trouble with points. I have mastered circles! I’m still practicing and know your book will be a big help.
—gail smith on March 24, 2015I believe you really need to send me this book and applique goodies so I can start appliqueing. It looks like it is the ABC of applique. THanks.
—Diane I on March 24, 2015Diane
Yep, I have tried all three but lately have been doing a lot of fusible. For some projects, it’s just too quick and painless to pass up. Now to go back and read more about Pat Sloan’s techniques.
—Karen L. on March 24, 2015I use hand applique for wool (felt?), and fusible with machine over stitching. I do not think I am particularly good at any of these methods, maybe reading a bit more about it will improve my technique…
—Karen on March 24, 2015Hi, I have taken one applique class and I loved it! It was a fusible class.

—Robin McGuire on March 24, 2015Love applique especially machine; hand applique is slow and tedious. Really like the idea of donut fusible machine applique. I can see I need to do a little more research and study the different weights of threads and how they make the applique look. Thanks for sharing Pat’s new applique book(s), fabric, thread, and heat & bond.
—Janet on March 24, 2015I tried it a long time ago and did not like it. It was to stiff. Am wanting to try again

—Teresa S on March 24, 2015I am new to quilting. I just took my first quilting class and a couple of the blocks were learning how to applique. I must be honest, I did not enjoy the applique part. It could be because I am new to quilting but so far I’m not a fan.

Debi Haupt
—Debi Haupt on March 24, 2015I love to do machine applique and I have done fusible applique too. I haven’t been brave enough to try hand applique yet, but my new fascination is English paper piecing, so maybe I’ll try to hand applique some of the flowers I make.

—vscharp on March 24, 2015I first learned to do needle turn appliqué, which took me five years to complete the small wall hanging. Then someone showed me how to fuse, which is now my favorite. It’s quick, easy and you get fast results. I call it the draw, cut and iron system, I love it. Looking forward to seeing your book and learning your method. Thank you for this opportunity to win one of these great prizes listed.
—Shirley Martin on March 24, 2015I haven’t tried any applique yet. Its next on my list though. It just looks difficult.
—Andrea on March 24, 2015I’ve tried all three in one sampler quilt. I love the look of needle turn hand appliqué, but fusible and machine appliqué gets the job done so much quicker. Pat Sloan’s book would be so helpful because I was never taught how to applique’. I wanted to do it, so I jumped right in with the "trial and error" method. It would be so nice to learn from an expert.
—Linda Edwards on March 24, 2015I have done all three methods. Would love to win your new book. Thanks.

—terry on March 24, 2015I have tried all three and not had much luck with any of them! I have not taken a lesson one on any of the techniques,due to the cost. But I just love the look that is why I keep trying to get it right!! I love your work and items Pat. I just finished a quilt using your "One for Me, One For You" jelly roll and loved working with it!,
—Lori Chvojka on March 24, 2015I have done hand, machine, and fusible applique at various times. Hand applique was required in a class I took and I love the look, but felt it was too time consuming. I use fusible in my landscape quilts, but rarely with buttonhole. Usually I used free-motion to both hold the edges in place and provide shading in my images. Now that I am recently retired I no longer have to worry about time and I plan to do much more applique.
—Debo Brooks on March 24, 2015Love your books. They are a wonderful resource and this book looks especially like Spring. Love all the spring colors. Would love to win!!!

—Robin Cockrell on March 24, 2015I am new to all three forms of applique! I started needleturn applique with a quilt kit I received for Christmas a couple years ago.

—Susan K on March 24, 2015I tried hand applique once but I was a bad student and I’m pretty sure my attempt at needle turn applique is still in the room where I had an in-class meltdown and dashed it to the floor. Oh well! I would like to try it again, and this book sounds very promising.
—Julie G on March 24, 2015I usually do needle turn;am not too good at fusible…would Love to win! Thanks for this opportunity!

—Nancy Lanier on March 24, 2015I have tried all three types of applique and I am not very good at any of the. I just need to practice more.
—Jerry Beavers on March 24, 2015I have done the fusible applique for my kids’ sports teams. They have been used over and over again and been to many tournaments. I would like to try machine applique since I think it would be easier and quicker. My machine has multiple stitches so I hope to learn how to use these to make my gifts look more personalized. Thank you for the inspiration.
—Diana on March 24, 2015I have not tried the hand applique yet. I have done the other two but need to get better at both. I would love to win your giveaway to get better at my attempts and learn more about your techniques.
—Donna McGraw on March 24, 2015I’ve done all three methods over the years. I recently realized that my first appliqué was a high school art project – over 45 years ago! Who could guess that appliqué would end up being a favorite pastime in my ‘old age’. Love the look of appliqué on patchwork.
—Marilyn Goehl on March 24, 2015I have tried needle turn, a running stitch along the seam then turn under,glue stick,fusible methods and Spray starch with a tiny iron. Also to make circles using a piece of aluminum foil and a circle template, spray starch on fabric pull up foil and s fabric until circle is nice and flat then iron to dry. Cool remove foil and template to perfect flat circles. Store in a ziplock bag to keep the humidity out. I like both hand and machine applique.

—helen walton on March 24, 2015I do fusible and machine stitch …thank you…marta
—marta on March 24, 2015While I have done hand applique in the past I am now only able to do machine applique because I can no longer hold a needle for more than a few minutes. I like fusible applique for the fun projects but am more inclined to do "needleturn" for more intricate and detailed work.
—Shan on March 24, 2015I have been a quilter for many years, but have only made one wall hanging in a class where every part was done by hand, start to finish but that was years ago. I would love to try it at home as it is one more part of quilting that would be a challenge.

—Sue Kurz on March 24, 2015I really enjoy hand stitching and I am in the process of completing a king size quilt for my daughter’s 40th birthday. I have needle turned flowers in each block, have hand pieced the blocks and am now hand quilting it. I made an alphabet quilt for my granddaughter, using hand sewn blanket stitch for the applique. Thanks for the information you provide each week.
I have tried all 3 methods of applique but claim to be the master of none. I would love to have the opportunity to do more!
—Lavonna ZWB on March 24, 2015I have tried all three, but I haven’t perfected them. I think each has its place and can really make a project great. I’d LOVE a giveaway bundle!
—Candace Robinson on March 24, 2015I have tried fusible with a machine blanket stitch round the edges of my sons dinosaurs.

—Amy Elliott on March 24, 2015I haven’t done much hand appliqué but I enjoyed using machine appliqué when I made a Christmas wreath from a Dresden Plate pattern and also several years ago I had great fun making a zoo animal quilt using a method similar to Pam’s fusible method.
—Linda Fleming on March 24, 2015I am just beginning to quilt so I would love to learn how to applique using the fabric from your line, the beautiful colors of thread, and the wonderful Thermoweb products!

—Carey Nusbaum on March 24, 2015Took me 30 years to finally conquer hand applique, but won eleven awards! Bought several patterns for fusible but hesitate to tackle despite trying it years ago, and machine I am truly not good at and need a book like this to figure out what I’m doing wrong (smile). Thanks for offering these prizes.
—Lavinia Milligan Sala on March 25, 2015i have done hand and machine applique. I would live to have Pat’s new book and to learn new techniques
—Dianne Colecchi on March 25, 2015I think I have tried them all but it seams like my best work is with fusible and machine applique. I want to try the fusible thread. I hear that is suppose to be great. I need to read your book for more ideas. My applique is only so so.
—Chris on March 25, 2015i have tried them all, long time ago. Nowadays i mostly do it by fusible web on machine
—Sølvi alfnes on March 25, 2015Sølvi, norway
I’ve done hand applique; on quilts, towels, and clothing. I’ve tried a bit of machine applique, but had poor results. Have also tried fusible, but my results were terrible, and I didn’t like the resulting feeling. Someday will try again, but too busy at the moment. Thanks for asking!
—Mary Blackburn on March 25, 2015I do primarily Hawaiian needle turned and back-basted needle turned applique. The few times I have tried fused/ machined applique the outcome was way too stiff – not cozy like a quilt should be.
—Linda R Emery on March 25, 2015I have tried hand applique but it was soooo time consuming and I like to see things done. Have always wondered about fuisable but thought it would have no movement and have been too scared to try machine applique. This fantastic book looks like being the answer to a prayer. Would love to win it and let the applique queen inside me free!
Thanks for the opportunity.
—Karen on March 25, 2015Like most quilters I have tried all three methods…but I don’t applique a lot…mostly just on things for kids and then I use the fusible technique.

