Do you mind if I use it? There are a good number of people that I know to whom that applies very well. I've actually never heard of back-basting. You can bet your bippy I'll be using it when I do applique again. I LOVE the term “Charm-free.” Do you mind if I use it? There are a good number of people that I know to whom that applies very well.

That is how I was taught to do applique by my grandmother. I used a darning needle and crochet cotton. I made baby sacks for my baby cousin. It wasn't called applique, it was called "make it pretty". My grandmother came to this country in the late 1800's. She immediately set up shop as a dressmaker. I have been sewing or embroidering my whole life. But started quilting in the late 70's. Her quilts were made on the Lower East Side in NY, and were feather filled. It is at least 6 decades old. That is how I was taught to do applique by my grandmother.

Wonderful use of words; our children should know the power of words instead of trying to shortening communication to each other.
