Sunflower Potholders: Machine Reverse Applique
All Levels - 3 hours
All times are Local: 1 - 4 pm
Location: Lebanon Valley Expo Center
Workshop: Sunflower Potholders: Machine Reverse Applique
Let the sunshine into your kitchen with Sunflowers. Learn machine reverse applique as you make a Sunflower Swirl potholder (8” x 8”). You’ll learn Eye of the Beholder’s Trace, Snip, Iron & Stitch method with Appli-quilting that quilts-as-you-go! As we create, we’ll look at the satin-stitch technique to grow in consistency and confidence, so you’ll have graceful curves, and sharp points without “xes”. Join the fun and let Margaret share with you how. Don’t want to make a potholder? Make a Mug Rug instead.
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 Preparation 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. The fee for these materials is included in your class fee.
Optional Fabric Kits available: If you’d like us to select your materials for you, you can also choose to buy an optional fabric kit put together by us perfectly to suit the design and style.

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.