—GloryB on March 25, 2015I have tried some of the spray u put on and i hand sticthed around..finally tried my machine none of mine looks as good as hers for sure… I keep practicing..maybe one day mine be half as good looking as Pats…
—Sally on March 25, 2015I have done applique in the past and enjoy learning and would appreciate and welcome the opportunity!
—Deborah Ritacca Glassman on March 25, 2015I have tried hand applique with blanket stitch. Have put off trying any other as I must admit I am a bit frightened by it but there are some beautiful examples. Incidentally I have a love/hate relationship with my machine. It loves to hate me.
—Francine Matthews on March 25, 2015I’ve tried machine and ventured slightly into the fusible appliqué zone but I can use all the direction Pat Sloan can throw my way. She’s such a creative force!

—Diana Barnett on March 25, 2015I have done all 3 types of applique, and really enjoy each of them!
—Sue Fors! on March 25, 2015Hi Pat
—Liz on March 25, 2015Thank you for this wonderful giveaway.
I have done fusible machine applique but it was very heavy and stiff at the end. I have done hand appliqué this was okay when I am not on a dead line to get it done.
I purchased a McKenna Ryan full size quilt kit but am timid to begin. I want to hang it when it is done and am afraid it will weigh a ton.
Good luck everyone. Someone has to win.
Liz
I have not done any applique yet. But it’s on my to do list. I’ll definitely be getting this book. Thanks Pat for all your help
—kristal on March 25, 2015Pat, your book sounds great! I love to know easier ways to do applique. I don’t do a lot right now because it scares me a little. I think I need to read your book; especially about the threads.

—Sandy Milo on March 25, 2015I have tried all forms of applique and prefer fusible and hand over needle turn. My "go to" stitch for both methods is the button hole. It is fast and always looks great!
—Diane Poirier on March 25, 2015i have tried all types of applique and many times use a combination of several different methods. My favorite is back basting. I also love to use the fusible Applique method and either machine or hand buttonhole stitch around each shape, right now I am using a combination Bo back basting and fusible with hand stitching on a William Morris Applique I am doing and that is really fun! I love to Applique no matter what method!
—Patti Mansson on March 25, 2015I have tried every kind of applique ( I think)!! Love doing it on my machine. So much easier. Love the finished look and it is so easy!! Hope I win!!

—pam marshall on March 25, 2015I just learned applique last year and have done hand (using freezer paper with starch or glue, wash-away applique paper with glue, and back basting) and I’ve done invisible machine applique. I haven’t tried fusible yet because I’ve always heard that it makes the quilt stiff. I’d love to win one of these prizes so I could learn more about Pat’s fusible methods – it would certainly speed up the applique process!
—Patti Snyder on March 25, 2015the book and projects look interesting!
—Joni on March 25, 2015It’s always good to learn and try new techniques!
I have tried all 3, but due to lack of time any more I use the fusible the most. As I get older I have to cut some corners to get more projects finished.
—Reita Olberding on March 25, 2015I’ve tried them all! The method I would choose for any given project depends of what the project will be used for and on the complexity of the applique designs.

I am sure with Pat’s assistance I could learn to do much better with my machine and fusible.
Thanks for a chance to win and learn more.

—Sharon S on March 25, 2015i have done some appliqué over the years and it has turned out "just okay!" I would love to learn some new techniques that might make it more enjoyable for me. Right now I’d have to say that machine button hole is my favorite because it’s fast.

—Joyce Carter on March 25, 2015I have used all three methods of applique!
—melissa on March 25, 2015I really like machine stitching with a blanket stitch : )

—Piroska on March 25, 2015I have done one, a crow on a memory quilt for a friend who’s husband passed away. Even though it came out well, with help from a quilty friend, I could use some lessons, your new book would be just the thing to get me started.

—Melissa W on March 25, 2015I have tried fused applique mostly. I took a class in machine applique with turned edges, but I wasn’t too successful.

Again, I probably need more practice with hand work.

—Penny Allen on March 25, 2015I am a self-taught quilter. Mostly find u-tube videos and tutorials anytime I decide to try something new. That’s how I found myself learning applique. My favorite/best results came with hand applique.

—Roslyn Wagner on March 25, 2015I’ve tried all three, but with arthritis in my hands I love Pat’s fusible methods best these days. What a great give away. Thanks, Pat. I’ll order your book too.
—Sharon Hughson on March 25, 2015Anytime I have tried appliqué…..fusible, raw edge or hand……I have been disappointed. Pat’s new book and the additional products would be the answer yo my dilemma.
—Bonnie Diermeier on March 25, 2015i learned needle turned applique more than 30 years ago. However, I’m not able to sew by hand due to arthritis. I have also done folded edge and used the machine instead of hand sewing. Most of the time I do fusible applique because it’s so fast, fun, easy, and versatile. I’m sure I could learn some new tricks with your book. I use Aurifil 50wt for all my piecing, but I use rayon, polyester, and metallic threads as well for the outline stitching. Blanket stitch is my favorite.
—Linda J. on March 25, 2015Mainly fusible applique that is machined stitched. I have tried hand applique but I just cannot get excited about it.
—JoAnn L on March 25, 2015Hello, Have enjoyed doing hand applique and machine applique. Have not tried fusible applique, would love to learn. Thank-you ~
—Julie A. Boster on March 25, 2015I’ve tried machine applique but keep going back to the hand applique. The machine process is just so hard, hoping this book has some helpful hints that make it all come together!
—Marsha Decker on March 25, 2015Thank you for a fabulous giveaway! I have done hand applique, but never fusible or machine. I would love to learn to applique more because I love the look of applique in quilts. Pat’s book looks easy to learn from.
—Michelle Bibby on March 25, 2015My experience with applique is comical!!
Flusible webbing was almost always burned! Snowmen with burn marks go figure…..
Needle turn, now that was adventure I have yet to complete. I look forward to obtaining Pat’s new teach me books. I need all the help I can get.
—Debra W on March 25, 2015I have tried all three but like buttonhole appliqué best
—Teresa on March 25, 2015I almost hesitate to mention this but at one point in my life I was even called the "Applique Queen". My usual techniques are machine and fusible applique but I would dearly love to learn so much more from Pat’s book.
—Norma Weeks on March 25, 2015I am completely new to appliqué but am keen to give it a go. I do other needlework eg embroidery and cross stitch so this would be a new challenge!
—Claire Ross on March 25, 2015I love the daisies that you put together. Your book is something I look forward to working on. I have done mostly machine appliqué. Have a great day!
—Donna Wiedenfeld on March 25, 2015I have done machine and fusible appliqué. Would love to learn more and try different methods and techniques.
—Shirley Alleyne on March 25, 2015I’ve done most types of applique, except for wool. I like the colors and the fun it adds to a quilt. Thanks.
—Maryellen on March 25, 2015I have mainly done hand applique – and not a whole lot of it. The times I have done it, I’ve enjoyed it. I would love to make the Farmer’s market quilt!
—Beth Brown on March 25, 2015I’ve done all three. Anxious to do more! Pat’s book looks like fun!
—Carol on March 25, 2015I’ve tried all three but I liked the hand technique the best.
—Stacy on March 25, 2015I have done all three appliques, I prefer hand applique but that takes a little longer and I don’t always get points done very well. Fusible is the fastest way to go if I have to make something in a hurry.
—Susan on March 25, 2015I’ve done all 3 but machine is my favorite technique. Thanks for a great giveaway.
—debbie on March 25, 2015I have done applique all three ways with varying success. The ones done with fusible web and machine stitched were very disappointing. I did not like the stiffness of the applique pieces nor the quality of the machine stitching. I am looking forward to reading Pat’s book, as her tutorials are always written clearly and easy to understand. She is my quilting hero!!
—Janice King on March 25, 2015I have used all three techniques, each one has advantages depending on the project.
—Jeanette Jensen on March 25, 2015I’ve tried hand and machine fuzed. Machine Fuzed is the way to go!
—Sandy on March 25, 2015I’ve done all of those methods — and sub-categories in each. While I love the look of hand applique (invisible stitching!!), arthritis makes that more difficult now, so my go to now tends to be a very narrow, nearly invisible zig-zag with super fine thread.
—Brenda on March 25, 2015I love machine applique because it is faster but I have done hand also. I just enjoy applique!
—Shirley Thompson on March 25, 2015I have only done fusible, and was not really happy with the edge I put on it. Practice, I am sure. would love to learn more. Thanks for the chance to win.
—Diane on March 25, 2015I have done all three- love fusible as it is so fast and fun!
—Kate on March 25, 2015I have done machine stitched fusible applique, but would love to learn about Pat’s donut method.
—Mary on March 25, 2015I’ve done very little appliqué and would love to get more confident at it. I`d like to master machine appliqué because hand appliqué seems slow.
—Rita on March 25, 2015I have done all three…..I like the softness of hand applique best even though fusible is so much quicker.
—Jane on March 25, 2015I’ve done machine and hand but no fusible!
—Alexis on March 25, 2015I have tried all three and never had much success. The finished product was not up to my high standard. I never really took a class on appliqué so I have just kind of taught myself. A new book would help for sure!!!
—Jacqueline VH on March 25, 2015Thanks!
Quilty Huggs,
Jacqueline
I’m a new quilter and would love to learn fusible applique!
—Nadia Jarreau on March 25, 2015I have tried several machine type applique and fusible. Still not sure which one I like best. I don’t do much hand anything anymore. I like the speed with a machine.

