BethDurand Posted June 15, 2010 Author Report Share Posted June 15, 2010 Has anyone ever tried this, and where did you get it? Did you like it? We're going to be starting the McKenna Ryan "Chrissy Down Under" in the future, and someone asked if I could get this. Thanks in advance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Linda S Posted June 15, 2010 Report Share Posted June 15, 2010 I'm not quite sure I understand what you mean Beth. Do you want to print the design out on the wrong side of the fabric, then put wonder-under or steam-a-steam on it and cut it out, then fuse it? I've used wonder-under (a Pellon product) for fusible applique before. It needs to be totally fused, or it will start popping up when you go to quilt it. I find it generally a better idea to at least lightly tack down the applique when making the quilt. Sometimes fusibles just don't stick well enough. Oh - forgot to say, you could iron your fabric, right side down, onto the shiny side of freezer paper and run it through your printer or copier to get the designs if you didn't feel like tracing them.

ffq-lar Posted June 15, 2010 Report Share Posted June 15, 2010 Hi Beth, I have a quilting buddy who used this for a McKenna Ryan pattern. She says it works well and keeps you from needing to trace all the shapes yourself. The only down-side was that the pattern sheet was huge so she had to first make a correct-size copy of the pattern to fit into her printer. Also, only ink-jet printers can be used--no laser printers. But the process was easy and her shapes were perfect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mestuart Posted June 16, 2010 Report Share Posted June 16, 2010 Interesting thread, but would appreciate more detail. Sounds like the only way to do a Mckenna Ryan pattern. Hope to hear more. Happy Stitching. Marion in BC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
