I have several of those Fiskars scissors for Applique and snip threads. I have them at every machine and my travel kit. I hang a pair on my neck when I see.
Just an add on - I have appliquéd for years, connecting with Sue Spurge and wool appliqué in early 2000's. I have never found pins as good as the Karen Kay Buckley 'Perfect Pins' both sizes... most of my cotton appliqué is with batik fabrics - the pins are wonderful! They bend fairly easy - like curve, but they are easy to bend back. I'm about 5 years in and I've only had to throw a couple out due to burrs. I also use the Fiskars scissors - mostly because if I fly they can come with me and also because I don't mind cutting freezer paper with them.
Hi! Just found your channel and love your ideas. Thank you for sharing. Would you mind sharing the names and authors of the two books you showed? Both looked interesting. 🙏🏼❤️
Sorry, I just saw your comment. The first book is Homegrown by Sue Spargo. (you can purchase that from my website.) The second book is the Left Handed Embroiders Companion by Yvette Stanton.
Is your iron hot enough? It should stick if your iron setting is hot. I don’t use wool felt myself. I use felted wool. Felted wool is a woven material….wool felt is not. There is a difference between the two.
I just found your post and it’s very helpful. I am getting into wool appliqué.
Great job in explaining all these tools........there are a few tools I don't have and now I need them.........Thanks Beth...........

I love all of these too, especially the Karen Kay Buckley scissors!

Very helpful
sounds expensive to have binding done. l'm just starting out so thank you for this video. cheers
Really enjoyed this, I also love the Clove hot pressing tool. It was interesting to see how you improvised with the manila folder, great idea.
Thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed it. I am working on part 2.
Can't live without wool pressing mat...i never use fusible webbing for wool. Interested in the strip stick.
Is there a Part 2 for this video?????
I am working on putting that together

@@westcoastwool thank you!
Freezer paper is not sticking to my wool felt. Would you know why?
