Description
Appliqué in reverse is quick to learn and easy to perfect with Teri Henderson Tope’s clear and methodical instructions. The class project is an Asian-inspired carnation that requires only three small pieces of fabric and a needle and thread to get started. After marking and basting, begin to sew gentle curves using a simple “swish” of the needle as demonstrated by Teri.
You’ll learn how to make inside and outside points as well as how to begin and end so the stitching doesn’t pull out or show through. She explains how to finish the carnation with either hand quilting or machine free-motion quilting. Teri also provides instructions on how to use appliqué in reverse to make monogram letters appear to float off the background fabric.
Complete instructions for a bonus monogram quilt are included with this class. Teri’s appliqué in reverse techniques create needle-turned projects that have that professional, embossed look every time, so sign up now to learn all of her tips for making your reverse appliqué beautiful.
For your convenience, this class can be purchased for online viewing or purchased on DVD.

What Wonderful tips!! As the description said, I had several “Aha” moments. I had done raw edge applique, have recently been trying edge turning applique, and now really look forward to trying reverse applique. I very much enjoy applique but would not have attempted reverse application without your very clear and understandable instructions.

This course offers easy-to-understand and comprehensive reverse applique instructions. It is interactive, with the ability to ask questions. The videos for the seven lessons are engaging and clear.
Teri emphasizes important points such as marking and basting. There is a helpful downloadable materials list, and I love the many practical tips Teri provides! She offers a whole new meaning to the word “swish” that I will hear her saying in my future applique adventures!
The demonstration of adding a second color and especially of making good points on leaves will be very helpful to me. And I really like having a visual of both hand and machine quilting.

This was a great class! I’ve done other methods of applique before, but I was always intimidated by reverse applique. I feel like I can use what I learned in this class to really advance my applique to a higher level. Teri has innovative ideas for how to use reverse applique in quilts, and I was introduced to some new tools that will make all the difference. I feel like I have the inside track now, without a lot of trial and error on my part to find the best tools. I really appreciated the close up filming of the techniques; that’s so important with handwork. I’m really excited about reverse applique now!

Wow! Your class was just what I needed! Thank you so much for the clear and concise directions. I especially liked the clipping tips, threading the needle off the spool, and working with inside and outside corners. Your tips on lettering and hiding the shadows was also great to know. I promise to upload my first project once it’s completed. I have your book on Reverse Applique too and think I might start with that cute bee. Thanks again!
