Quilter’s Alphabet “O”

This O is very round and offers a chance to practice pivoting for curved appliqué. Remember how often you pivot when stitching your appliqué?

Every Five Minutes or Every Hour!?!?!

What I mean is… If you think about an analog clock face, it is a circle divided into twelve sections. You should pivot at least twelve times when stitching a circle.

And the best tip for zigzag appliqué?
Pivot with your needle down on the outer edge of the appliqué when stitching an outer curve (Like the outside of this O)
And with your needle down on the inner edge of the appliqué when stitching an inner curve (Like the interior curve of the O).
For more info on machine applique, check out my Machine Applique PDF.

There is lots happening on this site. If you need any of our Quilter’s Alphabet patterns (This Block Of The Week will continue through the summer), check the archives. And browse around the site for lots of other free patterns. We are working on our 2012 series of Doll Quilts ( I’m hoping to have a new doll quilt for you in the next week) and lots more swap patterns. And there are even more Patterns on my Etsy site.

And coming soon will be our 2012 Fall Quilts which will be the glorious and historic Burgoyne Surrounded (Supply List now available) and the beautiful Iris Quilt.  The Iris block is posted there and the setting will be given in the fall so start working on those Iris  blocks!

And just posted for this summer: The 2012 Sunset and Vine Mystery Quilt. Clues began July 3.  If you are just joining us, here is the Supply List… And Clue One.

You’ll never get bored at LynBrown.com.
