Now to beg for more — how do you make an invisible knot inside the fabric, to tie-off the appliqué. Inherited an unfinished Hawaiian quilt, started the echo stitching, came to the end of the thread and… uh-oh, how does one make a knot INSIDE the batting?

Any help (above what you’ve already done) is greatly appreciated.

Thanks again!

Once I finish that appliqued shape and then attach it to the background fabric it’s pretty easy to remove that paper (see diagrams at blog).

There is another method in which you cut out your applique shape, pin it to the background fabric, then attach it my using your needle to turn under the edges. As you turn the edges you also stitch them.

I hope this isn’t to confussing.
