Strip Piecing and
Applique with Fusible Web
The fusible web method is different than the fusible interfacing method. Fusible web has a paper backing and is ironed to the WRONG side of the fabric. The “shape” of the applique is then cut out. The paper is then removed from the applique piece. The applique is ironed on to another piece of fabric on the quilt. Then the edges of the applique are sewn to the quilt. The applique can be sewn with a narrow zig zag stitch, a simple straight stitch, a satin stitch, the blanket stitch or some other decorative stitch that you may have on your sewing machine.
