What is Needle-Turn Applique?

Needle-Turn Appliqué

Here patterns are drawn onto fabric and pre-cut but the pieces include a bit of extra material outside of the drawn pattern. The fabric is then sewn along the pattern lines to the fabric below and as the stitchery sews down the pieces as they go they turn the excess fabric below, so it is sandwiched between the fabric on the top and bottom layers. This also hides the stitches and the extra material pushes the top layer out creating a three dimensional effect. Needle-turn Appliqué must be done by hand or sophisticated machinery.