—margaret ann on March 25, 2015I have done a little bit of everything when it comes to applique, but I prefer Pat’s method. I took a workshop from her years ago and would love to refresh my skills with her new book. Thanks for the chance to win such neat prizes.
—Joye on March 25, 2015Back in the early 1970’s I machine appliqued two quilt, plus one never finished. That was my first experience quilting and I loved it. I still have about two applique quilt that are SOMEWHERE in my sewing room.
—Nancy Stone on March 25, 2015I have tried all three applique methods you asked about. I am very partial to using freezer paper and machine appliqueing with invisible thread. However, I would like to practice more on other methods! Your work is always so fun and simple looking. Thank you for the giveaway opportunity.
—Paula on March 25, 2015I’ve done machine and fusible applique. It is so much fun and adds variety to any project. Would love to win this bundle and learn from the best!

—MaryLou on March 25, 2015Am scheduled to take class with Pat. Can’t wait! So far I have only done needle turn applique and am eager to learn how to do fusible that is not hard and crunchy. Would love to win supplies.
—Carole W on March 25, 2015Fusible and machine applique. Love to do it!! Not much of a hand sewer. Love to win your book and the heat n bond. The only kind I use!!
—Julie S on March 25, 2015I would love to learn fusible applique. I have tried a few small projects in the past but did not like how they turned out so I have avoided applique. Pat’s projects look so fun and the donut method intriguing. I would love her book.
—Diana on March 25, 2015I have done all three. I enjoy the hand applique for traveling. I have done a few fusible and several machine. Nice change of pace.

—Terri Francisco on March 25, 2015I have appliqued by machine but it came out stiff as a board. It was to stiff to sew by hand. So I zig-zaged it on the sewing machine. I want the applique to be soft and cuddly. I would like to learn the "doughnut method". I would love to win your book so I could learn to applique the correct way. What a great giveaway. Thanks!
—Diane Calvi on March 25, 2015I have tried all three methods, but have not done any recently. I love having projects to do by hand when I travel. Having the applique come out not stiff would be wonderful.
—Judy Bochner on March 25, 2015I am new to quilting and I have never done applique. I am anxious to learn. I hope that I could win your contest and would love to have your new book.

—Sandra Pigg on March 25, 2015I have never had the courage to try applique. I may just have to get Pat’s book and give it a shot!
—miss tristin on March 25, 2015I have tried all three. My favorite is a quilt for my son with 29 prehistoric animals machine appliquéd. Pat’s new book has so many lovely ideas.
—Sue L on March 25, 2015I’ve done hand, fusible and raw edge applique but I’d really like too get better at hand applique. It still intimidates me. I love the patterns in your book.

—Donna Lopez on March 25, 2015My very favorite is raw edge though!
I have tried all three of these methods of applique. I like to do all of them . I can’t wait for a sew-along with you! Woo hoo! I am excited!
—Julie on March 25, 2015I have only done fusible and machine appliqué. I am going to be doing some embellishing soon so will be learning to do needle turn. I would love to win Pat’s book and that lovely aurifil thread. The fabric would be nice too.
—Margie Brecik on March 25, 2015I love hand applique. I prefer machine when there’s larger pieces and there’s room for quilting embellishment.
—Linda O on March 25, 2015I love all three types of applique. One of the first applique books I bought was one by Pat Sloan, her patterns are so much fun and so whimsical.

—Karen K on March 25, 2015I have only done a couple appliques but really want to do more. I would love to win this giveaway. Thank you for the opportunity to win.
—Rita Haverman on March 25, 2015Wow what a prize!! I have tried hand applique and machine applique but prefer to use the machine on bigger pieces, its quicker and much neater.
—Kerri Hunter on March 25, 2015I have done all forms of applique, can’t say that I have an absolute favorite. Each one has it’s good points. Fusible is great if you are in a hurry. For all around mental health and contemplation I love needle turn, it really quiets my heart and my mind.
—Bobbie Molony on March 25, 2015I have done some applique even some of yours. But would love to have your new book. Haven’t lately though. Daughter moved back in with grandson. Money tight. You are awesome
—Lucy Sumerlin on March 25, 2015I’ve tried all methods. I would love to know how to get the stitching just right when making a turn on a point, among other things. I use a sewing machine for appliqué. It’s quicker! The book looks to be really good and I want it whether I win a copy or not. Thanks for the great giveaway opportunity! So generous!
—Maeve on March 25, 2015I love the look of appliqued quilts and have tried all three methods. I do feel a little overwhelmed when starting an appliqué project though.
—Sherry on March 25, 2015WOW Pat, those quilts are awesome, but than again I expect nothing less from you. You know by now you are one of my favorite quilters. I have done all three and it seems so far fusible is my favorite. Just seems easy to me, I always stitch around it, as I feel quilts should be used, even wall hangings need washed every once in awhile. Well thank you so much for the giveaway. I sure hope it pulls me. I would love to win this one. Have a great day, once again thank you so very much. Great give away..

—Debbie Jernigan on March 25, 2015I have tried several methods of hand applique with varying degrees of success and a lot of frustration! I tried machine applique and the first few attempts were dismal failures!!My first attempt at using visible was a stiff ugly mess! In September I was very fortunate to take a class in New York taught by Pat Sloan that was a game changer for me. (An lost my attitude that the only good applique was hand applique- who knew that I could get some applique done that was pleasing,soft,and looked great?!)
—Machelle on March 25, 2015I have tried machine and fusible applique. Honestly, however, I seem to avoid doing applique. Very hard to do when I love Dresden’s and putting names on quilts :/

—Bonnie Larson on March 25, 2015I have tried machine and hand appliqué, loved them both! Would love to make the farmers market throw. It’s adorable!!
—Denise Mancuso on March 25, 2015I have done a bit of hand and machine appliqué. Would love to hear your techniques with cuddly soft results. The projects look so colorful and fun.
—Julia on March 25, 2015I have done some blanket stitch. Been thinking on what to bring on our 2 week vacation this summer. This will be perfect to bring with and learn new ways to applique. Can not wait!
—Julie Kaufmann on March 25, 2015I love to appliqué and have done most every kind, both machine and hand, but not the fusible method that Pat is showing in her book. Would love to learn. Always looking for an easier and good looking method.
—Grace Pace on March 25, 2015I did a sampler with all 3. I prefer tucked edges and hidden stitches,

—Kim S on March 25, 2015I use Aurafil to piece and love it. It lasts forever! I have not tried appliqueing with it yet. Will certainly try it–and some softer fusibles. All the hints are good ones–looking forward to the book!
Lynda in Spokane

—Melissa Meinhard on March 25, 2015I have tried all 3 of these ways to applique. I love the look of applique and the fun of doing it too. I would be so excited if I won this fantastic giveaway! Thank you and your friends so much for this chance! 🙂
—Kathy on March 25, 2015I have done machine, fusible and hand applique! All fun! I like to switch techniques to match the project I’m doing. I’d love to win a prize like this, especially the Aurifil thread and Pat Sloan’s book!

—Dawn Caines on March 25, 2015I have done all 3 types of appliqué, and I like them all. Each project will lend itself to one of the methods, I think. But also, each method will give you a different looking project.
—Sally Bickley on March 25, 2015I have just enough experience with appliqué to make me crave more expertise. My Baby Lock embroidery machine will appliqué and that element got me started with exploring other ways to enjoy this process. I love combining techniques of quilting, machine embroidery and appliqué in a single project. Such creative fun!
—Judy Kinney on March 25, 2015The quilt shop that I frequent led me to Aurifil for quilting and I have been very satisfied with that product.

