Specifying it
Before you choose this technique
What to send us
Artwork, appliqué fabric choices (or ask us to propose them), the edge finish such as satin, zigzag or raw edge, placement and size.
Fabric and construction
The appliqué fabric is matched to the base fabric for shrinkage and colour fastness and confirmed on the sample.
Good to know
Very small pieces and intricate cut-outs add cost and handling; raw-edge finishes are designed to fray softly.
