Unlike standard appliqués, hidden
appliqués are not outlined by
satin stitches, which would disrupt
the irregularity of fur or other
natural-looking elements.
Everyone knows you can hide eggs for
an Easter egg hunt, but did you know
you can hide appliqués, too? What
brings these lovely embroidered Easter
bunnies to life is our hidden appliqué
technique. Hidden appliqués help fill
in a design or shape with a base color,
and then dimensional shading in varying
hues is stitched on top, partially or fully
covering the appliqué. This technique
is super effective for filling in larger
areas with color. Since the sketchy
style of stitching can closely mimic
fur or feathers, hidden appliqués are
especially great for stitching realisticlooking
animals! These adorable bunny
friends look so soft and fuzzy, you’ll
want to hop to stitching straight away!
