I think the yellow dragon is my favorite. The cotton ones I machine stitched around the edges. I did a pretty terrible job of it, but you couldn't tell from a galloping horse. The felt ones I hand did with embroidery thread. </p> [attach=2423/12/mfes3v.600x448.image.jpg] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/diy-applique-onesies#post-459821 Fri, 21 Dec 2012 09:10:11 +0000 MediaNaranja 459821@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Crumbs: Thanks!<br /> @Mrsbells: I used a machine with a straight stitch. I think I set it 3 or 3.5. If I did out again though I would do a zig zag stitch. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/diy-applique-onesies#post-459772 Fri, 21 Dec 2012 08:38:14 +0000 Mrsbells 459772@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MediaNaranja: Did you sew it by hand or with a machine? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/diy-applique-onesies#post-459766 Fri, 21 Dec 2012 08:33:32 +0000 stiffaknee 459766@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I do all of my appliques with my embroidery machine, but before that, I would use heat n' bond and then do a zig zag stitch around them. the heat n' bond keeps the fabric from unraveling, too. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/diy-applique-onesies#post-459702 Fri, 21 Dec 2012 05:04:51 +0000 SugarplumsMom 459702@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MediaNaranja: Wow, those look great! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/diy-applique-onesies#post-459692 Fri, 21 Dec 2012 04:45:40 +0000 BeachMama 459692@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Adorable.

It just didn't seem like the iron-on stuff would stay by themselves. They turned out really cute, especially since I used a contrasting color for the thread. It didn't gum up my needle at at all. Here they are:</p> <p>ETA: Ha, guess you can't really see the contrasting stitches, but they are there!</p> <p>[attach=2770/12/mfd2b7.600x450.DSC_0134.jpg] </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/diy-applique-onesies#post-459502 Thu, 20 Dec 2012 21:56:02 +0000 jedeve 459502@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Pen: Yeah, definitely going to have to sew around them - parts are already peeling up! They look cute though. Now I'm just wasting time online to come up with other silhouette ideas. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/diy-applique-onesies#post-459134 Thu, 20 Dec 2012 17:23:14 +0000 Mrs. Pen 459134@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yup! I recommend sewing them. I'm not sure why it would harm your needle- just let the iron-on dry and cool down first.</p> <p>Or you could hand stitch them. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/diy-applique-onesies#post-459088 Thu, 20 Dec 2012 16:53:28 +0000 tororojo 459088@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I haven't made any, but I would wash it inside out and lay out to dry and I doubt you'd have trouble--I do this w/stuff you're not supposed to machine wash all the time. ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/diy-applique-onesies#post-459077 Thu, 20 Dec 2012 16:50:48 +0000 jedeve 459077@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Has anyone done the diy applique onesies you see all over pinterest? I got some stuff to make them, I was just wondering if the applique starts to come off after a few washes. I was thinking about sewing over it, but then someone told me that can gum up your sewing needle. </p>
