Applique! Applique!! Applique!!!: The Complete Guide to Hand Applique

I'd tried applique for the first time using Ami Simms's Invisible Applique, and although that wasn't entirely an unsuccessful attempt, I put down applique as something that was just not for me--it was hard and my first few tries were messy. But Sinema's Applique Applique Applique was amazing--I bought it and the light turned on. My first attempt after reading her book was an amazing success--perfect! Her descriptions and patterns are fantastic, and she fully explains decorative stitches as well as the applique stitch with careful diagrams. And the inclusion of many different types of applique, as well as many types of projects--was exactly what I needed. This is the ULTIMATE applique book!

This is a great book if you are interested in learning different applique techniques. I think that it is clearly written and easy to understand. The patterns are full size and easy to use for many of the applique pieces. There are many different styles and patterns to choose from. A great "basics" book.
