Reverse applique gives a unique, dimensional look to your quilted piece! The design is created in the background fabric peeking out of the top fabric. When you do it by machine, it takes no time at all. 

Learn the quick and easy steps in Eye of the Beholder’s Trace, Snip, Iron and Stitch process to machine reverse applique, and get pointers on how to satin stitch like a pro. We will perfect our satin stitch techniques using the Practice Pattern first, learning tips for getting smooth curves and sharp inside and outside points, which will prepare you to create our block. See the beauty of the 9” Reverse Applique block, Block 1 or 2, for Yorkshire Pudding table runner XII (14” x 32”) revealed as you stitch. Come be empowered as you make Block 1 or 2! Make it in chocolate brown and butterscotch yellow as our original, green and tan as the remake or re- imagine it in your colors.  Learn with others and experience the fun and beauty of reverse appliqué by hand.
