applique

Appliqué is a decorative technique used in textiles, where one piece of fabric is sewn onto another to create patterns or images. The top layer, often with different colors or textures, is stitched down around the edges to secure it. This method is popular in quilting, clothing design, and craft projects, as it adds visual interest and dimension to the fabric. Appliqué can be done by hand or machine and allows for creativity in design, making it a versatile choice for both practical and artistic applications.
