Appliqué

Appliqué is a decorative technique in textiles where smaller pieces of fabric are sewn onto a larger fabric to create patterns or images. This method can be used in quilting, clothing, and home decor to add visual interest and texture. The top layer is typically cut into a shape and stitched down, sometimes with decorative edges. Appliqué can be done by hand or machine and is popular for its versatility, allowing artists and crafters to express creativity while enhancing the design of their projects.
