Bended Bias Applique

Bended Bias is an exciting embellishment that can be added to appliquéd or pieced quilts wherever you like. Quilters will appreciate the step-by-step instructions for making and using Bended Bias and will be inspired by the beautiful quilt samples showing the versatility of the technique. Patterns for more than two dozen appliqué flowers are included, with suggestions for where you might place Bended Bias on the flowers. Other Patterns, in Linda's signature style, include butterflies, a dragonfly, hummingbirds and other designs. Bias tape is easily made by cutting a bias strip from a piece of fabric and running it through a bias-tape maker, a simple little tool found wherever notions are sold. For striking effect, Bended Bias can be made from contrasting fabric. Consider, for instance, the possibility of making bias tape from a wild tiger pint and using it to edge an appliquéd tiger lily.Poole, Linda M. is the author of 'Bended Bias Applique', published 2001 under ISBN 9781574328530 and ISBN 1574328530.