I have done hand appliqué on small projects. I would love to perfect my hand appliqué technique and learn machine appliqué. Thank you
—Helen on March 25, 2015I have done mostly hand applique and a little fusible with machine edging. My machine applique leaves much to be desired. Can’t wait to learn how to do it successfully using Pat’s methods and patterns.
—Nancy Combs on March 25, 2015Fusible, traditional needle turn, Ricky Tims, machine appliqué, love them all!!! Learning new tips would be awesome! Love Pat Sloan!
—Katy Lutz on March 25, 2015Whoopee!!!
—marilyn on March 25, 2015I love a giveaway especially with Pat Sloan 🙂
I love applique on a quilt or any project, it gives it your personal touch that makes it your own creation different from any one else. I have tried all kinds of appliques, but I would love to win a copy of your book!
—Kristie Bolick on March 25, 2015My first attempt at appliqué was needle turn, in fact it was my first attempt at quilting. Then came a combination of fusible and machine. I like the machine appliqué as I’m a getter done person.
—Rita S on March 25, 2015All three
—Teri powers on March 25, 2015only appliqué I’ve done was a Suspender Sam quilt. I’d love to learn to do flowers and other designs. It would certainly be proof you can teach an old quilter new tricks.
—Jean Raines on March 25, 2015i have tried all three applique techniques.
—Jane Brown on March 25, 2015I’ve tried both hand and machine applique, but am not accomplished by any means. More instruction is needed!
—Kathie L on March 25, 2015I’ve done needle turn appliqué but it makes my hands hurt. I’d love to learn how to do it by machine!
—Denette on March 25, 2015I’ve been quilting for 55 years. Who remembers every quilt? 😀 I think I’ve done all 3, but not sure all of them were ever finished. A lot was lost in a flood about 10 years ago. Today I designed about a dozen rug mugs, all have applique. I’ll be using all 3 methods, probably. 😀
—Sondra Anderson on March 25, 2015I have done all 3 types of applique, but I do enjoy hand applique. What a wonderful give away. Patty B.
—Patty Bretheim on March 25, 2015I have done machine and fusible applique – think I like the machine best!

How marvelous to see this book! I’m eager to win one and the other special prizes. Thanks, Pat!

—Stephanie on March 25, 2015I have tried hand and fusible applique
—Karen Van Es on March 25, 2015At Christmas time, I machine appliqued letters from the Moda booklet onto decorative pillows for some young friends to put on their beds. It was my first attempt, and could have been much better, but I was proud anyway, and the children loved them. I would love to learn how to properly appliqué by machine and by hand. I have learned a great deal from several previous books by Pat Sloan. I’d love to win a prize that included her book on appliqué!
—Karen on March 25, 2015I like to do machine applique and I do a satin stitch. Fantastic giveaway.
—Mary Ann on March 25, 2015I’ve tried all three types of applique. I took a hand applique class at a quilt shop about 20 years ago. That project still isn’t finished. LOL
—Jan N. on March 25, 2015I have only done hand applique so far . . .
—laurie on March 25, 2015I have used each method as each has a place depending on desired effect. I consider needle turn applique for items like quilts and things that hopefully will be cared for. Quilts for children on the other hand, need to be made to be machine washed often. Wall hangings do not need extra stitching as they will not be washed.
—BooChura on March 25, 2015My favorite appliqué is done by hand. I have also done some machine appliqué with the blanket stitch.
—Sally Williams on March 25, 2015i made my first appliqué quilt last summer for my daughter using my AccuQuilt Go and machine quilting it using a blanket stich in black. It turned out ok but I really could have used Pat Sloan’s book! : )
—Sharon Hofer on March 25, 2015I’d love to win and start quilting again! Beautiful designs.
—Ellen pollema on March 25, 2015I am a fairly new quilter, I’ve only completed 2 quilts, and both were crib size. I’m looking to broaden my skills, and appliqué is something that has been calling to me. This would be a fantastic opportunity to learn a new skill.n
—Cindy brunson on March 25, 2015I have tried hand applique but it was not a success. Fusible applique may be worth a try, especially if the applique blocks remain soft.
—Grace on March 25, 2015I’ve tried hand and machine. I’d like to try fusible.
—Rita Corey on March 25, 2015I have tried many applique methods including fusible, starch prepared hand and machine, English paper, and needle turn. Not really happy with any of them and wanting to learn Pat’s method as I have some designs I want to applique.
—Wanda on March 25, 2015I have done all three; I prefer to do by hand. Book sounds great.
—nancy in IN on March 25, 2015I’ve done all three but haven’t been very good with any of them.

—June on March 25, 2015hand, machine, fusible — repeat. Rotate. Try again. Machine. Fusible. Etc
—MaryAnn Chick Whiteside on March 25, 2015I have been quilting and want to learn how to do Applique and have stocked up on patterns, just need to take the step. Love to win so I can finally start what I’ve been putting off. I want to take a class, but strapped for money (me and a lot of others). Thanks for the chance.
—Karen Propes on March 26, 2015ncjeepster@aol.com
I’ve avoided patterns with applique because I never learned it. What fun patterns in this new book by Pat Sloan, I love her colour choices 🙂 and have been following her for a few years. Hope to win one of the books – fingers crossed!
—Inge Christensen on March 26, 2015I have done all three methods of appliqué and use Aurifil thread for all my quilt piecing.
—Bev M. on March 26, 2015It’s great for piecing and blends in nicely with any colour material.
I have done all three appliqué methods, but the one I do most is fusible.
—Anita on March 26, 2015I’ve tried needle turn applique, with not a great deal of success. Most of my applique is now done on the sewing machine. I have yet to try needle turn with out the needle turn technique that I was shown before moving across the country.
—Sonja Trower on March 26, 2015I have tried all three. I only discovered fusibles a year or so ago and they have been a revelation. I can’t hand sew any more because of neuropathy in my hands, so can’t, also, really manage needle turn. Fusibles have enabled me to applique small and fiddly shapes as well as large circles without fear of puckering. I love applique
—Emma richards on March 26, 2015I have done both machine and hand applique although I have had more success with hand applique. Very intrigued with Pat’s donut approach to machine applique. I use Aurifil thread all the time, have never tried it for applique. Pat’s applique has always drawn me in, her patterns are wonderful. Thank you for an opportunity to win.
—Mary Ann on March 26, 2015Fusible applique the best way to get it done!
—Jill redding on March 26, 2015I am new to quilting. And I have really gotten the bug. I have not tried fusible applique yet but definitely want to try it all!
—Del Ann Haslett on March 26, 2015Blanket stitch applique is my favorite method. Sincerely, Paula K.
—Paula K. on March 26, 2015I don’t have the patience for hand sewing usually, although I would like to settle down and try it. I have done fusible and machine applique and love it
—barbara blair on March 26, 2015I’ve only used machine and fusible. I’ve not done any hand applique. I’m drawn to applique and think it adds something special to any sewing project.
—Cheryl Barron on March 26, 2015I hand applique, and I love it!
—Ann on March 26, 2015I’ve tried all three and really need more help in this area.
—karen fisher on March 26, 2015I have done all methods of appliqué machine and hand, fusible,freezer paper, reverse , and top stitch. I love them all but my preferred method is fast! So machine is lovely. I follow Pat online and love her work.
—Janet Green on March 26, 2015I have tried them all! But these days I am all about getting quilts done so the fusible technique really appeals to me. This book looks awesome!
—Deb Fox-mchugh on March 26, 2015I was scared of applique and avoided it for a long time. Then I tried a small piece and it wasn’t so bad. I’d love to learn more about it!
—Liz Horgan on March 26, 2015Liz
applique… Makes me sway…:-)))

—Lori Smanski on March 26, 2015I have used all three methods to applique, but always seem to come back to hand applique-mostly because it is the softest. I can wait to try your method! Hopefully I can get more done(hand applique takes me forever). Would love to win your giveaway!
—Jackie Bellinghiere on March 26, 2015I am just starting to learn applique this giveaway would be a dream come true to help me get started!!!!! sonjamclane76@yahoo.com
—Sonja mclane on March 26, 2015I have tried hand applique and the fusible. I would love to win Pat’s book to be able to improve my skills. Thanks for the chance to win.
—Sue Kolczak on March 26, 2015I use them all depending on the project but like doing hand appliqué the best. Thanks for the giveaway!
—Diane on March 26, 2015I have done both machine and fusible applique. I would love to see Pat’s new book! Some day I would like to learn hand applique.
—liz on March 26, 2015I have tried all three ways, but i prefer hand applique. I love Pat’s work!!!
—Karen McClung on March 26, 2015I’ve done fusible, hand applique and machine applique. Depends on the project as to which I use.
Thanks for the chance to win!!
—Rita S. on March 26, 2015I’ve done very rudimentary fusible and machine applique. I definitely want to learn the "right" way to do it as I love the look that applique gives to projects. Thanks for the opportunity!
—KarenB in Oregon on March 26, 2015I have done the applique with freezer paper and statch. I would like to try other ways. I like your projects.
—Brenda on March 26, 2015I’ve done all three, but really love hand appliqué. Thanks for the chance to win!
—Betsy Lynn on March 26, 2015I do all three types of applique, and enjoy doing them all. But, hand applique is my favorite. Relaxing to sit down to watch TV and have some applique to do. Also makes watching TV more productive.
—Donna W on March 26, 2015I’ve tried all three methods and have not found a favorite yet! I’m hoping Pat’s method will be the winner.
—Karen Anderson on March 26, 2015I have tried needle turn applique and fusible applique as well as using freezer paper and starch applique. My favorite is using fusible applique as it is so quick and easy.
—Victoria Luxton on March 26, 2015I would love to win this applique book from Pat Sloan.
Hugs!
I’ve done all three methods! I love appliqué. It depends on the project as to which method I’ll use.
—Terri D on March 26, 2015I have tried all three, but have been most successful with hand applique, until lately. My fingers just don’t work well for needle turn anymore, and it’s frustrating. I’d like to learn to use the machine better and get a softer result with fusible, so this book sounds like just what I need. Thanks for the opportunity to win!
—Kearstie Grenier on March 26, 2015I applique using the fusible and machine stitching for design. I often find the glue from the fusible sticks to the needle slowing down the project. Any idea why that happens?
—DIANE AYER on March 26, 2015I have done machine applique and fusible. Sometimes a combination. I always do raw edge. I was never taught to hand sew so it’s not very attractive! Would love Pat’s new book!
—Michlle Browning on March 26, 2015I’m pointing one of my quilt guilds to this blog to see the "donut method".

