Fabric Applique
Appliqué Craft of Orissa
It's not exactly a craft but a way of life for most residents of Pipili! The place lying adjacent to the national Highway from Bhubaneswar to Puri is famous world over for its appliqué work! Rows of shops in Pipli flaunt of appliquéd handbags, bed sheets, wall hangings, purses, cushion covers, letter cases, pillow covers, canopies and garden umbrellas created by craftsmen of these villages!
The beautiful craft has been practiced in these parts of the world since ages. A visit to the quintessential village in Pipili and you can find men, women and even kids engrossed in this craft. Patronized by kings and nobles, this craft has evolved with time to reach heights of excellence.
So what is Appliqué?? Appliqué is actually a French term that refers to the art of superimposing patches of colored fabrics on a piece of basic fabric/cloth to give it an altogether a new look. Fragmented pieces of glass, metals, wires or woods are now a day's used extensively while superimposition. This craft owes its origin to the Jagannath Culture of Puri and can be traced back to at least one thousand years. The appliqué products prepared then were used exclusively in the religious ceremonies of the Lord Jagannath. However with times, the products and even the styles of making appliqué products have evolved. Craftsmen of Orissa today make whole range of appliqué products like wall hangings, umbrellas and even cushion covers.
There is a well set format that the craftsmen follow to make the Appliqués. After selecting the base material which is customarily square, rectangular or circular, Appliqué motifs in contrasting colors are cut. Mostly in red, purple, black, yellow, green and white color, the motifs are cut in the shape of animals, birds, flowers, and gods. . These are then stitched on the base material in aesthetic arrangements to give it a completely new look. While the motifs give a lively look to the entire arrangement, it's the stitches and delicate embroidery that makes them eye catching.
As has been mentioned earlier this craft, generally involve the entire craftsman family. Work is thus divided among the family members on the basis of their skill. Generally the more skillful counterparts go for making the motifs and the design while the less experienced take up simple works like making the base cloth and stitching the base borders.
A vivid expression of the tradition of Orissa, appliqué works toady form one of the most exported items of handicrafts from Orissa. And as mark of encouragement, the government recognizes this as a cottage industry in Orissa!

Why is my fabric jamming in my sewing machine?
I'm trying to do a blanket stitch on the edge of my hand cut cotton applique on a cotton stretch tee, the tee keeps getting jammed down into the well and it's looking really messy! I'm getting frustrated, do I need a different needle??? HELP
You need to stabilize the fabric.
This can be done by laying tissue (like wrapping paper) or a water soluble stabilizer (sold with machine embroidery supplies) under the fabric.
Do a sample first to get comfortable with the technique.
Use a microtex needle as it is the sharpest. A ballpoint needle will not penetrate the cotton applique unless it is also knit.
