Butterfly Bliss

Product Information

Simply a delightful design for you to appliqué. Instructions are provided
for blanket stitch, or ‘Sketchy Appliqué’. Sketchy appliqué gives your work
dimension. With the feed dogs on your machine down, simply think of the
needle as a pencil outlining the shapes and sketching in the detail lines.
Forget about the mental block when you think about stipple quilting, as there
is no such thing as perfection when it comes to sketchy appliqué.
