APPLIQUE
This page is dedicated to books that will teach you the various methods to applique. There is a huge spectrum there - hand applique using buttonhole, satin, or blind hem stitch, reverse applique, machine applique, shadow applique, invisible applique, Mola, stained glass, broderie perse, and trapunto are the one I can think of off the top of my head. There are all sorts of amazing books for this art. There are types of quilts that rely so heavily on applique that they are famous for it - like Hawaiian or Baltimore quilts. Since Hawaiian and Baltimore quilts already have their own pages in the bibliography, I have not listed them here. I tried to focus more on books that focus on teaching the various methods than on the projects that can be made with them. I'm going to make mistakes - feel free to correct me. I maintain that I'm not perfect - but I am perfectable.
Anyone with more information to share, corrections to make, or has books and magazines to donate or sell, can contact me
through My Contact Page.