—Dani on March 26, 2015I’ve tried fusible, but it didn’t go so well. I’d love some help from Pat!
—Donna V. on March 26, 2015I have tried all three types of applique, but could use some pointers on making the end result look better. Never to old to learn some new tricks.
—Gloria P. on March 26, 2015I’ve tried all three! I love the look of hand appliqué but use my machine more often. Thank you for the chance to win such great prizes! Good luck all!
—Meaghan on March 26, 2015I’m a newbie at machine quilting & applique. Everything I see I want to do. Everything’s so beautiful. I’m itching to do a quilt for my daughter’s team that won the Texas State Basketball 6A Championship and I know Pat’s book and any one of these products would help me get the job done right!
—Virgie Viverette on March 26, 2015I do mostly fusible with machine blanket stitch. Try not to do hand sewing if I can help it. Recently saw new technique done with machine but look like hand applique may give it a try. Think it used water soluble stabilizer.
—Steven on March 26, 2015I started with hand appliqué and loved it and was surprised that I was actually good at it. I own a quilting business so I really don’t have time to do hand appliqué. I’ve tried machine appliqué but hate it. It’s difficult to do points and my "expensive" machine does not have a decent blanket stitch. I have always wondered if a different thread would make a difference, but have never tried it out. I really need to buy this book!
—Candy Butala on March 26, 2015I love. Applique! I can’t hand sew anything due to a buggered wrist, but I love machine applique, raw edge. It’s so much fun to be able to create anything you want. I typically use either a satin stitch or a blanket stitch.
—Bizz McKilligan on March 26, 2015I have tried many wars. Freezer paper,needle turn,glued,starched,wash away, tearaway. Now I would like to learn the right way.
Carol
—Carol Mallozzi on March 26, 2015Should read ways not wars.
—Carol Mallozzi on March 26, 2015Darn auto spell

I use all three types of applique. What I use usually depends on the time frame I have to get the project completed. I like to keep a hand applique project by my chair to work on while visiting and watching television with my husband in the evening. Thanks for offering this fabulous give away.
—Audrey on March 26, 2015My first applique project using fusible webbing was from your book Pat Sloan, Berry Hill Quilts,started in 2008 and finished in 2013. In a local quilt show, it won 1st place in the wall-hanging applique category. I’d love to win your new book and learn more about applique.
—Debbie W. on March 26, 2015I have been learning needle turn method.
—Cheryl McGee on March 26, 2015Machine oblique is at the top of my Bucket List. Winning would be a great way to get started.
—Julia Hughes on March 26, 2015I have tried fusible applique so far. I would like to learn the other techniques. I follow Pat’s blog, she is a great teacher.
—Jackie on March 26, 2015I have tried all three methods. The hand applique was difficult to learn and keep track of it-being a lefty I have to look at pictures differently and I just didn’t get it. The machine and fusible I have also used with different results – you book sounds perfect for me — small quilts/wall hangings with lots of pictures and instructions. Thanks for the offer!
—Suzanne on March 26, 2015I’ve done a bit of all three. If I’m going to do it by machine, I want fusible. Since getting tendinitis, I can’t sew by hand as quickly, easily, or for long periods of time. The biggest one lately, is teaching myself needle-turn hand appliqué (Hawaiian style). My appliqué skills are growing, and Pat is a fun teacher!
—Rachell R on March 26, 2015reillyr2(at)hotmail(dot)com
I started with needle turn appliqué , but realized quickly that I wasn’t going to do much of that. Then I saw and learned freezer paper/starch method, that was better but not the answer. When ever I got to a quilt that had appliqué it was where I stopped (or I didn’t even start if it had a lot of appliqué ). Till I found a pattern for a quilt that had quite a bit of appliqué but was so cute that I had to get it to make for my Granddaughter. Wanting to make it before she grew up I decided machine was the way to go. I did a modified machine appliqué . It came out fine but I wish I had known some of Pat’s techniques. I’m looking forward to her book and sharing her techniques with my beginning quilting classes that I teach.
—Ruth Schroeder on March 26, 2015The only applique I have done is sewing my son’s boyscout patches on his official shirt and vest (if that counts). The iron on backing never seems to stick.
—Janna on March 26, 2015I’ve bought countless number of books on applique. I’ve tried all kinds of techniques. Each has it pros and cons.
—Barbara Bashaw on March 26, 2015i have done fusible appliqué and blanket stitching for outlining on my machine. I have used many of Pat Sloan’s tips from her website. She is great!!!
—Debbie on March 26, 2015I’m excited to see this book and collection of supplies. My on line friends and I have challenged ourselves to learn to Applique. We all did the same quilt to see how it was working. (we are still in the midst of it) We are doing the type that you turn and press with spray starch and then hand stitch it to the quilt. Well I cheated on some very tight ones and did a zig zag stitch around them to keep some loose ends in. I’ve also tried some where you sew wst with light fabric and turn out to hand stitch or machine embroider. We need help though LOL
—Debbie Rogowski on March 26, 2015I would like to try machine applique
—Nadine on March 26, 2015I’m new tp quilting, but would love to learn an easy method to appliqué !
—Julie Lyons on March 26, 2015I have done hand applique, but I have never tried either of the other two methods. I would love to win!! Thank you.
—Barbara Pricola on March 26, 2015All three and I love the various applications of each ~
—Dea on March 26, 2015I have tried machine applique, because I have been too much of a chicken to try hand…. until now. Since I just completed hand quilting a twin quilt, and have been making hexagons like crazy, I think I am ready to try hand applique.
—Ruth on March 26, 2015I have tried applique and like it,but mostly do the pieced quilts for babies,
—Pauline Dvorak on March 26, 2015I would like to do more applique and am interested in different weights of thread- I am doing your block of the month and have 2 blocks done-need to do the third one soon ,hopefully before the next one comes out.
I think your book would be very interesting.Pick Me!!!!
I’ve done all three kinds of applique! I normally do hand work in the evenings while watching tv.
—Becki on March 26, 2015i’ve tried them all but mostly do fusible.
—carolyn montgomery on March 26, 2015I have tried applique methods of all kinds. I still prefer hand stitching but it can be so difficult to get through the stabilizer and I really need to learn the machine stitching to save my hands. I really need this book. Thanks for the giveaway. Good luck everyone.
—CindyM in Oregon on March 26, 2015I have tried hand applique and like it,but mostly do the pieced quilts for babies,
—Pauline Dvorak on March 26, 2015I would like to do more applique and am interested in different weights of thread- I am doing your block of the month and have 2 blocks done-need to do the third one soon ,hopefully before the next one comes out.
I think your book would be very interesting. Thank You for the quilt blocks. Pick Me!!!!
I have tried fusible applique on a couple projects!
—Christine Sherman on March 26, 2015I have tried all three methods; hand, fusible, and machine. I love all three! Applique is just so versatile and fun!
—Amanda Best on March 26, 2015I have always wanted to learn sewing machine embroidery but never brave enough to try it on my own. Now with Pat’s new book, I will have no excuses! Let’s go!
—Barbara Arnold on March 26, 2015I have tried all 3 but am really looking forward to reading Pat’s book – new ideas are always great!!
—Marvel Dunaway on March 26, 2015I have done Sunbonnet Sue that my Grandmother prepped years ago and I stitched the Briar stitch around. I have used wonder under and steam a seam and stitched on my machine sometimes better then others!
—Becky T on March 26, 2015I have done all three applique types, would love to learn Pat’s techniques!!
—Caryn Bravos on March 26, 2015I have tried it all! My favorite technique is the "starch method" of hand applique…although, I use it with machine as a prep method. I HATE raw edges on most of my applique, but do find raw edge as another tool to use in my quilting.
—Marsha Jean on March 26, 2015I do a lot of applique. I was lucky enough to take a class with Kim Diehl through my local quilt guild. It was a great class and I’ve been using her freezer paper method ever since. I also like to use the Buckley template method when I have a lot of the same appliques and for circles. Recently I’ve been using Lynette Anderson’s method with applique paper and fabric glue to make small applique pieces. I have yet to try raw edge applique so this book by Pat would be perfect for me.
—Laura P in NH on March 26, 2015Can’t wait to try the techniques in Pat’s book! I have only done machine!
—Cindy F on March 26, 2015I have tried all 3 but I prefer machine!

