CONFETTI APPLIQUÉ - ANATOMY OF THE DESIGN
When creating your confetti effect, you can use anything that
your needle can easily pass through. In our block, we chose
to stick with scrap fabric, incorporating the various colors that
were used in our other block designs to help tie them all
together.
Remember it is okay to lay your confetti pieces on the edges
of the placement stitch since we will trim the shape again
once the organza is in place.
Creativity is always a fun avenue to explore, but we don’t want
to break anything! Remember when choosing your confetti
elements that they will be passing under your embroidery
needle. This means no hard items like buttons or pins.
We generally reach for scrap ribbon, small pieces of
coordinating fabric, and sometimes even shiny candy
wrappers for a pop of sparkle (just be sure to enjoy the candy
before placing the wrapper down!)
