Quilt Applique

Start a Quilting Business Making and Selling Custom Tree Skirts
Christmas is a time of year when people splurge. They buy gifts for people, they decorate their homes and offices, and they create special memories for their friends and families. Your quilting business niche could be making and selling custom tree skirts for the holidays.
Who buys custom tree skirts? People who can't make them themselves...and there are plenty of people who can't! If you are a quilter, chances are that you've made one for yourself or even for a friend as a gift. Maybe you've never considered making and selling them.
Making and selling custom tree skirts can be a year around business. Here's how to get started:
First, make a couple of tree skirts to show as samples. Use a traditional quilt pattern in Christmas-themed fabric to make a sample. For another sample, make it truly customized. Use machine embroidery to put a name on the tree skirt or appliqu?he name onto the quilted skirt.
Another way to show a customized tree skirt is to use appliqu?If you are making a tree skirt for a fireman, you could start with a solid color cotton background and appliqué onto it designs like a fireman hat, a hydrant, etc. You would use your quilting skills to quilt around each appliqu?br />
Applique is the best way to customize a tree skirt for a business. The base of the skirt is your pallet and the appliqu?are your works of art!
Don't let the word "art" scare you. If you haven't done a lot of applique, you might not realize just how easy it is to create a custom tree skirt. Your designs are as close as your clip art collection.
If you have a business customer who wants a logo on the customized quilted tree skirt, you might need a scanner (or at least access to one). Print out a copy of the business' logo and use it as the pattern for your appliqu?br />
Once you have a few samples, you can sell your custom tree skirts in a couple of different ways. Advertise and wait for customers to call, or sell them directly to potential customers.
In using the advertising method, snap photos of each of your custom designs. Make fliers using the photos. Develop a webpage using the pictures, or place a small ad in a local newspaper.
With the direct sales method, you pack up your quilted tree skirts and hit the road. You ask people if they'd like to buy one. Some of the best places to go (if the offices allow solicitors) include a county courthouse or city hall, banks, schools, and hospitals. While you're there, make sure to ask the top ranking official if he/she would like to buy one for the business, not just for the home.
A combination of the two methods is to sell at quilt and craft shows. This can be tricky unless you have several generic skirts ready to sell during the show. Choose a few traditional patterns and a few appliques for top professions like nursing, teaching, banking, etc.
Selling at craft shows gives you a market full of people who want to spend money on crafts. It will also give you a chance to be physically in front of customers without the aggressiveness often needed to be successful in direct sales.
No matter which method of sales you choose, always attach a business card with each custom tree skirt you sale. When your customers get compliments about the skirts, they can refer their friends to you!

What is the easiest way to do an applique?
I am doing a quilt and am cutting out a picture to put on each square. What is the easiest way to applique this to the quilt square? I am using brocade materials that were given to me left over from a decorator.
I'm assuming the picture that you are cutting out is a fabric. For this technique, you'll need to get some interfacing. When you cut out the pictures, make sure you have a 1/4" to a 5/8" seam allowance. Cut out a piece of interfacing that is slightly larger than your cut piece of fabric. Place the interfacing on top of the FRONT side of the fabric. Sew around the outside of the picture (the end result will be the area of fabric inside the sewn line, so how you do this is up to you) Since interfacing is usually very thin, it is see-through so you'll still be able to see what you are doing. Trim the excess seam to about 1/4" but no less than an 1/8th". With scissors, carefully cut a hole in the INTERFACING so that you can turn it inside out. Once you turn the fabric, use a bodkin(anything thin and NOT sharp) to lightly straighten the sewn edges around the inside of the piece. Iron it flat, then sew to your block. I hope that was clear enough.
