Default Re: Questions about applique

hi, so sorry that it seems I am not answering your question. I did not do these appliques, i handed it off to a contracter, but it seems like the put a trasfer paper on the back of my fabric, then cut out my letters and sewed them on...so yes, i would assume the scratchiness is coming from the stabilizer.
I am also told I should be using a stabalizer called Pellum (sp?) which is much softer.
I am brand spanking new at this process, so I am kinda of teaching myself as i go.
I am using a lightweight shirt from American Apparel, and will eventually be using their thermals and 2x1 rib tanks.
Can you explain to me what a soft cut away as? as all this terminology is new to me. thank you so much. You guys are really great and helpful!
