Sue's busy again, this time in the garden. Coats & Clark provides the specialty threads for the quick machine appliqué and quilting.

Planning
We provide a placement diagram so you can easily position appliqué fabrics. To make the center block that is facing left, simply flip the placement diagram over to achieve the reverses that we call for. Fusible web and machine stitched edges make the appliqué especially quick to complete. Michele used Wonder Under® by Pellon® for fusing. Wood buttons were made by JHB International.
