I came up with the idea for continuous line machine appliqué while I was playing with my original machine quilting designs. I created the designs using Electric Quilt software and, on a whim, I colored the designs to came up with what I thought were interesting appliqué designs. My first CLA designs used full size freezer paper patterns but I later found it just as easy to trace the design onto fusible web. One of the cool things about this method is that you can cut once to make 2 blocks or rows.
