Sew Inspired by Bonnie’s Tuesday’s Tip: “Free-Standing Applique With GlitterFlex!”
The idea for this segment comes from Debbie Henry who wrote the cover article for DIME Magazine's 2017 holiday issue (Ice Skate Ornaments). Using Debbie's concept, I'll show you how to take an ordinary applique and turn it into an extraordinary free-standing design. Use it for ornaments, package labels/tags, etc.
