Check out this website that basically explains the idea. http://www.quilt-lovers-guide.com/dryer-sheet-applique.html<br><br>I don't hand sew it on, I just use a 1/8" straight stitch, a ribbon stitch, or a hem stitch (I think thats what it's called)<br><br>Anyhow, try it out. It works really well. You need to make sure that you use a used dryer sheet though. <br><br>I also really like the frayed applique look. It's by far my favorite. You just cut out your fabric and sew at 1/4" and leave the edges to fray. Looks really cute.<br><br>Good luck and happy sewing :)The Dye'shttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06985509907608896816noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8625465967728083636.post-6085794967724545942010-07-21T21:32:53.238-06:002010-07-21T21:32:53.238-06:00tricky, not superneat - all translates into an ADO...tricky, not superneat - all translates into an ADORABLE shirt/onesie!
