I'm a little embarrassed to post this since I'm a beginner, but I'm pretty happy to have finished this table runner. This is my very first attempt at free motion quilting! I'm not very experienced with applique either, but I do like the 3D effect from the dense quilting around the shapes.
I am wondering though, does anyone have advice for transferring the pattern to the fabric? I used tracing paper, but it was very hard to see the lines on the dark blue, and it wore off easily. I've used iron on designs before and that worked great on light fabrics, but what do you use on a dark background?
I think this is awfully cute! It’s nice to see a spring design when the days are so short and gray.
I’m about to start my second appliqué project, but I think I’ll hold off until I can read some of the advice I’m hoping you’ll get in the comments!
