Easy Breezy Tutorial – Satin Applique
Tutorial Time… What is satin applique and how do you stitch it? Stitching satin appliques is really simple. The design files can vary by digitizer but I try to be consistent on ours. Occasionally I will move a detail to the beginning of a design but normally I place fabrics first. It allows me to move on to other fabric prep, hooping, running another machine, etc in that stretch of time I get for the rest of that design’s stitching.

It’s Face Time…

Princess Life…
With three granddaughters princesses are a must around here. Like most of our designs I encourage you to switch things up and use your imagination. A lot of these can be changed in coloring and fabrics to fit a multitude of popular princesses. For example, check out our Viking inspired princess, Princess 8. We stitched her in a red dress with black hair instead of the normal green with red hair. Now she looks a lot like a Spanish princess instead. Just pick your favorites and make them work for your favorite movie night, or everyday #princesslife. Browse our Princess Life designs for your favorite… Enjoy!Cheryl
