What yarns do you use in applique?
There are different types of applique. One type of applique involves sewing a small shape of fabric, such as a flower, onto another piece of fabric. Some quilts are made this way, and applique is also sometimes used on garments. In this case, you do not use "yarn", but thread. You may applique (sew) the piece on by hand, or by machine. In some cases, people use embroidery floss and sew a button-hole stitch or other decorative stitch around the applique. In some cases, you might consider certain types of crocheted decorations to be applique. An example of this might be when you crochet an animal-shape and then attach it to a crocheted baby afghan. In this case, you would probably use the same yarn with which you crocheted the animal or other shape. I hope this helps you.

What is raw edge applique?
Traditional applique is done by turning under the edges of the fabric to be appliqued onto the background fabric before stitching. Or you can satin stitch over the edge of the applique fabric to attach it to the background. Raw edge applique is done by cutting the applique fabric to the exact size of the piece. A double-faced fusible webbing (Steam-A-Seam 2 is one of the brands available) is then ironed onto the back of the applique piece, the paper backing is removed and the applique is then ironed into place. There is no fabric turned under. You can complete a raw edge project with no stitching on the applique.

What is the purpose of bondaweb applique?
Bondaweb is a very useful material for making applique. On one side it is made of paper and the other is like a web of glue. It will not become sticky until it is heated by an iron or a press. You can draw on the paper side whatever shape you want your applique to be ( it must be a mirror image). Then using an iron or press you can glue the bondaweb to the back of your chosen piece of fabric. Now cut around the applique shape you drew. Then peel off the paper and place the shape glue side down onto another piece of fabric. Then iron the two fabrics down so that they bond together. There is no need for pins. You now can either leave it as it is or you can sew around it. The bondaweb also helps the applique shape to fray less.
