Wool Applique by Machine (Block 4)

In today's video my daughter in law Beth took on the fourth block in the 2024 hand wool applique "block of the month" from Wonderfil by machine, while I was recovering from surgery. I'm actually done with that, and will be back for the next video, but for today Beth will be showing you her version of the Toucan. BTW, this like most of my videos is indexed, so if you need to review a particular section, look at the table of contents below and the links will take you directly to the section you want.

Disclaimer: This video is not sponsored, and Wonderfil isn't helping produce these videos, but they did sell me the project kit at a discount. Also, the supplies I have listed below for this stitch library are Amazon affiliate links. If you use them to purchase your supplies, I will get a small amount, but it will not increase your costs. Nevertheless, these are my favorites for this kind of work.
