This came at a great time. I was wanting to make a towel for my neighbor that takes care of our mail when away. So I thought I would try it. This was my first applique! It was easier than I anticipated. I don't have applique scissors so that part was difficult, therefore I had one area that didn't get quite get stitched over. If doing it again I would use the rust color for the lettering. The yellow fabric has various shades in it.

The design is from here, Cute Emb. It was the freebie today and I think yesterday. Just click on the applique tab and you will see it. One of the members posted a challenge and this is the design that was choosen for it. Now and then there is a project suggested and members volunteer to participate.
Thank you sew very much, Joy

That's very pretty. I've never done applique. I'm afraid to.
4 comments
I was afraid also. Looked like too much work. It did take a lot time triming. But if you don't get it close the edges show. It takes more time because of the process.
I always use wss under the applique, that way it's easier to cut back the material without damaging the towel (or fleece or whatever).
Great idea! Thank you. I will have to try that. Yes, I had to be very careful not to get the sharp point caught in the fabric below.
Thank you Mops - a great tip.
