We all lead busy lives. It is difficult to carve out time to take a quilting class, even when you have a good teacher in your area. Taking a class has its own challenges...being able to see what the teacher is doing, and then remembering what you learned days, weeks, or even years later. What's the solution? A DVD, of course. If your goal is to learn needleturn applique, or to improve your techniques we recommend our DVD: 2 Fabric Applique Quilts with Nancy Lee Chong. Why a DVD? It can be played over and over again while you practice your techniques; it is there for you when you have time, now or a year from now; no one is blocking your view of the teacher; no internet connection is required.

With this DVD you will learn Nancy's stressfree needleturn applique techniques while learning to make one of our 2 Fabric Applique Quilts. The pattern for the 11" x 17" Dragonfly quilt pictured on the cover is included, but you can follow along with the DVD using any of our 2FAQ patterns. Needleturn applique is a universal skill that can be applied to any applique project.
