I have only tried applique a few times with some limited success, maybe I was being mean with the thread instead of thrifty!Sum of their Storieshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06331115807411036472noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1498056513224128577.post-25510801757450180512013-12-13T15:56:43.048+00:002013-12-13T15:56:43.048+00:00I stopped snipping my bobbin thread in between let...I stopped snipping my bobbin thread in between letter appliqué when I'm stitching them onto a pillowcase!

It's best for seams when you are going to be stitching across them at some point - not for seams that might unravel.
