Dawn has been a quiltmaker since the 1970’s but in the 1980’s she was challenged by her Belgian students to teach them a way to “hand applique on the sewing machine”! Using no bonding products, any multi stitch sewing machine and easily sourced products, Dawn created Invisible Machine Applique. Once learned you will invisibly applique any shape, bias stem, curve or even mitre your borders! Dawn’s written two books on the technique and has taught it all over the world. Dawn is known for educating on the use of appropriate threads and needles for the very best results.

It was enjoyable, informative and fun and to have available to watch again is excellent value and a fantastic way to learn a technique. Dawn has a very personable and interesting way of presenting the material and I learned so much from this webinar.

Well structured and paced; the extra tips for this technique (which is new to me) were very helpful. This is my first virtual quilting/sewing class and I look forward to the next one.
