Reverse Applique
Decorate your projects using a new technique! You can complete this reverse appliqué project with machine stitching, or you can add hand stitching for extra embellishment. In this class you’ll also learn the steps for making a lined tote bag with a flat bottom.
Reverse Applique is an applique technique. In traditional applique, the design to be appliqued is placed on top of the background fabric and sewn in place. For reverse applique, the fabric is layered and the top fabric is cut away and stitched in place to reveal the design.
