Become a Custom Applique Designer – Super Easy!
Custom applique quilts are easy to design – with a little inspration from simple line drawings.
When the standard patterns just don’t excite you, create Your Own. It’s as easy as flipping through a child’s coloring book or searching through clip art.
Custom appliqu?uilts are perfect gifts (and prized heirloom treasures) for celebrating the birth of a new baby. When the mom-to-be picks a less popular nursery theme, it can be hard to find a coordinating gift. That will Make Your custom appliqu?uilt extra special!
One woman chose a “Cat in the Hat” theme for her newborn’s room. She wanted something different and knew she’d have to custom sew and accessorize just about everything in the room.
She turned to an old coloring book for inspiration. The lines in children’s coloring books are generally simple, especially in coloring books for younger aged children.
For the crib quilt, she enlarged a coloring book page of the cat’s hat. Using the enlargement for a pattern, she appliqu?red stripes onto the hat which she had cut from white fabric.
With the help of iron-on adhesive, she added the striped hat to the center of her crib Quilt Top and stitched around it with a satin stitch. She added coordinating prints around the sides for the border and without much effort at all, had a custom appliqu?uilt. She used the same techniques to add characters from the famous Dr. Seuss story to bumper pads and to create a Wall Hanging for the nursery, too.
It’s easy to use the same procedure for creating a custom appliqu?rom clip art. Pick your theme, then start looking for appropriate art. The important thing is to look for simple lines.
Don’t forget that you can manipulate some clip art. Once you open a clip art file, see if you can select the image then choose “ungroup” from the edit command. If it will allow you to ungroup, you can make simple changes.
For instance, if you’re looking for a Santa riding a reindeer, but the one you’ve found has ornaments hanging from the reindeer’s antlers, ungrouping will probably allow you to actually delete those ornaments from the art design. Don’t forget to save your art once you’ve completed your editing!
Many quilters prefer to assemble the custom applique separately, then finish by stitching it to their quilt top or quilt block. Others, however, like to assemble piece by piece onto the quilt top or block by basting, then finishing the stitches with either an appliqu?titch, zig-zag or satin stitch.
You may also use fonts in the same way. It’s really easy to create a custom appliqu?uilt with a name or favorite hobby (“Cheer!” and “Play Ball!” are two that come to mind). Just type the words, making the letters the size you want. You may have to print the letters individually rather than on one sheet if you want them to be substantially large.
You can even make custom appliqu?with Greek letters for your favorite fraternity or sorority member by using a font like Symbols for the pattern.
Once you’ve printed the letters, they are your pattern for your custom appliqu?esign. Experiment with the positioning once they’re cut out. Have fun and create interest by overlapping the letters in some places.
You must observe copyright laws when using other media to help you design custom appliqu?atterns. Most art is under law in which if used for personal use only, there is no copyright infringement. If you try to sell your custom appliqu?rojects using the already published art, you are likely in violation of copyright law.
The same goes for fonts. There are many websites that allow viewers to download and use free fonts, but most of those include stipulations that the use of the fonts must be for personal – not commercial – use only.
