Class Preview
Give your heirloom projects a French, hand-sewn look, all with the ease of your machine. Susan Stewart returns to follow up her popular class on heirloom essentials with even more techniques for appliqué, custom fabric-covered piping, French seams and more. If you’d love to create pieces that will be handed down for generations, this class is the perfect place to start.
Bridging Rickrack to Entredeux & Lace
Meet Susan Stewart and start by learning how to prepare narrow rickrack with water-soluble stabilizer. Then, join your rickrack to lace with precision zigzag stitching, or join it to entredeux for curved edges.
Bias Appliqué
Cut bias strips from fabric and get comfortable using a bias tape tool. Susan shows you how to interweave the strips in an over-under pattern to create an appliqué. And you’ll explore Susan’s favorite combination of linen bias strips on a batiste base layer.
Transparent Reverse Appliqué
Discover the transparent reverse appliqué technique of creating a shaped fabric “window” with an intriguing faced edge. Then, stitch a sheer fabric layer into the window. Plus, find out how to adapt this technique for a sheer edge treatment that’s perfect for skirt hems.
Straight & Curved Puffing
Susan shows you how to gather strips, or puffing, and join them to entredeux and lace. You’ll also learn how to create perpendicular gathers, even in curved shapes.
Tiny Piping
Create tiny piping that’s custom-covered with your fabric, and insert it into seams without showing your stitching. Then, discover how easy it is to add double piping in two colors!
Seam Finishes & Bias Bindings
Make your garments beautiful inside and out with exquisite seam finishes. And find out how Susan creates rolled and French seams, and create clean, elegant edges with bias binding.
