Appli-bond Needles

Joan Shay (Petal Play) is an award winning quilter from Cape Cod, Mass. She has developed a new applique technique Appli-bond. If you want to create realistic 3-D flowers, birds and fish easily and simply, then this is the technique for you.  Appli-bond is the fusing together of two layers of fabric, thus eliminating the need to turn under allowances or finish the edges. Once you have fused the fabric you cut out the motifs and then applique these to your background with decorative embroidery stitches. Surprisingly these quilts are washable! 

Joan is the author of Petal by PetalPetal Play the Traditional Way and 3 Quilters Celebrate the 4 Seasons  published by AQS. She has appeared on Quilting From the Heartland and Simply Quilts. Joan has published articles in The American Quilter, Miniature Quilts, Quilting is Hot, Quilting Today and Patchwork & Quilting in the United Kingdom. She travels nationally and internationally teaching at guilds, conferences and shops.
