Needle-turn appliqué is a form of appliqué where as the fabric shape is applied to the background, the edges are turned under using the sewing needle and then hand-stitched down, encasing the raw edges under the applied shape. This is in contrast to other forms of appliqué such as raw-edge appliqué or fused appliqué.

Angela Grace’s first quilt was started when she was 18, given away unfinished when she was 22, gotten back when she was 34 and finished when she was 39. Now that Angela makes quilts in significantly less time, she’s on a mission to make quilting simple so that new quilters can be creative. When she is not hanging out on the internet you can find her quilting, gardening, reading, or, most frequently, daydreaming.
