Who would ever believe these beautiful African Violets were created on an embroidery machine? Typically, machine embroidery is two-dimensional, but by stitching 3-D designs in the hoop, they become amazingly lifelike.

This freestanding lace bowl and doily features beautiful lilies. Stitch each piece out separately on water-soluble stabilizer, then stitch them together for a lovely lace accent piece or gift basket.

These layered flowers are shabby chic. Use them as an embellishment on a quilt, wall hanging or purse, or attach a pin to the back for a seasonal brooch.

What a unique way to display embroidered flowers! Organza lends a delicate hand and helps reflect light. Another three-dimensional design, this one stitches on water-soluble stabilizer before being assembled into shimmering accent lighting that would be gorgeous as home accent or special occasion decor.

Ordinary flameless tea lights become quite extraordinary with the addition of an embroidered flower. Petals stitch out quickly and everything is done in the hoop!
Appliqué the flower way

Even something as simple as switching out the stitched button for a real button makes ordinary appliqué more interesting. You don’t even have to edit the design. Just skip through the button embroidery colors.

Choose from three different finishing stitches that coordinate with the AccuQuilt GO! Fun Flower die. Don’t have the die? No problem: Just use the appliqué color stops to place, tack and trim your fabric.
