**if you prefer to try this class by hand, you're welcome to!
Join the fun! Be empowered!
This is a playful, creative design workshop. Discover multiple ways to fold and cut paper to explore medallion design possibilities to create your own 12" applique or reverse applique mini medallion pattern. Then you’ll transfer your design onto fabric so you can bring it to life in living color by machine reverse applique. Learn our easy 4-step Trace, Snip, Iron & Stich method and refine your machine satin stitching, too. Plus, we’ll discuss design considerations and resizing options along this creative journey.
Kit fee included in the cost of the workshop. It will be delivered the first day of class. Hand-outs: 2 page-Design Considerations; 1 page-How-to Machine reverse applique; 2 page-Helpful Blogs and Tutorials; 3 page-Tips to Successfully Machine Reverse Applique; Eye of the Beholder tote bag.
If you want to learn a bit about this technique before the workshop, check out our Tutorials section on the website: Machine Reverse Appliqué with Appli-Quilting tutorial.
See below for downloadable Workshop preparation/materials list and Pre-cutting list. It’s essential that you pre-cut as there will not be time in the workshop to do this, so this will help us make best use of our time together. All links open in a new window.
There are required Materials that must be purchased in addition to the workshop.

Hand-polished and with soft ergonomic grip handles, Kai Scissors are made in Japan of fine stainless steel with vanadium. These scissors are specially balanced to allow for fatigue-free cutting on all types of fabrics. Hardened stainless steel blades offer superior cutting action.
4 inch, bent handled scissors with sharp points. Allowed by most airlines when you travel.
My scissor of choice for Machine Reverse Applique. Super sharp, detailed tips are perfect for cutting fused material without dulling. They poke cleanly into your fused material with ease. The bent-handle keeps your cutting hand off your work allowing you to have great control and visibility to cut precisely into corners and along drawn lines.
They are also fabulous for Hardanger, cutwork and cutting out buttonholes, as well as removing satin stitches from embroidery designs.
