To trim or not... that is the question? I am appliquing rather large leaves (approximately 5" x 11") on a large (16") pieced block. This question can also apply to all of Kim's blocks as there are some areas of large applique. Do you trim to within a quarter-inch on the back side of your applique or maybe an inch or do you maybe just snip as I have been doing or even not make any cuts or snips on the back. Up to this point in time, I have never trimmed because I thought it would weaken everything and I am paranoid about my applique coming off although it is so tight I cant even take out all the stitches of my applique.
So what do you do? (alberta)
