Helpful Supplies
For accurate and reliable appliqué results, we recommend Heat n Bond Lite fusible web, which provides clean edges and secure bonding without stiffness. We also recommend Isacord Polyester Thread, which offers a beautiful, durable finish suitable for decorative work. For most appliqué embroidery, we would recommend a sharp pointed needle size 75/11 or possibly 80/12.
Your AccuQuilt dies offer extraordinary value, and the complimentary embroidery designs extend that value even further. The embroidery designs do more than enhance the appearance of your work. They secure the raw edges of your appliqué neatly and add the polished finish that transforms a handmade project into something to be treasured.
When you are ready to broaden your creative range, the V Stitch designs collection offers endless inspiration.
