One quilt lover shares her passion for quilting with a wonderfully informative site based upon her 10+ years of teaching others how to quilt. From basic techniques to the advanced and a fully illustrated tutorial on making T-shirt quilts, this site has something for all experience levels. Applique Quilting Crafty Tip
To make a nice crisp edge around round applique pieces, cut out a cardboard guide that is 1/4 inch smaller than your fabric pieces. Sew a running stitch around the piece 1/8 from the edge of the fabric. Lay the cardboard on the wrong side of the fabric and pull the running stitch to make the fabric gather around the cardboard. Iron the seam. Remove the cardboard and sew your applique piece to your quilt.