—Kelly Reimer on March 26, 2015I’ve done hand and machine applique and won a ribbon with my hand applique however, it is slow and the machine applique is really pretty and faster! I would really like to learn Pat’s way to applique because her projects are so well done!
—Jennifer P on March 26, 2015I have tried fusible and machine appliqué especially because I like snowmen( a little tired of snow this year). Would enjoy Pat’s new book and some goodies to welcome spring.
—Annie Neumann on March 26, 2015all three, but I like fusible the best

—Kimberley on March 26, 2015Beautiful quilts. I would love to learn to do this.
—Judi on March 26, 2015I love applique the way it looks when paired with pieced blocks. I learned to do several hand applique methods but I am a machine person. I have used fusibles and have done it without fusibles. I often wonder what weight of thread to use and when. Would love to win one of the packages with Pat Sloan’s book. Thank you for the opportunity. Janice P
—Janice P on March 26, 2015I do machine & fusible only as my hands aren’t as nimble as they once were. Love Pat! She is so much fun to follow.
—Janet Frank on March 26, 2015I’ve done machine applique and fusible web, but I’m dying to try my hand at hand applique. Thanks for the giveaway.
—MaryBeth on March 26, 2015I love to use fusible. I use it for making baby quilts and birthday banners. It’s so much fun!
—Terry harrison on March 26, 2015I would "sew" love to have that book. I am a quilter, mostly more traditional type quilts. I see so many beautiful appliqued quilts now that I would love to change things up. Looks like this book would be just the right one for me, a teaching book, not just a pattern book.
—Pam Nichols on March 26, 2015I have done machine fusiable. I like to put applique flowers on a dress shirt or denim shirt. I haven’t done applique in awhile. Most of the applique I have done recently was with the embroidery machine.
—Paula on March 26, 2015Love, love appliqué and I need a new project. Haven’t done much machine appliqué and would love to learn.
—Judy Dunn on March 26, 2015I’ve never tried appliqué but would like to learn. Thanks.

—Martina on March 26, 2015I have done both hand and machine applique. I orefer the machine. I would like to have Pat’s book to learn more ways of doing it.
—Sharon on March 26, 2015I did fusible applique last year for a quilt I made for my son – fleur de lis appliques. They turned out well enough for my first time, and I would like to do more! Needle-turned applique sounds very difficult – so I may stick to fusible and machine! Thanks!!!
—Lydia Blalock on March 26, 2015I have tried all kinds of applause. Love it.
—Lynda Reeve on March 26, 2015I have done a little fusible appliqué and some needle turn applique, but really enjoyed the fusible more. Can’t wait to see your book. Thank you for sharing a preview.
—Pat Fasone on March 26, 2015I have only done hand applique using the "tuck under as you go" method. I usually just cut out the pieces by leaving a 1/4th inch around the edge and then clip every so often so it will lay flat when you tuck it under. It sounds like I really need to learn a better way of doing this!!
—Jean on March 26, 2015Have done all three. Prefer fused with finished edge then machine button holed for pretty.
—Ruth Sunday on March 26, 2015I love applique! I have tried all types of applique but machine applique is what I do the most. It is faster and that means more projects get completed and new ones started! Looking forward to Pat’s new book!
—Laurie Ringler on March 26, 2015I usually do needle turn applique, but have done raw edge and fused with a zigzag stitch (my machine does not have a blanket stitch!). I like applique and would love to learn Pat’s method by winning this great giveaway! Thanks for the opportunity.
—Evie H on March 26, 2015I just started sewing and quilting i have been following pat sloan and her methods are so easy I have been looking into learning applique too.
—Heather Honea on March 26, 2015I started quilting by using hand appilque and embroidery in my quilts. In just the past two years, I have started using machine appilque. I love how it allows me to express myself more and feel more connected to the quilt.
—Barbara Fritsche on March 26, 2015I love hand applique but find there is a time and place for both fusible and machine applique. I feel learning different techniques are just more tools in your sewing basket.
—Debbie ballard on March 26, 2015I’ve tried all three but have never learned needle turn, which is on "my list". I am intrigued by Pat’s method and her book sounds wonderful–those quilts are darling!
—Beth T. on March 26, 2015I have tried all 3 and love all 3!! Depending on how my composition of fabrics will look on my design wall determines my course of action.
Thanks for the opportunity to win a give away!!!
—Gay Ferland on March 26, 2015Beautiful work!!!!
I’ve tried machine and fusible.
—Roz Barrett on March 26, 2015I have done hand applique and recently tried back basting applique.
—karen baskett on March 26, 2015New techniques are always on my to do list. 🙂
I have completed many hand stitched wool table toppers, and one day hope to work on a wool applique quilt. I love the way the wool feels when its in your hands and on your lap. I have completed one baby quilt using cotton fabrics and the blanket stitch to applique and enjoyed the machine technique as well. Looking forward to browsing through the tips of this book. Thanks Pat for your Blog and ideas and patterns and for coming to Ohio Valley Quilt guild this past year. Chris
—Chris Caster on March 26, 2015I have worked some applique by hand, but hope to get into doing more especially with my machine.
—Gay Delaney on March 26, 2015I’ve tried all three. Fusible is so much easier, but needle turned appliqué gives it a much softer look.
—Dorothy Harrison on March 26, 2015Chances are slim for me to win, but was happy to see all the interest in Pat’s new book. I have a couple of her older books and a few patterns. I love her technique and have tried all three methods of appliqué. I would love to win this new book. Love the daisy quilt on the cover!
—Diane Duplissis on March 26, 2015I am lucky enough to have a friend who loves Pat Sloan and has taken many of her classes. This friend showed me how to do needle turn. When we discovered we had the same kit (Bella Blooms, using Pat Sloan’s Arabella fabric line), we decided to do it at the same time, meeting twice a month. I entered the wallhanging at our local fair last year and won a 1st place blue ribbon….my first applique project! I was hooked from that point on. Thank you for opening my eyes to a new, satisfying form of creativity.
—Carol Kirk on March 26, 2015I have tried all three but I am not great at hand applique. I do enjoy fusible and machine. I would love to win one of these wonderful bundles.
—Ina Stringfellow on March 26, 2015I have mostly done needle turn applique and a little fusible

