Sewing Applique Blocks

Date Posted:30 April 2024 

Sewing Applique Blocks main image

This is the second block we will be asking you to create for the Flowers in the Sun Community project. This block is stitched entirely with your sewing machine and we share tips and tricks to create a beautiful applique block.

Starting with fabric preparation to working with Hot Melt Web, we guide you through tracing, cutting, fusing and sewing the different elements that make up your sewing machine applique block. These blocks will form an element in a quilt that will be pieced together as part of our Flowers in the Sun community project.

Products used

To join this project, we kindly request the purchase of the design pack, which includes all design files intended for use in the project. All proceeds from the purchase of this product throughout the 2024 calendar year will be donated to the Australian Melanoma Research Foundation.


Background fabric requirements

During each demonstration, we will provide the products used to create each block. If you're sending in your contribution, please use any solid blue shade for the background fabric and ensure the final fabric block is 12" x 12" to allow us to trim the blocks as needed. We just ask that you centre the design on the block as best as you can.

In addition to the above we also used a pencil and a bobbin would with matching top thread.

Echidna project material/ fabric requirements are an indication only and can seem to be generous. This has been intentional. Should you make a cutting or embroidery mistake you will have sufficient fabric to rectify your error.
