APPLIQUE
In applique, the units instead of being pieced together, are whip-stitched in place on a solid-color block to form the design. Sometimes both patchwork and applique are combined to form a design such as a flower. The petals of a tulip may be made in patchwork to form a block, then the stems ancl leaves are appliqued in place an this block to complete the motif.
Patterns:
The units are made and the seam allowances are pressed back in the same manner as for Patchwork (see page 7) under "How to Make a Pattern" and “How to Cut Pieces". There is one thing to remember though — when cutting applique units, it is necessary to clip in well to the fold an curves so that the units will lie flat when stitched in place. When making a flower design, the stems are usually made by cutting bias strips 1 1/2” inches wide.
