Applique patches are the decorative pieces of fabric stitched or fused on a foundation fabric by machine or sewn by hand. The primary purpose is to add texture and embellishment to the garments, linens or quilts. The technique is derived from the French word 'to apply' and involves layering on to the fabric and securing it with stitches, often satin stitch around the edges. The iron on applique requires setting the iron to right temperature, followed by ironing and cooling. These versatile patches are perfect for decoration and also repair.
