Reverse appliqué is the signature look of Natalie’s designs at Alabama Chanin. Natalie demystifies the process in this workshop, showing you how to add depth and texture to a cotton table runner. The technique is worked on two layers of fabric, with the top layer stenciled and then stitched to the backing layer. Once stitched in place, parts of the top layer are cut away to expose the color below for a satisfying final reveal.

Thank you, Natalie, for the inspiration! I love the look of the reversed appliqué and intend to try this technique, it definitely seems very meditative. I especially love Natalie's idea of "loving the thread" and putting all that love into your project. Really thorough instruction, she covers everything there is to know.