—Marlene Leonardo on March 26, 2015Appliqué: I’ve tried all three methods….hand on wool, fleece by machine, and a little of fusible with wool and cloth.
Thank you for the fun of a give-away!!!
I first took a class in hand applique (needle-turn), then another shorter one in Hawaiian applique & quilting, and then I made my first fusible-appliqued wall quilt of hearts. I would really like to know how Pat’s applique comes out soft and not stiff. Thanks for the opportunity to win some great stuff and a really big THANK YOU to Pat for ALL of the books & patterns she’s written.
—MaryM on March 26, 2015I have done machine applique. I have used the fusible method with raw edges and I have used the starch method for the pieces to be ready to sew on (turn under seam allowance with starch).
—Irene Quednow on March 26, 2015Would love to learn more about applique!
—Lynn McDole on March 26, 2015I have tried some of each in the past- I am new to quilting and would love to learn this method. The work looks awesome.
—Robin on March 26, 2015I’ve tried all 3 and prefer the fusible. Much easier for me !
—Debbie Bristow on March 26, 2015I’ve tried fusible and can’t wait to try other techniques
—Merry Ericksen on March 26, 2015I have tried all 3, but I prefer machine or hand over fusible, I love applique, it is a beautiful art.
—Debra Ingle on March 26, 2015I’ve tried both machine applique & fusible applique. I’ve done raw edge invisible stitch & blanket/buttonhole stitch. I don’t do a lot of it but I have done some over the years. Your new book looks like a great teaching/reference tool! Hope I win one of the bundles you are giving away but I won’t hold my breath cuz I never win cool stuff like this!
—Jan B on March 26, 2015I have tried all three. I recently tried wool applique using a whip stitch and loved it. Most of my projects have machine applique on them. I love it and use it all the time.
—Jodi Heins on March 26, 2015I love the look of an applique quilt but have never produced one — yet. I would love to win this book. Thank you for the opportunity.
—Rita Haverman on March 26, 2015I’ve only tried the fusible/raw edge. Would love to try the needle turn some day. What a great give away.
—Frances Servoss on March 26, 2015I have never had the opportunity to try applique. I have seen many projects but would not know what to do first. Would love to have the chance to read Pat’s book.
—Debi Jimenez on March 26, 2015I have done a variety of appliqué methods. When I teach my beginning students I teach them a method like Pat’s. Looking forward to her new book!
—Geri Tietjen on March 26, 2015I have done all three, I love the look of doing it by hand but don’t always have the time so mostly do with my machine. Would love to win your book for tips on how to applique better.
—Sally Christiansen on March 26, 2015I took my first machine applique workshop from Pat and because of her, I now love it!
—kim cummings on March 26, 2015I have done fusible applique several years ago when my children were small. When I took quilting classes at our local community college, I learned to do needle turned applique. I really enjoyed the ease and versatility using this method. We pieced a "window" background and appliqued various flowers and leaves on top.
—Helen R on March 26, 2015I really like hand appliqué by using the needle turn method.
—Mary Burn on March 26, 2015Enjoying appliqué. Can’t wait to learn more from your book!
—Sandy Seifert on March 26, 2015I have done hand (which I love to do – very relaxing) and paperpiecing – love keeping up with new techniques for appliqué
—Maggie Hesse on March 26, 2015I have tried mainly hand appliqué. I have a needle turn project to start once I have finished some UFO’s. I would like to learn machine appliqué as I have been very disappointed with the attempts I have made. I love Pat’s fabrics, but they are very hard to get here. Finally found Aurifil thread and I am now a convert.
—Debbie Griffiths on March 26, 2015I’ve tried fusible and machine appliqué. I don’t think I have the patience for hand work! Thanks for the chance to win!
—Suzette on March 26, 2015I have done hand and machine appliqué in the past and am just beginning a Fusible BOM appliqué. I have liked each of them – depending on the quilt type.
—Peg Purdue on March 26, 2015I’ve only tried hand applique but it was a long time ago. I’d love to learn more.
—Stephanie Ragland on March 26, 2015I have done some machine applique and a lot of wool applique with button hole stitch.
—neena on March 26, 2015I have used all three forms of appliqué depending on what the job necessitates ~ hand appliqué is fun to do and often I utilize a combination of 2 or all 3 together = iron on then machine stitch and then hand stitch for ornamental purposes 🙂
—Emily on March 26, 2015I have done all three methods. I would love to win. The Daisy pattern quilt project is calling my name!
—Linda LaRose on March 26, 2015I’ve only done hand applique, but and dying to try machine – just too intimidated.
—CherylJ on March 26, 2015On my first quilt I used fusible and machine sewing second the same with. Hand appliqué also

—Dianna Sides on March 26, 2015I have tried machine and fusible (neither one was very successful). I’d love to have the step by step book by Pat to get better at applique!! thank you!
—Stacey King on March 26, 2015I have tried all three and would love to win one of the bundles of goodies!!
—Sandra Payne on March 26, 2015I have tried both hand and machine applique. Machine applique is the most versatile and creative way to apply applique. It can be firm or soft depending how you apply your fusible web. You can use decorative stitches to give it a whimsical look. So, it depends on the amount of time I have to finish the quilt or what work best for the design of the quilt. Appliques adds texture to quilts. Also, it can be use to cover up mistakes. Oops, did I say mistakes….lol (a design feature).
—tea on March 26, 2015Have done all three but know there are tips and tricks that are still to be learned! Would love a chance at a great package of goodies!!
—Gina on March 26, 2015I have tried most applique techniques and cannot wait to view your new book!

—Amanda Best on March 26, 2015This prize looks amazing, thanks!
I watched a tutorial on the Internet and tried it with some scraps. I didn’t hate it but I could use practice and probably additional knowledge.
—Heather Hale on March 26, 2015I have tried all three types of applique. I really like machine applique the best. My grandmother hand appliqued quilts, she use to make a quilt with polyester squares and go over every seam with "turkey tracks" which I have come to know now is the feather stitch. I would love to learn more about applique. I would like to try different weights of thread to see what the outcome would be. Hopefully not a birds nest. Lol
—Janet Mace on March 26, 2015Mostly I’ve done needle turn. On the occasions when I fused, it was the entire piece and I didn’t care for the stiff feel of the final product. Last year I was lucky enough to take Pat’s workshop, when she came to Cincinnati, and I learned her method and love it. Now I feel like it will be possible to complete more of the quilts I hope to make.
—Cass Plott on March 26, 2015I just took up quilting three years ago and became hooked. I bought couple of small applique project kits then decided to take a class to learn machine applique to learn how to do them. Then I joined a civil war quilt club and did my first hand applique project which included 32 needle turned baskets. They actually didn’t turn out too bad. I have since signed up for couple block of the month applique quilts. One fusible wit mavhine finish and plan to to needle turn on the other. Ambitious projects and I think Pats book will be a great resource for these projects. Plus her fabrics are scrumptious.
—Nancy on March 26, 2015My one and only attempt at applique was by machine. It has a million mistakes, I should have bought a book (like Pats)!
—Wanda Phillips on March 26, 2015I would love to try it again, just haven’t found anything that truly loved, until now, I love The Farmers Market quilt! I work for a produce company so this would be perfect.
I’ve done all three, and can appreciate all three. I definitely prefer fusible for projects that can’t take a lifetime. These projects like like FUN!!!
—Carole S. on March 26, 2015I have tried hand, machine and iron on – along with combining different techniques together – I have not mastered ant of them but keep putting in the effort to get better – I could really use some good instructions and Pat can supply them I am sure
—Jeanie on March 26, 2015I’ve mostly done machine applique, after fusing it down. I’m not into hand stitching but maybe I can grow to like it!

I call this my cheating technique. My friends think that I am nuts to cut out pieces for applique. I love cutting out things and this started with me cutting out paper dolls many, many years ago.

—Amy Elliott on March 26, 2015I have tried all three and need help! I guess I get the best results using hand applique, but I am sure that there must be an easier way. I really dont do as much applique as I would like because I dont find it very easy.
—Mina on March 26, 2015Years ago, I hand appliqued a chicken sitting on a nest for my first attempt at applique. I loved the process but it was so time consuming. I haven’t tried to applique since, but I would love to try machine applique. Pat’s book looks inspiring!

—Lorraine Bradley on March 26, 2015I am learning to appliqué. This sounds like an amazing resource to learn from.
—Cindy Dunn on March 26, 2015My mother would love the daisy wall hanging.

I only tried to appliqué by hand once, it turned out looking horrible and ended up in the bin. There weren’t any good instructional books in Sweden and I sort of had to figure it out by myself. This one try didn’t work out well and I wasn’t going to try it again. But now, many years later I see all these lovely project and feel the urge to try again and Pat’s new book must be just what I need to get going. It looks like a sweet!

—Doris Worthen on March 27, 2015I truly love your inspirational ideas fabrics and Aurifil threads. I’ve done some appliqué work and love seeing Pat’s projects esp with the Moda fabric line.

—Pam Peterson on March 27, 2015I have tried all three kinds of applique, but don’t do hand because it looks like a 5 year old did it. Sorry 5 year olds. My machine applique is ok. Fusible applique is the easiest for me. You new book looks awesome and could really improve my skills.

—Nancy on March 27, 2015I’ve used all three but prefer hand stitching as I’ve never felt I was accomplished enough on machine applique. I feel I have more control by hand — so I obviously need Pat’s help to learn to do it by machine and be happy about it. Thanks.
—Melanie Truesdale on March 27, 2015I have used all 3 kinds of applique in the past but usually I use some fusible and then do machine applique.

Thanks for the giveaway opportunity!

—Carolyn Faircloth on March 27, 2015I have only hand appliqued on a sampler quilt when I first began to quilt. Since then I have mostly pieced quilt tops because it is like a puzzle to me. Each piece that is put on it changes the look of it and motivates me to keep going until the picture is done! Would love to receive one of the prize packages to try your simpler applique technique. Thank you.
—Donna Brown on March 27, 2015I’ve never tried any,but I would love too.
—Alta on March 27, 2015I have also done all 3 kinds of applique. I think I like the fusible one the best though.

—Renee Tarpy on March 27, 2015I have done some hand applique. Would love to try machine next.
—Teresa Brown on March 27, 2015I have tried all three methods, but worried about the machine quilting’s ability to last without coming apart, especially after being laundered, so went back to hand quilting. Sounds like I need to read this book for Pat’s pointers!
—Cynthia Helms on March 27, 2015I have tried all three ! I am constantly searching for tips and tricks that make it easier and more beautiful. I just ordered her book!! Can’t wait to get it ( and she said if I win, she’ll sign it! ).

—cj on March 27, 2015I have tried all three but have not been thrilled with the results. Your book looks wonderful!

