I also have perused Alabama Studio Style (the first book) and Alabama Studio Sewing Patterns (the latest release) thanks to my local library. <br /><br />I would skip the first book, but the Sewing Patterns book has quite a bit of information on basic alterations as well as the embroidery techniques + all many of the patterns and a few stencils included on a CD which I would recommend.<br /><br />I also enjoyed the Craftsy class - there is a lot of wonderful information in that as well!Laura Maehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01288197213619181028noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4823578805242157520.post-11416464638962578302015-06-25T22:42:24.266-07:002015-06-25T22:42:24.266-07:00The Alabama Chanin instructions suggest hand basti...The Alabama Chanin instructions suggest hand basting a line of thread along curved edges to keep them from stretching out while working on the applique.<br /><br />I hand stitched all of the seams and they are plenty sturdy, but if you wanted to speed up the process, that would certainly be an option.Laura Maehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01288197213619181028noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4823578805242157520.post-55981033355852741862015-06-23T05:16:07.204-07:002015-06-23T05:16:07.204-07:00This is beautiful!

A question for you; would you recommend hand sewing the entire top, or would it make sense to reinforce the seams on a machine if you are not trying to be a purist?
