It is.. the stitches you are seeing are basting stitches.. those come out when you get the little "invisible" ones in the edges of the pieces done.

Great job Tippy. Love meeting another appliquer:) I just learned a new method and love it. Too bad I cant explain like you did.

I'm trying to improve my applique skills & this is a great tute! Thank you. I've been working on some blocks which have stems (like flower stems) that are quite narrow and I'm having trouble with the turned under part due to the fact that I can only turn under about 1/8" on each side or they will overlap & you can see it. Any helpful suggestions would be greatly appreciated. I can't really continue the block until I get the stems done & I've been at it for a couple of weeks now.

Thank You. I always wanted to applique. It is the first quilts I check out at any quilt shows. Are you able to turn under smaller pieces or do you have another tip up your sleeve. I'm a better hands on learner, then a book learner and you explained wonderfully with your pictures.