Thanks for the great giveaways.
—Moira on March 27, 2015I have read the majority of posts here and really feel for whomever needs to pick from them 🙂 , I taught sewing many years ago to some 4-H girls and it was very rewarding but applique was not a part of it. I did my first big hand applique with a king size Sunbonnet Sue, 30 blocks done while keeping an eye on my youngest granddaughter learning to swim, in between the ‘look at me, memaw’ but as to machine, fusible applique, I have done some of it but have not acquired the joy to doing it yet. I see a lot of quilt block patterns, but it looks like more work than if I just make a pieced block. Since I very seldom win items, mostly because I never enter, I will give it a lot of consideration and purchase Pat’s new book and look forward to the rest of her series.
—Helen M Poole on March 27, 2015I would to master all types of application’s. That I can make fantastic quilts pass on.

—Barbie K on March 27, 2015Oh, I’ve tried all methods and love them all 🙂 Hand one for the "on the go" machine one for the fast now along with fusible … so much fun but loving your method of fusible, less fusing 🙂 I do it the old way of using the whole piece, looks like your’s would be less bulky and save too
—Lise on March 27, 2015I usually do raw-edge fusible applique and like that method. It’s quick and easy.

—Alesha K on March 27, 2015I would love to Learn more about ALL of the techniques, I have always been intimidated, but I have small grandchildren and I feel these would be wonderful to treasure for years! My daughter and I also make blankets that we give to children in the hospital so they can take with them and find some reassurance when they are alone, also they parents seem very grateful and lets them know people care! I look forward to always expanding my horizons, but can use all the help I can get! Thanks!

—Gale on March 27, 2015I have only tried hand applique once as a very "green" quilter. It was a BOM and I had no idea what I was doing. Even though nothing came out straight, stitches were done backwards, and looked like a small child had done it, I love, love LOVE this quilt! It looks very rustic and my two daughters are fighting over it. Last year, when expecting my first grandson, I machine appliqued a quilt with bear heads on it for him. It is so adorable. I am still a novice, but I figure the only way to learn is to just jump in and try. Even though my quilts are far from being show quality, they could not be filled with more love. Can’t wait to see how my next one turns out.
—Debbie on March 27, 2015I have not done any applique on quilts. I’ve done it for crafting but would love to learn how to add this technique to my quilting knowledge. I am a beginner.

—Fran Sancroft on March 27, 2015I am entering this contest from the Frozen North… Pickering, Ontario, Canada….
I have done Applique with all three methods. On a sampler quilt I appliqued butterfly wings – Tricky curves and slippery fabric – not cotton!
Sometimes when doing applique it is easier to just hand sew it around the edges ie needleturn. I did this on several quilt blocks for a client.
So, here’s hoping…
Love your stuff, Pat. You are so inspiring!

—Hope Burr on March 28, 2015I learned to applique years ago – my mother taught me back in the day when each applique was surrounded by black blanket stitches, by hand. Now I have done many variations on that from needle turn on Hawaiian blocks to raw edge on Pearl’s Blooming Floral. I would love to have the book to see how many things I am doing incorrectly. I do love applique.
—Stephanie Scaramelli on March 28, 2015I have tried all applique techniques on small projects. Love the possibilities when working with applique.
—Georg on March 28, 2015Never have I ever had any success with needle turn applique. Probably because I have to stitch with the needle point working towards myself. The demonstrators/instructors give up because I am incapable of stitching as they do.
I am right handed but sewing stitches around an applique piece the way it has been demonstrated several times is very bothersome.
Perhaps using fusible applique will not make a difference which way I point my needle.
A new interest i.e. fusible applique may be a turning point for me to conquer

So I’m excited about this new method and would love to learn more. Winning the bundle would also be exciting. Thanks for the info.
—Karen Thurn on March 29, 2015I have done lots of machine appliqué, mostly using an iron on. I also love to do machine embroidery appliqué. Frayed edges is also fun.

—Erdna Pummell on March 29, 2015Oh my oh my goodness, I love the Aurifil Threads, I started the threads 2 mths ago & sew beautifully on my quilt. I never thought about Appliqué by the machine. I will have to get Pat Sloan to teach me how to sew with Appliqués by the machine with Aurifil threads. The pictures that Pat made are very stunning colourful. Moda’s fabrics are lovely feeling silk & soft.
I will be buying / using her book & make things to sell for Donate.
Thank you so much & good luck all.
Erdna Pummell.
I have tried all of them. I am always looking for new tricks and shortcuts to make things go smother and faster.

—Pauline Stewart on March 29, 2015I made 1 wool candle mat with pins and hand applique while on a family vacation. Loved it! And I just completed 7 orange peel blocks for a quilt along using fusible web and machine piecing. I can’t wait to browse through Pat’s new book!
—Charlene on March 29, 2015I would be so happy to win this book. I hand applique with wool but would love to learn to machine applique!!
—maureen bitto on March 29, 2015I’ve tried wool applique, and just recently tried machine applique. Not real good at it yet, but I’m gonna keep practicing.
—Billie Jo Harlan on March 29, 2015I have done hand,machine, and fusible. I enjoy all three.
—Linette Stewart on March 29, 2015I have done a very little bit of needle turn applique and a bit of fusible. I loved the results and look forward to doing even more applique!
—Sue Ewing on March 29, 2015I have done fusible as well as machine (usually combined together!). I LOVE Pat Sloan!

—Sandi craven on March 29, 2015I do fusible applique but recently a friend showed me how to machine applique which I have yet to try by myself. I have tried needle turn applique but not had a lot of success as I don’t really know what I’m doing. Pat is a real inspiration x
—Melanie on March 29, 2015I love to do fusible applique with a machine blanket stitch. I’ve done years of hand embroidery and needlepoint so I enjoy using my sewing machine on applique for quilts.
—barb scott on March 29, 2015I think that I tried hand applique once about 20 years ago. Then I gave up quilting until around a year ago. So many NEW things to learn taht I haven’t gotten back around to applique yet.
—Marsha T on March 29, 2015I have done hand appliqué, fusible appliqué, machine appliqué and freezer paper appliqué. My least favorite is hand appliqué. I titled my first and only hand appliqué flower basket "Never Again".
—Mary D'Amico on March 29, 2015I have done all 3 kinds of applique. Mostly I do machine applique since I have hand and other medical problems. I also like to do machine embroidery applique. It allows a very nice finish.
—Louise on March 29, 2015I just finished a wall hanging that used 16 different applique methods, including machine and hand sewn. I personally love applique any way I can add it to a project.
—Char Baker on March 29, 2015Love applique mostly done iron on machine edged

—Jeanette on March 30, 2015Many thanks for giving me the opportunity to learn more.

I love the way applique mixes with pieced blocks and have tried many different ways. I like the portability of hand work and right now I am doing reverse applique to frame some blocks that I hand embroidered. I like the speed that machine stitched fused applique gives me. Pat is a great teacher and I know I will learn something from her book.
—Irene on March 30, 2015I find it very difficult to machine applique, it never looks right, and hand piecing is time consuming, so it seems. I am time poor. But I’d give it a go. Thanks anyway,
—Marisa J on March 30, 2015MarisaJ 30.03.15
I do machine applique and I am still trying to improve.
—cathy k on March 30, 2015I have tried all three, but my go-to preferred method is hand appliqué as it is portable.
—Heather J on March 30, 2015I have tried all three methods of applique.
—Dee D on March 30, 2015I love applique!! I’m pretty good at hand applique, however like most people–There’s ALWAYS room for improvement!!Love Pat’s "VACATION TIME"! I’m sure she has all kinds of useful info for applique! Let the adventure begin!!
—sand sikora on March 30, 2015I’ve tried them all but still have problems perfecting my machine applique so the stitching is smooth and even. Practice, practice, practice I hope will make it better!
—Mary Smith on March 30, 2015LOVE…Pats designs! I have an earlier book of Pats I would love to have her sign it. Maybe someday. Keep giving us great designs and books!
—sue babcock on March 30, 2015I have done all three…am currently working on a hand applique project, and have a few more in the queue!
—Rebecca on March 30, 2015I’ve done all kinds of machine applique. I’m always interested in every expert’s applique techniques. I very much enjoy Pat Sloan’s approach to free motion quilting and her colorful designs.
—Cindy on March 30, 2015I have tried all three types of appliqué but machine appliqué is my favorite method. It’s fast and easy!
—Judy Ballance on March 30, 2015I have tried all three applique methods. I love the look of hand applique, but it is too slow for me & my hands get tired. The stiff look of fusible is always disappointing. The prep work for machine applique seems to take so long. I guess I need an expert to teach me how to properly applique so that I can appreciate all methods.
—marlene on March 30, 2015I have tried all three but only in small projects. i love them all. does take practice to get better at it.
—Linda Evans on March 30, 2015I like needleturn and have used fusible web with button hole stitch, but I have not tried machine applique. Would love to learn how to do that. Would like to learn it the proper way.
—Yvonne on March 30, 2015Would love this colorful book and its tips!
—Lee Green on March 31, 2015I use hand, machine, and fusible appliqué methods.
