No, you'd do the blanket stitch <em>as the appliqué stitch</em>, if that makes sense. (If it doesn't, I'd be delighted - nay, overjoyed - to give you an in-person tutorial some time.) @Mollydot: Ooh, good question!

I assume you do that before appliqué-ing (is there a better way of writing that?), so I could always cuts out another piece of felt if it doesn't work.

I've seen your boat drawing, and I think it'd look great. Felt would be perfect for it, too. Can you do blanket stitch? That can make a really pretty edge on felt appliqué pieces. @Tracy: I'm grinning at the idea that I've been <em>brave</em> ... although now I think of it, if I'd messed up my background fabric that would've been a bit of a disaster! Eep! Let's say it didn't seem brave at the time :-) @Mollydot: Go you! I’ve seen your boat drawing, and I think it’d look great. Felt would be perfect for it, too. Can you do blanket stitch?

I like combining applique with embroidery on small pieces but have never been brave enough to try reverse applique. Looking forward to seeing more of this piece as it progresses. Very intriguing!

I have a simple boat drawing that I did for silk painting. I think I'll try applique-ing it. Maybe with felt so I don't have to worry about turnunders (I have sewing fear) You’ve inspired me.
